His Great Love

We must never forget the greatness of His love for us. Our love for Him is too often wavering, too often circumstance based. But that is not so of His love for us. It is more infinite than space, more eternal than time, and more powerful than the most devastating human failure.
When we struggle with our sin and failure to resist temptation, His love is making us more than conquerors through Him that loved us.
When our faithfulness falters at any roadblock or disappointment, His love is making us more than conquerors through Him that loved us.

His conquering love penetrates the darkness with the light of His Word so that we suddenly cry, "Oh, now I see."
His conquering love takes our weaknesses and exclaims, "Ah, now that's something I can really use to do My work and make My power known to men."
