Day 3 - Week 7 - Romans 5:8 - "But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us."

I think I've just been humbled...I had just completed today's post on the undeserved nature of God's love for us and how He, in His design, requires us to humble ourselves to see that we have nothing to offer Him in return for His love for us, when the post disappeared into never never land!  You'll just have to trust that I thought it had some very good points, but maybe that's the point!  Maybe nothing more needs to be said then...God's love for us is HIS love for us...nothing about us merits it or prompts it.  Abide in that tonight...and maybe tomorrow night I will reclaim all the thoughts that I had written tonight and was so ready to share with you. 

Thank You God for all your reminders to us that YOU alone are in control, and YOU alone are the One who holds everything in the palm of Your hand.  Bless us as we rest in You.

We don't merit or prompt God's love, but God delights in us when we do good. There are the rituals we go through, such as Baptism, to announce to the world when we accept Chist as our Saviour. But God Loves us not because of anything we do or who we are - but only because he Loves everyone not because we want him to but because he wants to. He wants to love and protect us from evil. God is in control of my life, He Loves me and I pray that I do not disappoint him. He will continue to love me each day of my life, even those days when I drift away from His Word.
