Romans 5:8 “but God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” 

 As this verse sinks into our brains and our hearts, it blows my mind because I can’t even see how I can buy my kids a gift when they are in the middle of misbehaving. Usually when I give a gift to my children its’ to reward them for something right, they did, not the opposite.  

If you knew that someone was cheating on you would you buy them a gift? How about if you knew someone was robbing you on a daily basis, would you still take them out to eat? Because that’s exactly what God did for us. While we were still in the act, meaning busy being sinful, and selfish, Jesus knowing all this still gave his life for us so that you and I could have everlasting life! 

This is how much we are loved by our daddy God! None of the things we’ve done in the past or in the present or even the future would have held him back from what he did on the cross of calvary. Although we were undeserving,  He still said “I love you!”  How do you respond to a love so pure and so amazing?  

God demonstrated his love for us, can we demonstrate to him our gratitude?

 Prayer: Thank you Father God for your love towards us. It’s is humbling to know that although you knew all the shortcomings of my life and my failures, you still loved me unconditionally. May we demonstrate to you our gratitude in a way that brings you great joy! Amen!
