Have you ever just thought about
how GREAT our God is? Think
about it like this…
If you were to take a sharpie and make a dot on a piece of
paper, that dot would be exponentially larger than size of Earth in comparison
to the largest star man has ever discovered. God created that. He created the
vastness, but He also created the microscopic. And, He created it all with just
the sound of His voice. We have nothing that can compare with the greatness of our
God and His creation.
However, in all of God’s greatness, He made us. He could
have spoken us into existence like everything else, but instead, “The Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a
living being. (Genesis 2:7)” God got down on His hands and knees and
created mankind. He didn’t leave them after that, either. No, He walked
intimately beside man every day. Even after Adam and Eve sinned, God clothed
and protected them.
Why? Read 1 John 4:10 – 12:
This
is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an
atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear
friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God
lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
God has loved us from the very beginning. He put the
ultimate marker of His love on us when He sent Jesus to die on the cross as a
sacrifice for our sins. He knows our sins, insecurities, and deepest fears –
and He meets us there with His perfect love. God loves us – intimately, passionately, and unconditionally.
What if we embraced this love so much that it flowed out of
us to others? What if we lived this month – and all year – loving each other
with the same love with which God loves us?
