The love of G_d. Never ending. Unstoppable.
Without Measure.
So like, “Absolutely, Really Super-Mega-Ultra Awesome Love” comes up just pitiful in comparison to Him. Here’s the point: There is no comparison. When we speak of Him, we speak of Love Itself, and not any one person that merely possesses or projects love as a tool of goodness.
G_d does not love as though He is wielding some weapon, however good. He moves towards us as Himself – as Love Itself. Get this beloved: He does not love us with something, His Being IS Love. He is not just “in love” with us. We are indeed IN His Love.
No really. Get this.
Romans 8:37-39 says:
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
For I am sure that
neither death
nor life,
nor angels
nor rulers,
nor things present
nor things to come,
nor powers,
nor height
nor depth,
nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Can we see it? G_d does NOT just build some “fence” around us with love to keep out the bad stuff, and keep us side-by-side with Him. His Presence in a believer’s life makes stuff like death, spiritual powers, circumstances, pain, worry, anxiety, physical obstacles or anything else IRRELEVANT to His Love. We are in Him. for “In him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28). We are not wrapped in His Love, rather as believers we are dissolved in it.
Let’s simplify: It is really hard to take the sugar out of your tea after it is stirred in. Impossible.
So, everything we face in life is not-ever alone any more. We are infused with the Love that spoke the worlds into existence, the consuming Fire Himself, the LORD of both wonderful and terrible aspect. He is G_d and He is really good at being Who He Is…
And we get worried when we lose our jobs, families, freedom, homes, health, cars, money, and reputation? Are you kidding me? We are simply drowning in the delicious ocean of His Love and we worry. Could we just stop? No really, just stop. Give in to His wonderfulness and enjoy it for a minute. We might just find it amazing.
You might wonder how one could say such things. Well, i know a man, who in the past year, has lost all the items mentioned above… yeah, it’s true. Yet, by G_d’s Grace, he has gained a fuller appreciation of G_d’s Love through yielding his life totally to Him. And i can’t explain it reader, but this has been absolutely – without comparison – the BEST time of my life. Really. HE is that Good.
- For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us (Romans 8:18).
Still holding back? Hey, give in, give up, and let G_d tsunami you with His Love today!

One Thing Remains – Jesus Culture, 2010
Higher than the mountains that I face
Stronger than the power of the grave
Constant through the trial and the change
One thing remains
One thing remains
Your love never fails
it never gives up it never runs out on me
On and on and on and on it goes
It overwhelms and satisfies my soul
And I never ever have to be afraid
One thing remains
In death and in life I’m confident and
covered by the power of your great love
My debt is paid there’s nothing
that can separate my heart from your great love
