Entry 129 - God is Love

11/22/19

God's love is unconditional. What that means is that God does not have favorites. He does not have conditions in which you must meet a certain number of requirements to have God love you. 

"Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right."
           - Acts 10:34‭-‬35 

It means that no matter who you are, where you're from, what you've done, God will always love you. He doesn't love you any less if you don't keep his commandments or have a cap on how much He can love you.

“The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’   “But the Father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
      - Luke 15:21‭-‬22 

He will always love you. God's love is not dependent on us, but rather on who He is. Just as God cannot lie, God cannot stop loving you, for He is Love itself. 

"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them."
       - 1 John 4:16 

However on our part, it is our responsibility if we want to accept that love and allow it to flow freely in and through our lives. God will not force us to experience and enter into His love. 

"This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live."
        - Deuteronomy 30:19 

He gives His love freely and like a river with flowing water, it is always turned on and flowing, but we have to decide to allow it to enter into our lives to be satisfied by it.

"Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb."
         - Revelation 22:1
