I seem to talk about love quite frequently. I guess it is because we all need to hear more about it with all the hate going on in the world today. It seems to me that we have lost our focus and are content to point our fingers at one another, build higher walls of separation, find new names to label each other with, and look down on everyone else that disagrees with us.
Jesus commands us to love one another and we just do not seem to grasp that concept. There are different types and depths of love, but wouldn't it be great if we simply loved our neighbor as much as we love ourselves? Think about how world-changing that would be!
The one constant in this world is God's love for us. It is endless and unchanging. Nothing we could ever do will change it. There will always be consequences from our choices and actions but there is nothing that will change his love for us. That is the most comforting thing in the world to me. God has an endless inseparable love for me! Wow, if I could just pay that forward!
Romans 8:35 (TPT) - "Who could ever separate us from the endless love of God's Anointed One? Absolutely no one! For nothing in the universe has the power to diminish his love toward us. Troubles, pressures, and problems are unable to come between us and heaven's love. What about persecutions, deprivations, dangers, and death threats? No, for they are all impotent to hinder omnipotent love."
