For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16

Over two thousand years ago, Love came down. While the world was bound in sin and struggle and striving, Love came down. While every other religion seeks God, God came down seeking us! All other religions are about being good enough, doing enough good things, and following the right rules. If they do it right, somehow a distant God they don’t even know will take notice. But Christianity is this: Love, Jesus Himself, came down to show us Himself, to show us LOVE! Not rules, not hoops to jump through, not being good enough or pure enough or anything enough. LOVE came down and MADE us enough! 

No matter who you are or what you have done or what you own or where you live, Jesus knows you, He sees you, and He loves you! Let this truth settle deep in your soul…

GOD (Love’s original source) SO LOVED (Love’s infinite measure) THE WORLD (Love’s unworthy recipients) THAT HE GAVE (Love’s greatest act) HIS ONE AND ONLY SON (Love’s greatest gift) THAT WHOEVER (Love’s greatest opportunity) BELIEVES (Love’s greatest simplicity) IN HIM (Love’s greatest desire) SHALL NOT PERISH (Love’s unfailing promise) BUT (Love’s greatest difference) HAVE (Love’s greatest certainty) ETERNAL LIFE! (Love’s greatest possession) Amen and amen! 

Jesus loves, Jesus gave, you believe, you live! Period! What is your response to that truth? When you say “Yes” to Jesus’ free gift, you now have a mission—a purpose you didn’t have before. Because just holding all that love in is impossible. Love opens your eyes, love opens your heart, and love opens your arms. Love pours out of you because of all that has been poured in! Love overflows! Catch it and share it! You are loved!!
