YOU
LOVE ME BECAUSE I FIRST LOVED YOU. The truth is that you were dead in
your sins--completely unable to love Me--until My Spirit worked in the
depths of your being to make you spiritually alive. This enabled you to
repent of your sinfulness and receive not only eternal Life but also
everlasting Love. As you ponder this miraculous gift of salvation, let
gratitude rise up within you and fill you with Joy.
Thankfulness
is so very important for your growth in grace. It opens your heart and
mind to My Word, enabling you to increase in wisdom and understanding. A
thankful attitude helps you discover the myriad blessings I shower upon
you--even in the midst of hard times. A grateful heart protects you
from discouragement and self-pity. I heightens your awareness of My
continual Presence and helps you grasp more fully the vast dimensions of
My Love for you. So nurture well your thankfulness, beloved. Your
gratitude will nourish your love for Me--making it grow bright and
strong!
We love Him because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19 (NKJV)
As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins. Ephesians 2:1
I
pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power
through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your
hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established
in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to
grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the Love of Christ.
Ephesians 3:16-18
