Thought for Today: “The Gift of Our Father’s Love”

In our series on Unprecedented Love, I’d like to take today’s thought and examine the love of our Heavenly Father.

Our Heavenly Father absolutely loves us. They say that if God had a refrigerator, our picture would be on it. Or if God had a wallet, our photo would be in it. Think about it this way. In this great big universe with its multiple dimensions, God could live anywhere, yet He desires to reside in our hearts.

God created us for a loving relationship with Him. His desire is to be with us, to walk, talk, and know us, and to be known by us on an intimate basis every day.

The only problem is that our sin separates us from this relationship. But because of God’s great gift of love, we can enter into an intimate relationship with Him.

“God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

So today, let’s remember this wonderful gift of our Heavenly Father’s unconditional love.
