He First Loved Us

DAY 2 OF 3

God Gave His Best.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There are no words that can articulate how much God loves you. In fact, He loves you so much that God gave His Son. His only Son — Jesus Christ. God gave His very best. Love is not self-centered. Love gives. Love is selfless. Love grows. Love matures. 

‭‭1 John‬ ‭5:1-4‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”

Choose to obey Christ. Choose to obey His Word. Choose to follow His Commandments. When you receive Christ you are His. When you surrender to His way of doing things you are an overcomer. His love gives you victory. God loves you so much that He wants you to cast every concern, every care, every worry, every injustice over to Him. ‭‭

1 Peter‬ ‭5:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” God Loves you tremendously. Let God break that yoke of bondage from off of your heart. Don’t take on that weight. Let God lift that burden. Let God remove that struggle. Let His love remove that addiction. Let His love take away the sin, shame and torment of the past.

Isaiah‬ ‭10:27‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.” His love destroys yokes. The love of Christ breaks burdens. His love is greater than your problem. The love of Christ is greater than your shame. His love removes the past and brings you forward into His future.
