God loves you in the morning sun and the evening rain, without caution or regret.
-Brennan Manning
Love enters the world of its own accord, for its own reasons. And love is always accompanied by light. That is, love always illuminates the space it occupies. Watch now for love to enlighten your world. Look to see what new understanding is yours in the presence of love. As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love.
-John 15:9-10a
It’s a lifelong process of accepting God’s unconditional love each day. In a world that is filled with parameters, conditions and cautions, God loves us through it all.
God teaches us through commandments, the lives of prophets and disciples and Jesus, ultimately to show the best way for us to live.
It's better for us to love our enemies than to hate them. It's better to tell the truth than to lie. It's better to take a day of rest each week than to work without stopping. God knows that when we live by these commandments, we are not only living in the way that better for us, we are living in a way that allows us to experience God’s love more deeply. What are some ways that you have experienced God’s love more deeply recently?
