"DEVOTIONAL"


Human love is convenient. It suits the needs of the person at the time and works into his schedule. Gods love is eternal. You are always on His itinerary. Human love is emotional. Hormones, sleeplessness, worry, past hurts, Mexican food all complicate these emotions.

Gods love is committed. While God has feelings for us, His feelings do not dictate His love. His love is based on a decision to love us. Your actions do not increase or decrease His commitment. In fact, if you never love God, He will still love you.

One thing human love has going for it is you can see it. Gods love is just as real but not quite as tangible. We will see it, in time and for eternity, as we gaze into the face of God and His Son, Jesus Christ, while we stand in the presence of God in Heaven! And, oh, what a day that will be.
