His Love Is Limitless!

"God waits for you to communicate with Him. You have instant, direct access to God. God loves mankind so much, and in a very special sense His children, that He has made Himself available to you at all times."  - Wesley L. Duewel

How complete or exhaustive is Jesus' love? There's no way that we could ever measure or define His love for us due the total immenseness of it (1 John 3:1). But, we can know that His love encompasses everything in and about our lives.

I realize that this might be difficult for some to believe given the state of our hateful, violent, and unfair world, but it's true, the Lord really does care about our every detail. After all, Matthew 10:30 ; Luke 12:7 tell us as much.

Just imagine for a moment what might happen to us if He didn't care about us at all. Like they say, "It could always be worse!" I tell you that the heart of Jesus truly cares about even the most insignificant thing going on in your life. Nothing is too trivial or commonplace for Him.

The heart of Christ is so big that there is not only room enough for all those who believe, but for all of our different and countless concerns, too.  I don't have to tell you what a blessing His love has been for us. Are we not the recipients of justification, adoption, sanctification, and eternal life, to mention a few awesome examples?

Sadly, for all that Jesus Christ has given us, we don't always acknowledge or appreciate it near enough. He certainly deserves more than a tepid or anemic response from us. We can spend hours a day on our social media accounts, but not even give a passing nod to Christ for all He has done.

Don't fall into the mindset that that's what going to church is for. Once a week, for roughly an hour and a half out of your busy schedule is okay, but hardly breaking news. What if we were to apply the same amount of time to our weekly phone usage, or television watching?

Many of us don't think about Him until our world is falling apart around us. Yet, even then, He is always there, never bailing out on us. The richness and goodness of Jesus Christ's love for us is incomprehensible. Don't you think He deserves just a little more from us in return?

Scripture: Romans 5:8; Jeremiah 31:3; 1 John 4:16; Ephesians 3:19; Psalm 103:11

Prayer: Dear Jesus, Your faithful love is better than life; Your goodness and loving kindness, I can never repay. May my love and faith for You grow stronger with each passing day, amen.

May God bless you!
