A few weeks ago, I heard this Lovesong - it got stucked in my brain immediately.
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh oh...
(John Legend - All of me)This song reminded me of the most famous bib levers in the bible (John 3,16)
This could be a song that God sings to me...because basically what he says in this song is the same like in the biblevers:
John 3,16 - 18
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
He loves us.
He loves us even though we dont deserve his love and are imperfect.
Through the loss of his Sons, Jesus Christ life he gave us victory over death and eternal life.
How crazy isn't that?
He loves us so much and is so crazy about us, that he gave his son to die for us, to give us eternal life.
Even though we did and still do so many stupid things in life and we would never ever reach the standard of God - perfection, a holy God!
Psalm 103 10-12
He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
Romans 5, 8 - 9
but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God
I once heard a preacher compare God with a Groupie.
First I thought this is a pretty stupid thought, but when i looked up the word I found out that this is actually a really good expression of God. I will explain you why...
A groupie is the biggest fans of fans ...
He does everything to express his love for his idol. He goes to all the concerts and prints t-shirts, makes signs, gets a tattoo with their picture or name, knows all the songs, gives everything to be on the front row at the concerts, knows everything about them...
To say it shortly.... they are CRAZY about their Idols.
Have you ever seen a Justin Bieber fan?
A groupie is a person whose devotion to a person (usually a celebrity, especially a rock and roll star) approaches the level of fanaticism. (Urban Dictionary)
This is actually how God is about YOU!
He is really crazy about you, he is your biggest fan, he adores you so much that he gave his most precious, his everything, his dearest son Jesus Christ. He gave him to you, so that he could take all the mistakes you have done in your life on himself and die for it in your place. And why? So that you could come to God. Because he so badly wanted to be with you, because he loves you like crazy. And he did everything to be together with YOU.
In the bible God describes himself as LOVE!
1.John 4,8 - 12
Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
There is also a very famous chapter in the bible, the one we call the chapter of Love! (1.Cor 13 4-8)
Love is patient and kind;
love does not envy or boast;
it is not arrogant or rude.
It does not insist on its own way;
it is not irritable or resentful;
it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
Love bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.
Love never ends.
So if God is Love, shouldn't this describe Gods character?
The Love God has, towards us?
John 15,9
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.
WOW, GOD IS AMAZING!
Never forget how crazy much he loves you, God is your biggest fan and he is cheering on you!
Whenever you have a hard time, always think of this:
This is how God is about YOU! :D
God Bless!
