God's love is foreign. It's something that is somewhat... unfathomable. We're used to people loving us in the best way they know how. God, however, takes this to a WHOLE new level. He is Love. (1John4:16). His love is unfailing, and never ending. Receiving God's love was one of the most difficult things for me to do. I understood that he loved me, i knew he died for me, and that i was supposed to have a "relationship" with Jesus. I never comprehended the actual relationship part though. The relationships I had been in were temporary and they were conditional. Friends were around when you did what they wanted, family was pleased based on behavior, teachers were proud of the effort you put in, they were all based on what I had done. With Jesus, none of that was true. He loved me despite every mistake I had ever made. He looked past my failures, triumphs, and exterior into my heart. Even when that wasn't pure, he loved me. He wanted me around, he wanted to hear my voice, and he wanted to spend time with me. He wants you today, tomorrow, and forever. It's impossible for ANYTHING to match the desire that Jesus has for YOU. Passionate, loving, intense desire. You were made for him. Love him, and let him love you. No matter where you've come from, no matter what you've done, he still wants you with all of his being. Open your eyes and see all that he does to show you his love. You'll be AMAZED.
Unfailing love
