THE HEART OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER

“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

God loves us so much that He gave Jesus to die on the cross for our sins.  What kind of love would make God give His beloved Son to die on the cross for us and what kind of love would make Jesus willingly walk that long lonely road to Calvary and allow them to crucify Him for our sins?

It is an amazing and an unconditional love that only comes from the heart of our Heavenly Father and Jesus.  O how They love us!  Nobody loves us like They love us and nobody ever will.  I write about love a lot but love, unconditional love is the answer to all our heartaches.  Do you know They love you?

It is not enough to know that They love us.  We must allow it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge.  Yes, God and Jesus love us but do we love Them?  If we do love Them, what are we doing to prove to Them that we love Them?  To serve Jesus, we will have to get out of our comfort zone.

We will have to shut off the television and go tell everyone we see that Jesus loves them so much that He left His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth.  God didn’t make Jesus come to earth to die.  Jesus chose to come here on the mission His Father had given Him and that is what we must do.

We must make the decision to serve Jesus.  If you want to make our Heavenly Father happy, serve His beloved Son.  If ever someone deserves to be happy, it is Jesus, the Saviour of the world.  O how I love Jesus!  He is the reason I’m happy today.
