All in God’s Love

Who are we that God would care for us, and love us so? Given how small and insignificant we are in comparison to our Lord, the creator of all things, what is it that he sees in us? Are we simply a creation that He has taken a liking to, or is there more to us, and a deeper origin of His love? Does He love us just because He can’t do otherwise? No, looking at the detail in His creation it is hard to fathom that He does anything without great purpose and forethought… so why? This is a great mystery, and a question David asked long ago in Psalm 8; a question that we continue to ask ourselves today.

God loves us, and if we believe this completely, and abide in His love, then God will abide in us. We all want to be loved, but are we loving God, Jesus, and all those around us as we should? Are we loving our families, friends, neighbors, and even our enemies? Love is not to be confused with tolerance. God doesn’t tolerate us when we don’t know Him, not in our disbelief, or while we are yet sinners, no, he loves us in spite of it, and deals with us lovingly regarding our lack of relationship with Him, and our sinful nature. This is how we should love others, by loving them just as God loves us, striving to know their hearts, and repairing our distant or broken relationships with them by speaking God, and Jesus Christ into their lives.
