Chosen by Love

John 3:16 - 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.

Love!!! The word brings to mind many emotions. Many of us have experienced its joys, sorrows, and pains; but the love we will focus on today is the love that fills us with joy, hope, peace and rest.

God so loved…. God’s love is agape love. Agape loves is:
- Steadfast
- Unfailing
- Unchanging
- A love that is constant

God’s love for man is steadfast, unfailing, unchanging and constant. Because His love is so great toward man, He allowed Jesus to suffer a horrible death so we could experience His amazing, undeserved love in our lives.

Because of His great love, it is clear that, when we love, the fruit of love is giving. Love causes us to give of our time, efforts, resources, and ourselves. The love the Father has for His children is a love that is timeless -- a love that keeps on giving even when we mess up and miss the mark. His love never stops giving to us. It is in constant pursuit of us.

God so loved (you – add your name) that He gave His one and only Son just for you; and, if you were the only person on planet earth, He would have still given His one and only Son’s life for yours.

What great love the Father has for you!!

Ponder and meditate on this:

How deep and how wide is God’s love for you (add your name)?
