God is Love. Perfect Love.

Today they played a song on the radio that I had never heard before. It was absolutely beautiful. I got to my destination and actually waited in the car until the song finished. Then I just sat quietly. Pondering that precious, little baby that came into this world over 2,000 years ago. That baby was our God. Our King. Our Savior. And yet, He was a baby. A precious, innocent, perfect baby born into this imperfect, cold and often dark world. And He was here for one reason... US. He was here because He loves us perfectly, completely and eternally. He was here to save us. He came to teach us, bless us, atone for us, die for us and rise again... all for us. Not one moment of His life was for Him. Not one moment of His sufferings or death was for His own sake. It was ALL for us. Can we even begin to fathom that kind of love? 

That sacred night God gave us the greatest give He could have ever given. 

His Son. Years later came another most sacred night. Christ gave us the greatest gift He could have ever given. His Perfect Life.

These 2 scriptures come to mind.

"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

"Greater love hath no man than this, 

that a man lay down his life for his friends." 

John 15:13

There is NO greater love than the perfect love God offers to us. He already loves us. He always has. He always will. And if we accept that love, our hearts and lives will be changed forever. We will experience all the joy and beauty this life and eternity have to offer. 

To you who read this post, I pray this night for you. I pray you will feel His Perfect Love. I pray you will know He came here just for you. I pray your heart will be healed, your faith will be strengthened and your love for life and God will increase. Please let go of any fear or frustration or pain you have ever felt. Let God take the load. That is why He came. Because He loves you so and wants to give you hope. All that is good, all that is right and true and real... 

it all comes from Him. And that is the gift He came here to offer you. 

Please... feel His Love. His Perfect Love for you.
