How Wonderful the Love of God
“How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall always be how marvelous! How wonderful is my Savior’s love for me.”
Do you ever feel that way? I never cease to be amazed at the depths of my Savior’s love for me. His presence is amazing. His forgiveness is unreal. His compassion like no other’s. Yet He is also just. He requires holiness and obedience. This too is a reflection of His love, as a life of sin and selfish pleasure only leads to unfulfillment and death. Yes, God loves us more than we can imagine. How can we not then live for Him?
I’m convinced that if we would keep our eyes on the cross, we could not sin. Our hearts would become sensitive and our consciences tender that we would strive to do what is pleasing in God’s sight. That seems impossible as we go about our daily lives, faced with temptations at every turn but, with God’s help, it’s not impossible. As you go through each day, evaluate your tasks, your attitude, your thoughts. Do they please God? Are the things you’re doing those you would do if God Himself were standing beside you? The fact is that He is beside you. Nothing escapes His view.
Take time today to thank God for His love. Ask Him to show you how to return that love. He is so worthy.
