Daily Devotion - The Magnitude of God's Love

For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life -John 3:16

The magnitude of God's love is way above our capacity to fathom. God loves us so much. A songwriter puts it like this, "If the entire sky was parchment and the oceans ink, were every stalk on earth a quill; to write the love of God across the sky we would run out of space or the oceans would run dry"  (paraphrased).

God loves us even while we were disobedient, rebellious, wretched and in some instances, wicked. God demonstrates His love toward us in that while we were still sinners Jesus died for us (Rom.5:8).

Then when we accept Him, see what an incredible quality of love He shows us that we should be permitted to be named and called and counted His children (1 John 3:1), then He makes us equivalent in position with Jesus, being joint heirs with Him (Rom. 8:17).

Prayer: Lord thank You for Your indescribable love. AMEN!

Encourage: With the rewards from accepting Jesus as your Savior and Lord, noone can make you feel inferior without your consent. You are a child of a King. His royal blood flows through your veins and His love for you far exceeds any estimate, thought or imagination.
