What Love Looks Like

John 3:16 NKJV For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

This is the greatest love story of all mankind. How much love. What incredible love. Love for all of mankind, every single one of us. Love that is ours to receive or to reject. Love spilled out in red, with the precious blood of Christ. This is how we know what love is, that He first loved us and gave His life as a ransom for many.

Elle Limebear sings it best in her song, “What Love Looks Like.”  Please listen to the words. This girl has an amazing voice and it has been touching my heart so deeply lately.

I have seen what love looks like

Brighter than the morning light

Tender as the sweetest sound

Yet can turn the tables upside down

Oh Lord, because of what I’ve done

My list of sin and shame

I don’t deserve Your heart

But still…

You love me completely

So much You gave Your life

You offered it freely

A relentless sacrifice

And I see scars in Your hands and feet

Thorn crown You wore for me

Forgiveness in Your eyes

This is what love

This is what love looks like

This is what love

This is what love looks like

Always patient, always kind

You never leave the lost behind

And even though I wander still

Oh, You chase me down, You always will

Oh Lord, because of what I’ve done

My list of sin and shame

I don’t deserve Your heart

But still…

It looks like You, Jesus

It looks like You, Jesus

Heavenly Father,

I love You so much. Thank You for this day. In it we have another opportunity to draw nearer to You and to be guided by Your love. This song Lord, these lyrics, oh how they bring tears to my eyes. To see what love You have for this world. What endless, boundless and amazing love. Your love is full of sacrifice. You gave Your all on the cross for our sins. May we never take it lightly, the price You have paid for our freedom. I am so sorry for any and all sins that have placed the thorns on Your head and the nails in Your hands.

It sickens me to know what we have done as a society. The watering down of the gospel, the immense plague of ungodliness that is sweeping through our nation under names such as abortion, human trafficking, and  racial biases to name a few.

Lord, You love us completely. There is no separation with You. No falsehoods, no pretensions, no airs, indeed  there is nothing but pure love in Your eyes. The scars in Your hands and feet remind me that is what love looks like. Love that is complete. There is nothing we can or have to do to earn it. I thank You for Your love. The love that ran red for my sins, as well as for everyone else.

Lord, may blinded eyes be opened and may many come to Your feet and see, in truth, what love looks like. Please bless and protect Elle Limebear as a singer. Keep her and everyone reading and agreeing with this prayer in the perfect center of Your will for their life. Thank You Jesus for showing us what love looks like. It is in Your name that we pray. Amen.
