When we look at the world around us, sometimes it's difficult to understand the unfairness of life.
It's not fair that the young should suffer. It's not fair that the innocent should go hungry.
But nor is it fair that a God would have to come to earth and hang on His own cross to protect us from the evil one. It's not fair....but that is love.
And that's God. God's love for you is not dependent on how you look, how you think, how you act, or how perfect you are. His love is absolutely nonnegotiable and nonreturnable. Ours is a faithful God.
No matter what you do, no matter how far you fall, no matter how ugly you become, God has a relentless, undying, unfathomable, unquenchable love from which you cannot be separated. Ever!
Run to Jesus. Jesus wants you to go to Him. He wants to become the most important person in your life, the greatest love you'll ever know. He wants you to love Him so much that there's no room in your heart and in your life for sin. Invite Him to take up residence in your heart.
Prayer: Father, We look at your plan and it's all based on love, not on our performance, and we pray that You'd help us to understand that. To be captivated by Your love. To be overwhelmed by Your Grace. To come home to You in that beautiful path that You've already carved out for us.
