I hope everyone had an amazing day with their families, friends, and loved ones. Love & friendship shouldn't have a day to be celebrated, but should be practiced every single moment of our lives. God has called all of us to love one another in the same way that we love ourselves...
Let's never forget that the greatest love of all is the love that God has given us. He loves us so much that you and I are here this very moment, even though we don't deserve it. Even though many of us have turned our backs on God, he has stood at our side at all times. That right there is true love. That even though we are ungrateful sometimes, he sent his son to die for us in the cross for our sins. Sins that we committed and we should pay the price for, not Him.
To remind us of that ultimate love, here are the lyrics to "Love Song" by Third Day... This song explains this concept of God's love better than I ever could.
I've heard it said that a man would climb a mountain
Just to be with the one he loves
How many times has he broken that promise
It has never been done.
I've never climbed the highest mountain,
But I walked the hill of Calvary
Just to be with you, I will do anything
There's no price I would not pay no
Just to be with you, I would give everything
I would give my life away
I've heard it said that a man would swim the ocean
Just to be with the one he loves
All of those dreams are an empty motion
It can never be done
I've never swam the deepest ocean,
But I walked upon the raging sea
Just to be with you, I will do anything
There's no price I would not pay
Just to be with you, I would give everything
I would give my life away
I know that you don't understand
the fullness of My love
How I died upon the cross for your sins
And I know that you don't realize
how much that I give you
But I promise, I would do it all again
Just to be with you, I've done everything
There's no price I did not pay
Just to be with you, I gave everything
Yes, I gave my life away
Just to be with you
To God, you are worth all this and more <3
And now after knowing all this, really think about that phrase that people tend to say all the time... "Jesus loves you"...
