Indescribable LoveSmakprov

When we begin to look at love, our starting place must be with God. God is the source of love. Our Father in heaven is the origin of life and love itself, not just because He created love, but because He is love! We were created by perfect love. 

God’s love toward us can seem indescribable or even too good to be true. The Word tells us in John 15:9 that Jesus loves us in the same way His Father loves Him. Our problem, however, can be that human language and understanding cannot come close to conveying the height, depth, length, or breadth of God’s love for Jesus or Jesus' love for us! This kind of perfect love can be hard for us to comprehend - in fact, Paul describes it as “love that surpasses our knowledge” (Ephesians 3:19).

So how do we begin to experience a fresh outpouring of His love? I feel compelled to encourage us all to lean into God Himself more. The greatest way to know His love is to know God better. This is not cliché – this is the truth. Sitting with Father does us good. Spending time in God’s presence is life and love to us. The more we see Him, the more we become like Him. 

There is no substitute for being with God. Today, perfect love – God Himself – invites you deeper into who He is. Will you accept love’s invitation? 

Prayer:

Father, give me a revelation of Your indescribable love for me. Thank You that You are the source of love and that You created me in perfect love!
