No Greater Love!

Good Morning Christian Peeps!  Sometimes because of the way I was raised, I catch myself expecting God to strike me down because I didn't do something I felt I should have or maybe I did something I knew I shouldn't have.  It's amazing to me that I still have that mentality.  I know that God is a loving God but still I cringe sometimes in expectation of wrath.  Why?  It's what we were taught basically that God was up there ready to smack us down if we didn't behave.  Maybe it was a scare tactic to make us be better people....it worked, sort of, but it also instilled a wrongful fear of someone who only wishes to extend grace and mercy and love to me.  When we can accept our Father's love without any reservation and can let Him teach us the true meaning of love then and only then will our lives change.  Our Father's love comes without condition and without restraint.  We do not have to earn this love, it is ours freely. I just wanted to remind us today that we have a Father who loves us very much and is right there with us every step of the way.  If someone is feeling lonely today or unloved....let me point you to the one who loved so much, he gave up his life!  No greater love is that, that He would lay down his life for us!  Be Blessed!
