God's Great Love!

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! (1 John 3:1)

I love that word—lavished! God has covered us with His love! He has freely poured out his love upon us!

 

Lavish means “to bestow something in generous or extravagant quantities.” In my imagination, I see myself completely covered and swimming in God’s love!

That’s the kind of God I serve. He loves us so much that He gave the greatest gift—His one and only Son to die for us. He has given us new life that we could live a full life now and then live forever with Him!

The world is looking for love—most of the time in the wrong places. God has granted the gift of His love, which is greater than any other love we will ever encounter. All we have to do is reach out and accept it from Him!

Father, thank You for Your great love that You have lavished upon us through Jesus Christ Your Son!
