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.
We are instructed to bear one another’s burdens, (Galatians 6:2) so if there are any prayer requests feel free to leave them in the comment section. I would be honored to pray with you. If it is more private you can always contact me via email at luckd61@yahoo.com I check that every day. Blessings to you all, till we meet again, tomorrow, if the Lord is willing. Peace.
