God loves you


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: GOD LOVES YOU

Psalm 103

THE DESCRIPTION OF GOD'S LOVE (vv. 8, 11, 13, 17)
How do you describe a rose to a blind person? How do you describe Handle's Hallelujah Chorus to a deaf person?
How do you describe the impeccable, infinite love of God to impure, finite humans?

One of the most vivid characteristics of God is that he is a God of love.

The Psalmist was descriptive in recording the love-nature of God. He stated that he was "full of faithful love" (Psalm 103:8), "For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His faithful love toward those who fear Him" (Psalm 103:11), "As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him" (Psalm 103:13), and "But from eternity to eternity the LORD's faithful love is toward those who fear Him" (Psalm 103:17).

THE DEFINITION OF GOD'S LOVE (v. 2)
The point is not simply that God "loves," but that he is love itself.
Love is not merely one of his attributes, but his very nature. The Scripture say, "And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him" (1 John 4:16).

To say that God is love, means that God wants the very best for you. God has your best interest in mind. He wants to give you good gifts and provide you with "all his benefits" (Psalm 103:2, NIV).

LET US PRAY
TODAY, GOD'S LOVE WILL BE SEEN IN YOUR LIFE IN JESUS NAME. AMEN
