“No means of measure can define His limitless love”
God showed his love for us when he sent his only Son into the world to give us life. Real love isn’t our love for God, but his love for us. God sent his Son to be the sacrifice by which our sins are forgiven. 1 John 4:9-10
Can anything separate us from the love of Christ? Can trouble, suffering, and hard times, or hunger and nakedness, or danger and death? I am sure that nothing can separate us from God’s love–not life or death, not angels or spirits, not the present or the future,and not powers above or powers below. Nothing in all creation can separate us from God’s love for us in Christ Jesus our Lord! Romans 8
I kneel in prayer to the Father. All beings in heaven and on earth receive their life from him. God is wonderful and glorious. I pray that his Spirit will make you become strong followers and that Christ will live in your hearts because of your faith. Stand firm and be deeply rooted in his love.I pray that you and all of God’s people will understand what is called wide or long or high or deep. I want you to know all about Christ’s love, although it is too wonderful to be measured. Ephesians 3:14-19

What can we say about all this? If God is on our side, can anyone be against us? God did not keep back his own Son, but he gave him for us. If God did this, won’t he freely give us everything else? If God says his chosen ones are acceptable to him, can anyone bring charges against them? Or can anyone condemn them? No indeed! Christ died and was raised to life, and now he is at God’s right side, speaking to him for us. Can anything separate us from the love of Christ? Can trouble, suffering, and hard times, or hunger and nakedness, or danger and death? In everything we have won more than a victory because of Christ who loves us. I am sure that nothing can separate us from God’s love–not life or death, not angels or spirits, not the present or the future, and not powers above or powers below. Nothing in all creation can separate us from God’s love for us in Christ Jesus our Lord! Romans 8:31-39
God is love.
His love is lavish. His love made the way for us to be pure faultless innocent holy righteous and clean, that we can draw near to Him. His love rescues us.
Let us not be trapped by religion and going through the motions. Let our love not grow cold and stale and forgotten. Let it be fresh and real and relevant and relational.
Let loving God – living our lives in response to the love he gives and gave upon the cross….
“Genuine relationship starts when we see that the Father wants us desperately regardless of our choices in life. Regardless of our behavior. When we see His love is greater than our mistakes, we will trust Him. We won’t fear Him because His love is perfect. And we know that perfect love casts out fear” Lydia Joy
Jesus told us that God is light and doesn’t have any darkness in him. Now we are telling you. 1 john 1:5
God is light!
Tonight at housegroup we are having bible night – where we just open the bible at a prechose chapter (by me) and read it and then share what we like, what we learn about God, how we can make it real in our lives, what challenges us etc…
and today while roaming around my domestic stuff i had a click moment where somethnig clicked – God is light! and in the beginning God said Let there be light and there was. light was one of the first things that God created – the first substance of the unvierse! interesting that the first thing God creates is a representation or a likeness or a “hey this is like God type thing” – LIGHT!
light is warm.
light is necessary for life.
light helps us to see the way.
light overcomes the darkness.
light brings joy.
light reveals beauty.
God is light.
There is no darkness in him at all.
we can trust him to be pure and holy and right and good and great and kind and loving and generous and compassionate and merciful and all that light is. light learns to be light from God.
How great is God’s love for all
who worship him?
Greater than the distance
between heaven and earth!
i confess when i’ve read psalm 103 i’ve usually being most excited about verse 12. but last night i got really inspired and encoruaged and awed by verse 11, above. How great is God’s love for us? The greatest distance ever taht the psalmist could imagine – the distance of the heavens from teh earth….
Paul in Ephesians 3 prays for us – the church – I pray that you and all of God’s people will understand what is called wide or long or high or deep. I want you to know all about Christ’s love, although it is too wonderful to be measured. Then your lives will be filled with all that God is. I pray that Christ Jesus and the church will forever bring praise to God. His power at work in us can do far more than we dare ask or imagine. Amen.
“Here is a revelation bright as the evening star: Jesus comes for sinners, for those as outcast as tax collectors and for those caught up in squalid choices and failed dreams. He comes for corporate executives, street people, superstars, farmers, hookers, addicts, IRS agents, AIDS victims, and even used car salesman. Jesus not only talks with these people but dines with them–fully aware that his table fellowship with sinners will raise the eyes of the religious bureaucrats who hold up the robes and insignia of their authority to justify their condemnation of the truth and their rejection of the Gospel of Grace.” –Brennan Manning
sometimse we forget we are loved by God.
even though we may know “for God so loved the world… that he gave his only son…” we forget that God’s love for each one of us is real and everlasting.
this song reminds me. he loves me. he gave his all for me. the Son of God died for me. i am chosen. i am loved. i am forgiven. i am at peace with God.
Has anyone believed us
or seen the mighty power
of the LORD in action?
2Like a young plant or a root
that sprouts in dry ground,
the servant grew up
obeying the LORD.
He wasn’t some handsome king.
Nothing about the way he looked
made him attractive to us.
3He was hated and rejected;
his life was filled with sorrow
and terrible suffering.
No one wanted to look at him.
We despised him and said,
“He is a nobody!”
4He suffered and endured
great pain for us,
but we thought his suffering
was punishment from God.
5He was wounded and crushed
because of our sins;
by taking our punishment,
he made us completely well.
6All of us were like sheep
that had wandered off.
We had each gone our own way,
but the LORD gave him
the punishment we deserved.
7He was painfully abused,
but he did not complain.
He was silent like a lamb
being led to the butcher,
as quiet as a sheep
having its wool cut off.
8He was condemned to death
without a fair trial.
Who could have imagined
what would happen to him?
His life was taken away
because of the sinful things
my people had done. 9He wasn’t dishonest or violent,
but he was buried in a tomb
of cruel and rich people. 10The LORD decided his servant
would suffer as a sacrifice
to take away the sin
and guilt of others.
Now the servant will live
to see his own descendants. He did everything
the LORD had planned.
11By suffering, the servant
will learn the true meaning
of obeying the LORD.
Although he is innocent,
he will take the punishment
for the sins of others,
so that many of them
will no longer be guilty.
12The LORD will reward him
with honor and power
for sacrificing his life.
Others thought he was a sinner,
but he suffered for our sins
and asked God to forgive us.
I love it how my son can remind me, that God, who can tuck the universe into the palm of his hand & see an ant’s heart beat, calls me by name and loves me.
the thing i love about my CEV bible is that it makes it so personal. it makes God accessable. the language is so personal and relevant that in a way it breaks down walls and draws us closer to God. well for me it is that. i also read regularly from a NKJV which i love. but i love my CEV.
i read this the other night.
Isaiah 41:13 I am the Lord your God. I am holding your hand so dont be afraid. i am here to help you.
now isnt that amazing. wow. close. encouraging. strengthing. empowering. inspiring. loving. awesome.
