Prayer: Lord please reveal to me more deeply the love you have for me. I can never thank you enough for your grace and your mercy which you have poured out to your children. Lord help me to show others your goodness and love in my life. In your holy name. Amen.
Verse of the Day: "The LORD is merciful He is kind and patient, and his love never fails." Psalm 103:8(CEV)
Worship Song of the Day: Father of Lights by John Barnett
Good morning friends. It is day two of the Core series devotionals and today is all about God's love and goodness. Well there is obviously a lot that can be said about how great our God is. The bible is full of references to his love and patience. One of the things we can struggle with sometimes, or at least I can, is the depth of God's love. While I know in my heart that he sent Jesus to die for me so that I could have eternal life, I sometimes don't understand the true depth of his love for me. When the bible says that nothing can separate us from the Love of God in Christ Jesus that is a powerful statement. It means that no batter how bad I screw up(believe me I screw up plenty bad), I can never lose God's love. That is an amazing feeling to know that despite my flesh which gets in the way I know I always have God to help me and pick me up.
Song's about God's love are also all over the place in Worship. You would be hard pressed to find a worship song that doesn't mention God's love. The one I chose for today's worship song is a personal favorite of mine from a few years back. Father of Lights is a simple worship song which reminds us that every good and perfect gift comes from God. God delights in us, his children. That's right the God of heaven ,that created all things, delights in you. That is the depth of his love. That he would delight in the things I do even though they aren't hugely kingdom moving things, is beyond my grasp of understanding. I mean, who am I that God would think of me?
Take some time today to ponder God's love and the depths of his goodness. Also ask God to reveal to you how you can better share that love with others in your life. Keep on reading and I will talk to you all tomorrow. Until then blessings and praise to the God of love Jesus Christ.
In Christ,
Brian
