Rescued by Love

God is on a rescue mission. We could never jump high enough or perform well enough to save ourselves, so Love came down to rescue us. He made a way where there was otherwise no way to secure our eternity, no way to begin the miracle work of inner transformation within us. If you are in Christ, Christ is in you: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

God is profoundly committed to us. We’re prone to wander. He is utterly faithful to His promises; we tend to forget those promises. His mercies are new every morning and His compassions never fail. We’re the ones who turn on ourselves. God sees the big picture while noticing every nuance of our story. Yet in it all, Jesus beckons us to follow Him and in the process, we become more like Him.

Jesus came to destroy the work of the devil. When we’re perfected in love, fear no longer has the last say in our lives. When we remember who we are, the enemy doesn’t get away with as much as he used to. The whole arc of Scripture is God’s love letter to the ones He created. Everything He does, He does for love. Everything He asks of us is for our good and for His glory. I want everything He has for me. Don’t you?

God wants us to prevail—to prove we’re more powerful than our enemy. He wants us to overcome every battle with increasing courage and strength. "He gives strength to the weary. . .  those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:29, 31). 

I’ve learned that whenever I ask for more from God, He asks for more from me.

As you align your life—every part of it—with His Word and His ways, you will find freedom, wholeness, and redemption you never dreamed possible. I’m praying for you as you work your way through each day. Let’s discover the opportunities to know God's Word, experience His presence, hear His voice, and do what He says so that we may finish our race faithfully and joyfully.

Father, show me the gap that exists between what I do and what I truly believe, and then fill in those empty spaces with more of You. Awaken my heart, and I will engage my faith. In Jesus name. Amen.
