“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!”
Whether you know it or fully understand it, the truth is that God, the Creator of the universe, unconditionally loves you and me. Every day God lavishes his extravagant love upon us. God desires that each of us would be able to comprehend the enormity and vastness of his love towards us. That we would know the breadth and length, the height and depth, and the great magnitude of his amazing love towards us is the core foundation of our faith. To experience the love of a perfect Father who promises, as the amplified Bible puts it, that he “will never [under any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], nor will I forsake or let you down or relax My hold on you [assuredly not]!” Hebrews 13:5
I want you to know that these words are not empty promises. They are the truth. They’re an expression of a Father God who loves and wants the best for his human creation. His love is the essence of His heart towards us; He longs that we may know and experience it in our lives. Listen to the prayer in Ephesians 3 about this,
“I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”
PRAY WITH ME
God,
I thank you that, daily, you lavish your love upon me and love me unconditionally. I am eternally grateful. Thank you for the truth of your word that you will never leave me or desert me. You promise that you will never let me down or relax your hold on me. May I rest in the knowledge that you are the perfect Father who has my best interests at heart. Help me to know and understand the great magnitude of your love. Thank you that I can rest assured that you are my Father and my future is safe in your hands.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
