BECAUSE OF HIS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

John 3:16 KJV

A teenage boy was talking to a man who loved his mother.  The boy asked the man if he was going to ask his mother to marry him.  The man said “You don’t understand. There are problems.”  The boy rolled his eyes as he said to the man “My mother loves you and you love her.  That’s all that matters.”

When we hurt God as we all do, I believe if we will look with the eyes of our heart we will see God rolling His eyes and hear Him saying to us “I love you unconditionally and I always will.”  Just as children are sometimes disobedient to their parents, we are sometimes disobedient to God but He still loves us.

Why did God give Jesus to die for our sins?  It is because of His unconditional love for us.  God loves us even when we hurt Him and disobey Him.  His love for us is an unconditional love.  God loves us now and He will love us for all eternity.  There is nothing we could ever do that would make Him stop loving us.

When we doubt His unconditional love for us, I believe it hurts Him and breaks His heart.  There is nothing more that He can do to prove to us how much He loves us.  God gave His only Son to die for us because He loves us so much.  It is the precious cleansing blood of Jesus that assures us of a home in Heaven.

Heavenly Father, I love You and appreciate You.  Thank You for adopting me and for the privilege of serving Your beloved Son.  Jesus, I love You with all my heart.  I love You, Holy Spirit.  Thank You for comforting me.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
