“The faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20)
During the moments when we are hardest in our ourselves and lack self-compassion there is still the love of God. When we feel empty and not enough there is still the unrelenting love of God. When someone has walked away from us, trust has been broken, so much hurt and pain that we shall never love again there is still the love of God. Spurgeon wrote: But he is unchanging, so that he loves me still. He cannot love me more, he will not love me less; he has loved me at no period more than he loves me now, and if just now I may be groaning because of my imperfections, and mourning because of my tribulations, yet he loved me so as to give himself for me, and he never has turned from that love, and he never will. It is a very fine thing to have worldly substance; but it melts like the frost in the sun. It is a very great mercy to have good health; but what a small thing when finally my life will be required of me! But if you get this love of Christ, you have a treasure which never can be lost, a blessing that never will be exhausted. “Who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Sit down, dear child of God, and say to yourself, “Here I have something which I shall never lose; it cannot be taken from me. Oh, that by grace I may be enabled to rejoice in it, and to return the love of my poor heart to him who never stops loving me, no matter, no matter. Dear Lord, may we never forget that, when we were yet in sin, you loved us and gave your life for us so that we might have life. If we should ever feel the emptiness or void of not being loved, remind us Lord that your love has always, always been more than enough. Amen. GiGi❤️
