this past week in my devotions i was reading in Jonah 3&4. the overall subject was "God loves People", and that is most definitely what i learned! I mean, we all know that "Jesus loves me", but this kind of love, one that gives and gives when we deserve nothing at all, is completely incomprehensible...
the ninevites were horrible people....they stole, lied, murdered and committed sins we would find utterly disgusting and terrible.
but God loved them anyway.
doesn't that amaze you? that one can sin and sin over and over and over again, but as long as he is God's child, God will never, ever stop forgiving! i mean, i think about myself then....the way there are so many things that overtake what i could do for God, but go and do something else instead. over and over.
but God loves me anyway.
His love is so much, that He gave His Son, His only Son, to come down to this wicked earth and be condemned and tormented to death, so we could live. it's overwhelming! He gave His life, yet we refuse to give Him the smallest things. friends...music...purity...books. so much that could be given to Him, our lives!! but we tend not to, because we are human, and selfish.
but God loves you anyway.
i, myself, cannot understand just why, other than the fact that...Jesus loves me....

His unconditional love amazes me too! It is so worth giving up all those things to serve a just and loving God who gave up His home in Heaven to die for us! Lynn, allow God to use you, the world has nothing over Him!
