God's lavish love

God is love. For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to die for the world at the cross.

God loves us so much that mere words will never be enough to describe this marvelous love. The bible says God is love. He loves us more than we love ourselves. He is more than willing to come into our very dire situation to turn thing around for our good. He will continue to bless us inspite of our behaviour for it is Jesus' obedience that had completely satisfied God. He will bless us even if we were the ones that got ourselves into a pit.

In the story of the prodigal son, the father is constantly waiting for his second son to come home. The moment he saw his second son from afar, he immediately ran toward this son of his and hugged him and kissed him. Before the son can complete his rehearsed speech, the father commanded his servant to bring forth the best robe and put it on this son. He also commanded that a ring be put onto the son's finger and that sandals be put on the son's feets. He also commanded that a fatted calf be killed for the "homecoming" party.

The father didn't reprimand his second son for what he had done but was full of joy now that the son had come home. Our daddy God is also full of joy when a sinner is saved. The bible says that heaven rejoices over one sinner saved. Daddy God is always looking forward to the homecoming of sinners into His kingdom when they accept Jesus as Lord. Never doubt God's love in our lives for He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Hallelujah.
