THE GREATEST LOVE

“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”



1 John 4: 9, 10

King James Version




I have the best family in the world. I love them dearly and they love me and prove it by their actions. Yet, their love for me and my love for them is nothing compared to the Love that God gives us. This is the greatest Love that we will ever know.


When I woke up this morning, I was filled with gratitude that I don’t have to go outside to go to the bathroom like they used to do. I looked around my home and saw all the comforts that God has given me. I have a bed to sleep on, dishes to eat on, clothes to wear, food to eat, water to drink, a bathtub, towels and washrags, shoes for my feet, and a healthy body except for arthritis.


We take so many things for granted. I am so thankful for all that He has done for me. I didn’t deserve any of them. None of us are worthy of good things; it is only through the atoning blood of Jesus that we stand before Him spotless. God sees us through the heart of Jesus. He doesn’t see our failures, mistakes and sins. He sees the redemptive blood of Jesus that has been applied to our hearts.


To be loved by your spouse, your children, parents, siblings, loved ones and friends is wonderful, but to be Loved by the Saviour of the world is a joy that is impossible to put into words. Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords Loves us. He Loves us and has proved it by His actions. The question we need to ask ourselves is “Do I love Him”?
