"I Just Love You!"

It’s crazy how the image of love is completely skewed nowadays. It’s just that- image. Sad. Love is more than appearance. More than having sex. And it’s definitely more than a phrase we use daily.


”.. Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” -John 15:12-13


That’s exactly what he did for you. Not to make you guilty, but to free you from that guilt. He loves you so incredibly much that he gave all that he had: his life, his all. And he was so powerful that not even death could hold him down. Why did he do it? Why go through the pain? For you. He loves you THAT much. He knew you would sin, mess up, & fall. That didn’t stop him. Never has, never will. That love that he has for you is commitment. Not easy or a breeze, but always there. Why wouldn’t you except that love? Even when no one has loved you, He has.


“And I am convinced that nothing can ever seperate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can seperate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below- indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to seperate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” -Romans 8:38-39


Nothing. His love goes beyond all we can imagine. He chases after us. Even though we don’t deserve it. That’s dedication. Stop putting your faith in people. They will let you down. Our love will fluctuate, but His never ever will. He is constant and so us his faithful love. Whew, I need it!


“Dont just pretend to love others. Really love them..” -Romans 12:9
