Do you remember your first love? The one who had you head over hills, staying on the phone until the wee hours of the morning? The one that gave you butterflies in your stomach?
Stimulating Scripture: 1 John 4:19 (NKJV):
“We love Him because He first loved us.”
Food for Thought:
Do you remember your first love? The one who had you head over hills, staying on the phone until the wee hours of the morning? The one that gave you butterflies in your stomach? I am in a great relationship (marriage) with an amazing man. However, there is no other love greater than that of Jesus Christ! He is undoubtedly my first love! He pursued me when I didn’t love myself and continued to remind me daily that he loved me. Jesus consistently shows me that he loves me unconditionally.
God loved us so much that He gave His only son to die for you and me! In my eyes, there is no love greater than that! When you allow yourself to be truly loved by God, unconditionally, you will experience a love like never before. He will guide you, protect you, comfort you, console you, make you laugh and cry all in the same day! He wants what is absolutely the best for you and your life. He loves you even when no one else does.
Prayer:
Father God, thank you for loving us unconditionally. Thank you for allowing your son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins. We ask that You continue to shower us with love in the midst of our sins. In your son, Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
