. . . nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Messiah Yeshua our Lord. Romans 8:39, TLV
His Love is Everywhere. Nothing can separate us from the love of God, not even us. His love is enduring — really, it has to be, to deal with fallen humanity.
Why He gave us the greatest gift of in the universe when we’re such a mess is beyond my understanding. If I was giving someone a fantastic, one-of-a-kind gift, I would at least want them to pay attention to it.
Allowing His Son to step into the role of a sacrificial lamb? Would I do that? Ask my only child to sacrifice themselves to help others who could care less about me? I couldn’t.
Because of His love — before we loved Him — our life should be lived in deep gratitude. Living in deep gratitude means that whatever good or bad things come into our life, we know that what our Heavenly Father did through His Son is all the blessing we could ever need. Yet, He continues to give us blessings.
This morning when we woke up, did we thank Him? When we paid a utility bill, did we thank Him? A beautiful day, did we thank Him?
There was a sweet song our daughter sang in Sunday School. The chorus goes:
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your blessings, see what God hath done;
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.
Count Your Blessings, hymn by Johnson Oatman
There are so many little blessings around us that remind us of the greater blessings of His love and how that love redeemed us for eternity. Look around. His love is everywhere.
