The 12 Joys of Christmas: The Joy of Love.
Romans 5:8 "but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." esv
As a parent I am very familiar with unconditional love. Even before my children were born, I loved them with all my heart. The first moment I saw them, I was overwhelmed and wanted to provide for them anything they needed, and never wanted to be separated from them.
It is much like that for our Father in heaven .... only much more so. God's love is boundless, never ends, is trust worthy, has no strings attached, and is truly unconditional. He does provide all our needs. He is never separated from us. And he loved us before He set the foundations of this world. His desire is to have a truly full filled relationship with each and everyone of us. And He was willing to send His only Son to die on a cross to give us the one thing we needed the most .... Salvation.
It doesn't matter what you have done in your life, or how undeserving you think you are. God loved us when we were at our worst. He pulled us out of the miry clay and accepted us. And He is waiting for you, just as you are.
