AN OVERWHELMING 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

Yesterday when I was at Wal-Mart, I felt an overwhelming love for God and for Jesus and I started singing a hymn out loud right there at the store.  I sang quietly but I had to sing because I was very happy and filled with love for our Heavenly Father and for our precious Saviour.  O how I love Them!

Just as I felt an overwhelming love for God and Jesus yesterday, God and Jesus feel an overwhelming love for us every day.  Not only do They love us and will always love us, They also love us unconditionally.  There is nothing you could do that would make Them stop loving you.   O how They love you.

It was because of an overwhelming love for you and for me that God gave His beloved Son to die for our sins.  It was because of an overwhelming love for us that Jesus allowed them to beat Him beyond recognition, spit on Him, mock Him and ridicule Him.  His unconditional love for you kept Him on the cross.

Heavenly Father, I love You.  Thank You for adopting me into Your family and for allowing me to serve Jesus.  It is a privilege to serve my precious Saviour.  Jesus, I love You with all my heart and one happy day I will see You face to face.  Holy Spirit, I love You.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
