Day 20 — The Love of God
Channel: Chapelstreet Church
Date: 28/03/2022

Day #20 of our 23 Days with God is on the love of God. This devotion is presented by Julie Robertson our Coordinator of Care Groups.

"Love" is not something God does, it is who He is. In today's devotion, Julie talks about what it means for God to be "love." We tend to let our own experience and culture shape our perspective & understanding of "love." The love we have as humans is conditional, based on kindness, money, power, or feelings. To understand that God is love we must focus on God first and appreciate how He relates and acts to us.

We can start by recognizing that God loves us because He created us. We didn't have to do anything to be worthy or earn His love. Because God's love cannot be separated from His other attributes, it is infinite, good, wise, and Holy. Like a parent with a child, God always wants what is best for us. He may correct us from sin, but our sin does not take away His love for us.

What does knowing this mean for us? It allows you to rest in the security that our Lord loves you no matter who you are, where you are, what you have done, or where you are going. Remember this as you go through your day: nothing can separate you from God's love. He loves you to the core of your being. Look for an opportunity to demonstrate or tell someone about the love God has for them.

TODAY'S VERSE
========================
Ephesians 3:16-20
That according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,  so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us.
