The Love You Don't Deserve

Hey readers, thanks for making it to reading this article too. I'm glad you are doing so now.

I remember defining what love really means in my last Article. If you haven't read it yet, I bet you should. Click here You would love it.

Now, as we all know love is the greatest, God's love, is the surest.

It never fails.

God's love isn't just undying, but reassuring, and real. God, as the creator of the universe, had to love a man in order to create him in his own image.

Who does that?

We as humans, often find it difficult to even do an artwork for a friend exactly, but here, God didn't even think twice before loving us so much to create us in his image and likeness.

This type of love is called AGAPE. Which means God's kind of love.

And it supersedes every other kind of love.

And you know why this is so?

I will tell you.

God's love, just like every other type of love, has principles, but once these principles guarding the love is altered., That's likely to be the end of the love. There principles could be trust issues, lieing to your partners, and other Relationship problems too.

But you see, God's love isn't that way. Even after we sin, after we do what displeases the father, he still tampers justice with mercy and forgives us.

What a love!!

In reality, we often hurt God than we do to our partners or friends, but the limit of tolerance our human partners have, can in no way be compared to that of the Father's (God).

This is why we should always be intentional about our service to God.

No one loves exactly like God. God in his infinite mercy and love, showers us, not just with life, but Air, water, trees, gives us strength to work, gives us the strength to move about and earn a living too. He gives us the freedom of choice, he protects us. And to crown it all, he enables us to love too.

Why then should we not reciprocate this undying love God has for us, back to him?

Or you think God doesn't need our love, or he doesn't feel loved when we show him, love.

Smile...

We are the very image of God, and on that note, if we have feelings, God has too. If we can love, God can love, and that he does even more. if we could love another human and except love from them too., God, when he loves us unconditionally, he excepts the same from us too.

So why deprive him of that!

God doesn't eat our food or money, that we can consider giving him wealth. Of cause, all wealth comes from him by the way.

He gives us so much, and yet, requires so little from us, compared to what he gives and makes available to us.

All God requires from us, is intentional service to him, and him alone.

✓He requires our obedience to his works, commandments, and laws.

✓He requires our praise.

✓He requires our worship

✓He requires us to embrace the ability to love, which he has deposited in us, and love others.

✓He requires us to be kind to our brethren. In Christ and outside Christ too. Because it is only love and kindness that can change someone's strong believe about something. And same applies to Christianity.

✓He requires us to have the mind of Christ, and avoid sin. To avoid all that displeases him.

All the above listed, are ways of showing God we actually love him.

Easy right?

Yes, it is to an extent, but there are so many we are able to do as a common man or individual. That is why we have the holy spirit to help us love God and love others too.

Due to the nature of God's undying love, we humans are most times advised loving like God. Because God forgives.

We can't count how many times and we have aired against him Knowingly, not to talk of those we did unknowingly. But yet, in all his mercifulness, he never slays us. Thank God for Jesus, that keeps interceding.

We sin against God almost every time, but yet, he saves us from accidents planned as we go out. He brings us home safely.

Armed robbers would Rob an estate we live in, and yet our house remained untouched. That wasn't you. It wansnt even necessarily BECAUSE you know how to pray., It was the love of God that preserved you. Without that love, even your prayers and supplications wouldn't be answered.

Or is it how he gives us the free breath of life?

No matter how rich you are, if you were to live on oxygen, which costs millions per hour, you would not be able to live for a maximum of 6months., Or a year.

But yet, all these we got free of charge, and we seem not to know the value of it.

Apostle Paul said, "should we continue sinning because grace abounds? God forbid".

The fact the love of God is unconditional, it shouldn't be enough reason for you to misbehave and do so many ungodly things.

We all claim to love God, by our mouths, and our hearts and actions are saying entirely different things.

No matter you profess love for God, if you aren't doing what he so requires of us, such as which I wrote above, you are only deceiving yourself and not God., Because, GOD CANNOT BE MOCKED!

it's not enough to keep saying you love God friends., The big question is, are you doing what shows you love him?

I bet, you wouldn't want to sit back and watch GOD love only you, without you loving him too.

His arms are open right now to receive you, and every love you have to give him.

Please don't deprive him of that., Don't!

Check yourselves today., Let's keep doing things to love God just the way he loves us unconditionally

Happy Sunday Friends, and thanks for reading this article. I'm glad it blessed you in some way.

Love and light!
