For God so loved the world that he gave His only son (to die for our wretchedness) that whosoever believe in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Where else will you ever find a greater love than the love of God?
In spite of all the disgraceful and wicked things we have done and said; in spite of our disobedience, He still loves us. He loves us so much that in order to pay the debt for our sins against Him, He gave us the ransom (His only begotten son) and all He asks in return is that we love, trust and obey Him.
The Love of Jesus Christ
Jesus loves us so much that He "laid down His life for us". 1 John 3:16.
Jesus has been at your heart waiting on you to let Him in. He has been there since you first entered this world and has not left. Not even when the rainfalls or when there is a hailstorm. He is there through the hurricane and even the worst of your situations. He is standing right there.
He has been waiting on you with his arms wide open. Waiting like a loving Father, who awaits his child to return from school or a long vacation. No matter how rugged you are; how badly beaten you are, even if it seems like you were being devoured by a wild beast, He will not turn you away.
Jesus will welcome you, wrap you in His heart and comfort you. He will cleanse you, dress your wounds and clothe you in fine linen. He will make sure you are at peace, truly loved, protected, filled with joy and well taken care of.
Where can you find a friend that is willing to be mocked, stripped naked, disgraced, being crowned with a crown of thorns and beaten on the head? Where can you find a friend who is willing to be whipped beyond recognition and ever after being weakened from the loss of much blood is willing to carry the very cross he will be crucified on, to the place where he would die?
Where can you find a friend who is willing to lie down, being nailed to a cross and drink vinegar just for you?
Where can you find a friend who will go through hell or high waters for you, who will give up every single thing he owns just so you can live without guilt of anything?
Yet there is one who has been through it all and He is ever willing to be your friend.
What a LOVE. Even though you are the one who caused Him to be in that situation, He did not wish anything bad for you or wished it on you to be in that terrifying, horrible, painful situation.
Don't you think it is about time you accept him? Don't you feel it is time for you to open the door of your heart to let Him in? Don't you think it is time to run to and wrap yourself into his comforting and loving arms?
What are you afraid of?
Don't wait until it is too late; the time is now!
Don't reject our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, our friend who gave up his life for our redemption.
What a LOVE! What a JOY! Accept Him today!!
