Love. What is it? The dictionary says it is a "tender, passionate affection" or "Strong personal liking". I think this goes perfect with a lot of things I love. I have a strong personal liking of my friends. Why else would they be my friends? I have a passionate affection for my family, they mean the world to me. But that's just it.. This love it's all worldly love. We love our family yet half the time we treat them like dirt. We love our friends but the smallest thing can break that bond. We love our worldly possessions, but once a new gadget comes out our love lessens for the old. This worldly love is always changing.
God is the only one who loves us no matter what. He can fill the void in our heart that we try to fill with earthly love. Nothing compares to the love He has for us. We cannot even comprehend how great His love truly is, that's how powerful it is. He doesn't just love us when we are good, when we do good, or when we glorify Him. He loves us in our pain, tears, struggles, and sin. He Always loves us because His love is Eternal, not earthly. It is the love we crave but can never seem to find. He is the only one who can give us this Eternal love. Nothing else compares. The dictionary's definition of love and our definition of love does not even come close to God's definition of love.
Eternal love is in your reach.. so grab onto it by grabbing onto God.
God bless,
Rachael
