You Need a Great Lover

For God so loved the world that He gave….

But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.      John 3:16,21

It takes a lot of love to save you so He sent the Greatest Lover the world has ever seen.  He sent this Jesus to you.  Yes, you!  Because He wanted you to know what He thought of you.  Don’t fear or worry anymore beloved.  The King is enthralled with you (Psalm 45:11).  Come, come into the light of His Presence and watch what the Lord of Glory is going to do in you.  His power will transform you from a coward to a lion, from a harlot to a bride, from a failure to a success.  Remember this salvation business wasn’t your idea, but His.  You didn’t find Jesus, He found you! (Luke 15:1-7).   Quit looking at yourself!  Look at Jesus and His power to turn you into His bride.  If the King of Creation has enough faith for you that He drew you into His kingdom, surely you can trust this All-Knowing Savior to finish the work He’s begun.

Dear Father, we are so thankful that You sent Your Beloved Son to pay the redemption price to free us from the prison wrought by our rebellion and self-reliance.  Thank you that You not only freed use from our just desserts, but enable us to taste Your Presence, Your Love, Your Heavenly Abode.  Oh, how we love You!  You are our delight!  By Your power and grace, may we turn away from looking at our own failure and lack.  May we see Your sufficiency.  Enable us to enter into Your Light so that it may be seen plainly that what we have done has been done through You.  Make our lives a bold and loud boasting in what Jesus Christ can and will do for those who choose to throw themselves head long into His arms. Amen.
