A word often used to describe deep love is ‘unconditional.’ We love our children unconditionally. Regardless of what life may do to them, or what their choices may be, we will love them.

God’s love is like that – unconditional. Where we have that for our children, He has it for everyone. I mean EVERYone. The pitiful, the unshaven, the odorous, the wealthy, the beautiful, whoever. Peter tells us in Acts that God is not a respecter of persons. He does not care about anything but YOU, your Spirit and your soul. He does not care about how you look or where you are from. It’s easy for us to say that we love everyone, but we would all have a limit, somewhere. With God, there is no limit.

Another awesome fact about God’s love is that nothing can separate us from it. This means nothing that we do, or say, or think, can separate us from that great love. He is always forgiving and always has His arms open wide for us.

His love is so deep, so wide, so high, that He gave His Son for us. His Son had to carry all our ugliness to the cross and bear it upon His shoulders. Then He had to turn His back on His Son, so that His plan of redemption could happen.

Romans 8:39: “Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Now that is love.
