WHY DEVO
LYRIC EXCERPT:
Why
You love me like You love me
I’ll never know
Even when I turn my back
You love me
Even when I curse Your name
You love me
And even when I broke your heart
You love me
Your love doesn’t look anything like it does in Hollywood
You don’t walk out when it’s over
That’s when I need you the most
I’ll never know
If a child asked you what “grace” meant, you’d probably have a tough time describing it. It’s a concept that can be difficult to understand. Grace is the act of being merciful to someone without the expectation that they can or will return the favor. God’s unconditional love is similar to grace and can be just as difficult to comprehend.
When we make a kind gesture or give someone a gift, we often look for something in return, whether it’s hearing a simple “thank you” or looking for a favor in the future.
This is why the gift of God’s love is sometimes hard for us to accept. We know we don’t deserve it, and we also know repaying Him is impossible.
God doesn’t love the way we do. We won’t see Him testing the waters out before He shows us how much He loves us, and we definitely won’t see Him pull away when He notices our love for Him is shifting.
But His love is more than an action –– it’s an example. He’s given us the blueprint for how we should love and treat others.
You’re probably familiar with this passage, but it still has powerful lessons to teach us about love:
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
God gave His Son to show us what real, sacrificial love looks like. It never runs out and it’s more than sufficient — it's our inheritance as His children. But it’s not just something that’s given to us; we’re called to share it with others.
What are some ways you could put that kind of love into practice today?

In Revelation, we see Jesus as the “Lion of the tribe of Judah” and the “Lamb who was slain.” So much of God’s kingdom embodies paradox; even Jesus Himself was sovereign AND He submitted to authority. He’s the beginning AND the end. He isn’t relegated to one or the other. Join us for this 14-day study as we learn about how God’s kingdom and character may surprise us.
