Assignment

I have a simple assignment for you: Read one of the gospels. Have those you love read one of the gospels. Read it together. You see, the gospels make one thing crystal clear--the love of God. You cannot help but see love in the words and actions of our Savior. And He is your Lover--you are His bride. And what happens when I begin to see anew the wonder of His love for me? "We love Him--and His other children--because He first loved us." From the manger to the empty tomb. Sometimes we harp so much--demanding obedience--when obedience is the "natural" flow from someone's heart who knows how deeply he or she is loved by the God who is love. Read the greatest love story ever told and remind yourself that you are at the center of the story--the one so loved. He came, lived, loved, died, rose again, and ever intercedes now for you. Why? Because He loves you.
