How Beautiful Your Love is

You brought to my mind how beautiful Your love is. It is pure and lovely. It brings down barriers that are humanly immovable, it transforms hearts, it illumines the dark places, and it bears the eternal fruit of the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ.


What a privilege it is to know the love of God the Father! There is no greater treasure on this earth than to have this divine love dwelling within us through Your Holy Spirit.

“See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are.” 1 John 3:1
“So we have this treasure in earthen vessels so that the surpassing greatness of the power
will be of God and not from ourselves. 1Cor 4:7

There is no one on this earth that can earn the love of God. It is a free gift and ready to be given to any that are willing to ask and receive it. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast.” Eph 2:8-9

Having accepted this marvelous gift, You, Father, continue to pour it out to us daily, hour by hour, minute by minute; to be held, but not kept. When we allow Your love to be active within us, it is a crystal clear river divinely appointed to flow to the lost, the unlovely, and the ones in our lives most difficult to love in our own strength. What hope You give to us Father! It is not us, but it is Your love flowing in the grace of Your Spirit.

Thank You Father for the amazing grace to know this divine love You have loved us with. His name is Jesus.
