The currency of God's love

"God's love is always now." ~ Judah Smith

God is real and so is His love.  God continues to show us in so many ways.  It's summed up in Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."  

God is the only one that sent someone to die for me.  That's speaks volumes of forever love for me. ~ Janelle Keith

Before we were a thought, He loved us.

Before you took your first breath, you were loved.

Before time began He loved, and before your time began, again there was God simply loving us and expecting nothing in return.

This is hard concept but we have to get this by faith to receive this.  

Let's be honest, it isn't something that you can feel on some days, but it's by faith we receive and understand it.  And when we get it, then...wow! His love hits us between the eyes and goes straight to the heart.

When I think about God's love, it sends me to a place that I like to wander to and stand in awe of.  It's relentless, never gets tired of chasing our wayward hearts.

His love can reach to deepest depression and give us a hand up.  It can lift our eyes to the highest emotional high to encourage us, and wraps us warm all over.  We can't be separated from it on our worst day.

It's for us now, as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow.

It's current, fresh every morning and walks with us through our days.  Knowing that we are that "someone special" for God should make a difference in our daily life.

All this love talk is sometimes hard to swallow when rejection and pain come from the corners of our lives, but God's love is perfect and doesn't judge.  It's long-lasting and eternal. It never gives up on us.   His love always hopes for us as God is our hope!

God's love is described quite nicely in 1 Corinthians 13: 4- 8  "Love is patient and kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. ...And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Love wins.  Each and every time, always, now and forever.   God's love changes our nows and our forever.  God's love changes us, be changed by God's love.

You (fill in your name here), yes you, are loved.

Five Minute Friday {Perfect}

I am awkward.  

I laugh a lot.  

I trust too easily.  

I give my heart too readily.

I am quiet at times and when you least expect it.  

I cry.

I can smile a lot too.  

There are days when I don't show my heart well.

I get hurt when left out.

I am clumsy.  With actions and words.

I am beginning to like who I am though just a little.

I try to look pretty but most days give up.

My heart has been stomped on.

Most days I avoid the mirror and remember the number on the scale.

I want perfection, but know that I am severely lacking.


"We pray that you'll have the strength to stick it out over the long haul--not the grim strength of gritting your teeth but the glory-strength God gives. It is strength that endures the unendurable and spills over into joy." Colossians 1:11(MSG)

I have an enthusiasm to write and share God's love.

I know that Jesus is enough.  And that's just who I am. 


I want to live a life worthy of the Lord and my please him in every way.


I want to bear fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge that comes from God. 

I am great with "perfect"....for today.
