| It got my attention and made me thankful for the verse that reminds us, “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). Divine love is very different than natural love, in that natural love looks for something lovable in its object, and to a great degree is dependent on a response from its object. However, divine love loves in spite of the object, and loves consistently, even when there is no response. None of us can say that we are unloved. If you feel that way any time during this week, just look up and remember His own words, “Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love” (Jeremiah 31:3). |
