We all know that God loves us. As a believer, we learn that. We are told that. We tell it to each other all the time but do you fully understand it? Do you know exactly what it means? Have you ever felt His true love for you?
I experienced it for the first time a few months ago. I knew He loved me and He died for me. I felt loved by Him but that night I experienced it for the first time. My husband and I were sitting on the couch watching the old school bugs bunny show and Sam the cowboy with the red mustache was chasing after bugs bunny trying to kill him. He kept messing up, dying and going to hell and coming back to continue pursuing bugs bunny. As I am sitting there watching this cartoon, it hit me. That this is exactly where I was headed, to hell. That I spent the last 20+ years living a life without God and heading straight down to hell. BUT because of who God his and what He did for me, I am not! I get to spend my eternity with God!
For the first time I felt exactly just how much He loves me. How much He loves us. I understood what He had to do to bring me back to Him. To change the course of my destiny. God could of easily not bother with me. Like I've easily done to Him for so many years. But His love... His love.. Wow! That is something else... Thank you Jesus. Thank you!
God bless, Nancy xo
