Love

In the book of Romans, Paul tells us that we cannot be separated from the love of God. So what is the problem? The problem is our acceptance of that love! We have a problem accepting that much love. Why? You would think that being loved would be something that we would want. Especially being loved by the One who created us.
I think that we have a problem accepting God's infinite love, because we often feel unworthy of it. Have you ever received something from someone that you felt you didn't deserve? For whatever reason...something you did, something you are doing, your thoughts and actions can make you feel unworthy of love. Love not only from God, but from even those close to you. Guilt can cause you to reject love. You fail to realize that God loved you so much, He made a way for your forgiveness and gave a Sacrifice to cover your sin and guilt. So, whenever you feel unloved or guilt ridden..remind yourself of the infinite love that comes only from God. The proof of that love is so evident in Jesus. He is Emmanuel...that means God with us. Think about it! God loved us so much..He came down to dwell on the earth, just because He wanted us to come back to Him.
The vastness of His love is never ending! We don't have to feel unloved because of what He did for us! All that is required is our acceptance of that love. This Christmas, think about what that means! Christmas is all about love...the giving of it...but, most of all the receiving of it! Don't have Christmas without it!
