"Surely I am with you always."-Matthew 28:20
Each day I am in awe of how God loves me. With a pure, steadfast, faithful love. He pours it on me even when I am unaware. He holds me together, even when I continually sin against Him. He is always patient with me, teaching me the same lessons over and over again. When I am down, He lifts me up, when I rejoice He is dancing with me! His embrace is enough.
" 'Surely I am with you always,' is enough for my soul to live on, no matter who else forsakes me. " - Charles H. Spurgeon
" love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on it's own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
We need to love others this way, for this is the love Christ loves us with, the selfless love. The love that placed Him on the cross. Let us shower others today with love, a selfless love that looks over the sins of others and forgives.
I know that this is a challenge, I am afraid to walk out the door knowing my love will be tested. But if I want to be like my heavenly Father, I know I need to walk out this road that will bring me daily to my knees, asking for the strength and patience so I may love others the way He has loved me.
