IT REALLY IS

“The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”

Jeremiah 31:3 KJV

Leila N. Morris wrote “Sweeter As The Years Go By”  “He healed the broken hearted, and caused the blind to see; And still His great heart yearneth in love for even me. Sweeter as the years go by, sweeter as the years go by, Richer, fuller, deeper, Jesus' love is sweeter, Sweeter as the years go by.”

What an amazing unconditional love Jesus has for you and for me.  It really is sweeter as the years go by.  I love Jesus so much and just when I think I couldn’t love Him more, He does something so wonderful it brings tears of happiness to my eyes.  What a precious Saviour we have!

Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote the beautiful hymn “I Could Never Out love the Lord”.  It is so true.  We could never love Jesus more than He loves us.  Not only does Jesus give us unconditional love; He is unconditional love.  If someone asks you who Jesus is, tell them He is Love.

Do you realize what a privilege it is to be loved by the Saviour of the world?  He loves us so much He left His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth and die on the cross for our sins.  He had never sinned, yet He willingly walked that long lonely road to Calvary and allowed them to crucify Him.

If you ever think nobody loves you, remember the cross.  No one ever loved you like Jesus loves you and no one ever will.  His love is unconditional and never ending.  He loved you yesterday.  He loves you today and He will love you forever!
