Supernatural Power For Everyday PeopleSample

The love of God is the most precious thing any person could ever know. It will sustain you like nothing else can and when nothing else will. It will encourage you through the darkest moments of your life. The love of God was put on you, child of God, before the world was even created, and it will carry you through your dying day and into the blissful joy of eternal reunion with the very source of love himself.

“God is love,” wrote the apostle John (1 John 4:8). In the Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit share an abounding love for each other that has overflowed and spilled into the bounds of creation, bringing even sinners like us to taste the goodness of God’s divine nature.

The love of God, the psalmist said, is better than your next breath (Ps. 63:3), and so when all else gives way, whether you die young or old, when your eyes close each time in anguished prayer or for the final time, and your lungs give their final whisper, and your heart gives its last beat, the love of God will still be there, never stopping, never ending, lifting you up to glory. And on the day of resurrection, when you enjoy the fullness of creation in a restored earth, it will be love that empowers you and all the redeemed creation, and it will be the love of God that drives our worship of Jesus forever.

When you’re tempted to think God has reached his limit with you, the Spirit reminds you, “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end” (Lam. 3:22). When you feel as though God has abandoned you, the Spirit reminds you, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit” (Ps. 34:18). . . .

We could go on and on because the gospel goes on and on. And the Holy Spirit sent by Christ to comfort us will go on and on to apply it to our hearts in the pain of our darkest days. And when our darkest days are no more, we will go on and on, celebrating the gospel with him for all eternity.
