What Kind of Love is This?

As a child of the king, he has certain rights and responsibilities. He may not always live up to those responsibilities, but that does not take away his rights as a child of the king. He may disgrace himself and his king, but he is still a child of the king. If he is secure in this identity, when trouble comes, he knows the king will be there to rescue him, because he is a child of the king. The king may chastise him but he will also remind him of his future as a child of the king.

The king loves him, not what for he does, but for who he is. He is his child. When he does wrong, the king is grieved and when he does good, the king is pleased. But the reason the king loves him is because the prince belongs to the king and is his heir. He never stops loving him no matter how displeased he may be. But is ever so joyful when his son pleases him. But he loves him because he belongs to him.

Now realize that God is that king and you are that child.

God’s love is not dependent on our loving him.

Nothing we can do can make him love us more or love us less.

God loves us even when we don’t love him. That is his nature – LOVE.

~

We can please him or we can displease him

But he will still love us either way.

God loves us even when we displease him. That is his nature – LOVE.

~

His rules for us are not for him to feel better.

They are so we feel better.

When we follow his rules – our lives are blessed.

~

He does not Need us. We Need Him.

He wants us to love him – knowing that we can never love him the way he loves us.

For his love is a perfect love, while ours is only a reciprocating love.

~

When we share his word – it blesses the one hearing the word

And it blesses the one sharing the word.

He does not need us to share the word, but it blesses us for the sharing.

~

When we praise God – it pleases him, but it blesses us more.

For he has said in his word, that if we don’t do it, the rocks will.

Either we can be blessed or the rocks will.

~

I am not willing to let a rock get my blessing.

Praise the Lord God.

Praise the Lamb of God.

~

Thank you Jesus for volunteering to be the Lamb.

Thank you God for giving the Lamb.

Thank you both for being will to shed the blood of the Lamb.

~

Jesus suffered for being the Lamb.

God suffered while giving the Lamb.

We are blessed and saved by the blood of the Lamb.

~

Praise God, Praise the Lamb.

Praise Jesus the Lamb of God.

Thank you Jesus for being my Savior.
