The Love You Give
Recently, I posted a quote from Mindset Therapy on my WhatsApp status and that quote sure gathered a lot of reactions and spurred a lot of conversations. The quote says
"When you lose an emotional attachment to someone, you realize how ordinary they are. It's your love and your energy that makes people seem so special"
This quote gathered a lot of comments like "A hundred percent ", "I agree", and "So true". It also led to different discussions and instances where it had happened with people. Majorly, the discussions revolved around the different scenarios of how you thought your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend was the best thing (since sliced bread 😂) in life and now that you are probably no longer in love, they seem ordinary and like everyday people. This further supports the above quote that it's the love and energy that you give to people that make them so special.
Last week, I was having a discussion with my friend, Yvonne, and we talked about this quote again. This time she said something different and it was "It's the same with God". I loved that and I thought I should share that with you all today.
It is the love of God, the energy of god, the goodness of God, His grace, and His mercies that make us so special than we truly are. God doesn't love us because we are special or we are amazing; it is His love that makes us so special. The Bible says that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). While we were yet not special, while we were wallowing in sin and death, He loved us and died for us.
And you know the beautiful thing about God? His love isn't as fickle as a man's love. His love would not be hot today and cold tomorrow (like your ex-boyfriend or girlfriend 😅) His love endures forever. So you will never not be continually loved by Him and you will always be special according to Him because of His love. His love is rich and pure, measureless and strong, and endures forever!
His love is such leverage! You know, I have been reading about the Israelites, about David, and some other characters in the Old Testament. And really, they are just as messed up. but you know what makes them special? God's love. The fact that God chose them. The fact that God calls them His own. The good news is that God also loves you. God is also calling you His own and by His Spirit, you have now received the Spirit of adoption by which you can cry "Abba Father" (Romans 8:15) What a flex is it to be loved by God!
Now that easter is upon us, remember not to be carried away by the activities that surround the easter celebration. But instead, remember that for God so loved you and I, that He gave His only begotten son and that we may believe in Him, not perish, and have eternal life. He went to the depths of hell for you and conquered death for you. Now, ensure that you are living like someone who is loved by Him; because you indeed are. Never forget that God loves you beyond measure. You were made by Him to love Him and to show His love to everyone around you.
Happy Easter!
