Deep Love
This verse has such a beautiful truth. Jesus lay down His life for us, His friends. Knowing that Jesus sees us as a friend is amazing. I feel so undeserving yet so grateful.
This morning I felt very burdened. There was a sadness surrounding me. I wasn't sure where it was coming from. I felt defeated. I got to work and I felt like a zombie. I sat in a meeting but wasn't really there. I went to my classroom and tried to do some work. It was as if I was on auto pilot. This gray cloud hung over me for most of the early morning.
Then we had chapel. Worshiping God is indescribably. It washes over me like nothing else. It put a pep back into my spirit. It was refreshing! We sang about trading my sorrows for the joy of the Lord. I felt that. Those sorrows that were following me I traded them in for God's great joy.
After chapel I began humming:
How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
This modern hymn touches all the points of God's great love. I felt His deep love pour over me. It was as if He wrapped me in His arms. God's deep love for us is more than any of us deserves, yet He offers it without strings. A marvelous gift. How deep His love for us that He lay down His life for us.
It's a joy to know and feel His deep love for me. I hope that you can experience His deep love daily.
