PROOF OF HIS LOVE

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Romans 5:8 KJV

If you ever think God doesn’t love you, never forget that He has given us proof of His love for us when He gave His Son to die on the cross for us.  Do you understand that God loves you?  We read in the Bible “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13).

That is exactly what Jesus did for us.  He laid down His life for us.  He is not only our Saviour; He is the best Friend we will ever have.  He will never leave us, not even for a minute.  When we are hurting and we can’t sleep, Jesus sits beside our bed, holds our hand and dries our tears with tender kisses.

What are we doing to prove to God how much we love Him?  One of the greatest ways to prove our love for Him is to serve Jesus.  We need to understand that to serve Jesus we must shut off the television set, get out of our comfort zone and tell people that Jesus loves them so much He died for them.

Are you willing to serve Jesus?  Our precious Saviour left His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth to die on the cross for our sins so we can be saved and go to heaven.  Jesus never sinned yet He was beaten beyond recognition and endured pain and agony that you and I will never know.

Heavenly Father, You are a tender compassionate loving and loyal Father.  You have been so good to me through the years.  Thank You for the many countless times You have comforted and encouraged me.  I love You and appreciate all You have done for me.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
