Today, I can honestly say that I see more of the multi-dimensional, multi-faceted love that Jesus has for me, my family, you, and the world. His love filters through the muck of everyday living because it is strong, complete, and perfect. Jesus’ love does not look like swiss cheese. There are no holes in His love; no void spaces. His love is solid, like a rock! The song, Solid, sung by Ashford & Simpson back in the 80’s, acknowledges a love that endures through anything and everything. They sang it to each other as husband and wife. But now when I hear it, it reminds me of the love Jesus has for me. I can imagine Him singing it to me. š
Everything that He’s done has been based on His love for you and me. Every bit of punishment inflicted on Him before and at the cross was because He did not want us to experience it. He took on every sickness and “condition” so that we wouldn’t have to endure any of them. Because He so deeply loved us (and still does), He left nothing undone and did everything perfectly as our substitute. His love still advocates for us in the Father’s presence.
Choose Jesus’ Love
No matter the circumstances that I find myself enduring, I’m determined to choose to look to Jesus’ love for me (Hebrews 12:2), to have confidence in it (1 John 5:14,15), to trust it (Psalm 13:5 NLT), and to believe that His love does not condemn me in any way (Romans 8:1).
I rest in the knowledge that JesusĀ is love. And His love for me has done EVERYTHING necessary for me to live life with good health, joy and peace.
What can you do to more fully engage yourself in His love for you?
