Good Morning Beauties!
So far in our journey, I’ve boldly declared we’re in a battle as described in our key Bible verse, “The enemy comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, but i have come to give you life to the full.” John 10:10. Today I want to look at the second part of the verse, the Jesus part. His promise to us. Jesus’ purpose for coming to Earth was to bring us life, true life, and it begins with His love.
What do you know about the love of Christ? The Bible gives us a beautiful description in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, “Love is large and incredibly patient. Love is gentle and consistently kind to all. It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else. Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance. Love does not traffic in shame and disrespect, nor selfishly seek its own honor. Love is not easily irritated or quick to take offense. Love joyfully celebrates honesty and finds no delight in what is wrong.Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others. Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up. Love never stops loving.” The Passion Translation.
Do you know His love? This unimaginable, all encompassing, glorious, rich, and perfect love? Do you know it? I't’s the one that holds you in higher regard than any majestic mountain, delicate flower, roaring ocean, or morning sunrise. It’s the one that says your good enough just the way you are and has already forgiven every trespass you’ve ever done or will do. You are loved above it all!
To know this love is to know Jesus. He IS love. It’s not something He does, it’s something He is. Do you know Him? Selah.
