God's love for me is far beyond what the human mind can comprehend. Many people don't seem to understand the magnitude of God's love for them. Many view God as being distance and so far away that He is not in touch to the feelings of man. People sometimes can't seem to embrace this love that God has for us, because its too hard for us to understand. What is love? Many, say love is just a feeling that you feel, some say its butterflies in the stomach kinda feeling. Love is God, God is love.
I was reading the book of Jeremiah, and I was so overwhelmed by the magnitude of God's love for his people. Although Israel was considered an unfaithful wife, God in all His compassion and unending love still had love for the fallen nation. Israel began to worship idols, and to God this was the worst sin they could have ever committed, their worship of idols was being compared to a wife being unfaithful to her husband, God is like a husband to us and we in turn is His most precious bride.When we move away from God and embrace and love other things that draw us from the presence and fellowship of God.Then we create idols before God, its like a wife who dishonours her husband by breaking her marriage covenant by indulging in sexual relations with another man. With God, its the same!
We are seen as prostitutes, selling our bodies and lowering our moral standards just to satisfy our fleshly desires. God desires all of us, or bodies, our minds and our soul. We completely belong to God. God is not a distant figure that man cannot relate to but a God who desires fellowship and communion with His people. Lets not grieve God and pull ourselves away from His loving arms. Whatever we have done or where we have been God still has open arms waiting for you to run into them ,God is love so lets love Him back.
