TOPIC: God Loves You In Spite Of You (TREM Devotional 3 May 2023)

“We love him, because he first loved us.” 1 John 4:19 (KJV)

Wisdom For The Day MESSAGE:

Our capacity to love is not of ourselves. It is because God first loved us, and His love is shed abroad in our hearts. The world cannot love because they do not have the capacity to love. You may be wondering how possible that is. The question is “what is the love of God”? Do you understand His love? If you do, you will realize that the world does not have the capacity to exhibit that kind of love.

What is the love of God? The love of God loves, not because of who you are or what you have done. The love of God loves you in spite of you! The world loves you when you are doing the right things. The world loves you when you favour them. But that is not the love of God. The love of God loves you even when you are dead in sin and totally far from Him. His love reaches out to you in the pit and pulls you out of the pit. The love of God keeps reaching out to you despite your response to Him in hope that someday, you will accept His love. So, when we love Him, we are simply reciprocating His love.

The love of God is reaching out to you today. Are you held down by guilt? The love of God is reaching out to you. Is your past haunting you? I encourage you to forgive yourself because the love of God is reaching out to you. His love for you is unconditional, irrevocable, irreversible, and iron-clad. Accept His love today and walk in the boldness of the freedom He has made available for you. I assure you that the Lord will deliver the victory into your hands. He will cause His face to shine upon you, grant you peace on every side, and uphold you with His mighty outstretched Hand. You are unstoppable!
