To wonder at God’s love, to evaluate its boundlessness, to meditate on this springboard for all of God’s wonderful gifts… is purely overwhelming. This wonder ties all seasons together - God’s love in giving us Jesus, celebrated at Christmas. The love Jesus owned that had driven Him to His death for us. The light of His love that shines through all believers is our unifying mark!

There have been books, devotionals, songs, poems, letters and plays written about God’s unfailing love. Human love, however, is confusing, misplaced and even used as leverage in relationships. Our “love” can be sold cheaper than dirt and can be uglier than sin. Without God, we don’t know true love. His love is the pure love that drives all goodness.

We all know John 3:16 and how much He loved us to send His only son. But do we really meditate on it? Let’s spend some time in the Word looking up scripture on the Wonder of God’s Love.

There are 697 times the word “love” is mentioned in the Bible (NIV). 2 John 1:5-6: “And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we love one another. And this is love: that we walk in obedience to His commands. As you have heard from the beginning, His command is that you walk in love.”

We may wonder at God’s love, but we don’t have to wonder about what to do with it! He has written down everything for our convenience and repeated the important parts.
