. . The Gift of Love
~Katherine Carter
If God’s love is so great, what’s happened to
our joy? Many new believers describe experiencing a “high” from
feeling fully loved and accepted for the first time by a
gracious God. Nothing seems to get to them – they are
walking on air, filled with irrepressible joy. But, over
the years, the vivid reality of God’s love begins to
fade. We don’t feel loved. We feel tired. And, we lose
sight of one of the most important gifts Jesus came into
this world to give us.
The cares of this world and our own brokenness have a way
of gradually obscuring the truth of God’s love, eroding
it down to something that doesn’t even come close to
the real thing. A precious gift is lost. But, can it be recovered?
If so, how? And if we did get it back, would it matter? Would
our lives be any different? Would we be any different?
Tonight, we “unwrap” this gift together and
allow Scripture to answer these questions and speak to our
hearts about the truth of God’s love.
