Today I was writing someone with love. The overwhelming love of God overtook me.
I wrote, “I don’t know why God loves me so much, why HE blesses me so much”. Then I paused. I said to myself, that is not true.
I know exactly, why God loves me and I know why blessings follow me every moment.
I know why. So I had to go back and edit those words.
I know why.
Because of JESUS.
We could have left the writing as it is, that is not a major deal. But that would have been a lie and words of unbelief.
God loves each of us the same way in CHRIST. Deeply and I pray that our eyes be open to the length, breadth, and depth of HIS love.
As I was writing this I caught something.
I was searching for a word opposite of faith.
For belief, we can say unbelief.
But for faith, we don’t have an opposite word.
We can only say no faith.
It is either faith or no faith.
Either by faith or not at all. Gospel is that. Not by works by faith. Freely given.
