Love

So this morning I read again the Mike Donehey devotional and it was on the song Times. And the message was about that you’ll never be changed by the love of God until you’re completely honest with yourself and how undeserving you are of it. His love is underneath, higher than the heights of our purity, and lower than the depth of our depravity and not one of us is without our need of Him.

What is God’s Love to you?

How are you not being completely honest with yourself?

Do you truly believe that you’re undeserving of God’s love and that through His awesome Grace we are made perfect?

Do you honestly believe he loves you and how much?

All these questions are something we as Christians should know the answer to and ask themselves them every day. But I know that we all don’t know or remember on a day to day basis about the love of God. Our understanding of love is partial if that?
Yes you would die for a friend or a family member, but would you die for ones you hate? For the ones that hate you.
Because my friend did and is name is Jesus Christ. He not only suffered persecution but a huge amount of pain but He did that with the weight of the world’s sin on His shoulders and died while we still hated Him. How great is our God?! How great is His love, how wide, who deep, who great is your love for me?

Here are the words to the song Times by Tenth Avenue North enjoy.


i hear you say "my love is over,
its underneath, its inside, its in between
the times you doubt me, when you can't feel
the times that you've questioned 'is this for real?'
the times you've broken, the times that you mend
the times you hate me and the times that you bend
well my love is over, its underneath
its inside, its in between,
these times you're healing
and when your heart breaks
the times that you feel like you've fallen from grace
the times you're hurting
the times that you heal
the times you go hungry and *are tempted* to steal
in times of confusion and chaos and pain
im there in your sorrow under the weight of your shame
im there through your heartache
im there in the storm
my love i will keep you by my power alone
i dont care where you've fallen, where you have been
i'll never forsake you
my love never ends, it never ends
