My first real understanding of God’s unconditional love was born the day a wise pastor asked me to remember the most sinful thing I had ever done. Once I had that dark deed fixed in my mind, he told me to think of the most Christ like thing I had ever done. I was finally able to think of something and I nodded. “When,” he asked me, “did God love you best? In the moment of your Christ likeness or in the moment of your sinful failure?”
In that instant I experienced a revelation of God’s unconditional love. Although I was nearly overwhelmed with awe I managed to say, “God loves me best always.”
“Nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
— Romans 8:39 (NLT)
Lord Jesus, thank you for loving us. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
