Great is the measure of our Father’s love
Psalm 23:6
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me, all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever

God loves us so much that in spite of our faults and sins, we are still entitled to His goodness and mercy.

In fact He has made sure that through the death and resurrection of our Lord, the evil one cannot prevent us from enjoying the goodness and mercy of God, once we receive the gift of salvation and put our trust completely in Him.

John 3:16 says
For God so loved the world that, He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Furthermore John 15:13 says
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down His life for His friends.

There is no other love that compares to the agape love of God. Philio ( brotherly love) and Eros (love between a man and a woman based on emotions) cannot compare with agape love because they are both based on conditions like blood links, church links, beauty, attraction, generosity etc. If these conditions do not exist, philo love and Eros cannot exist.

With the agape love of God, each of us are loved for who we are, with our faults and sins and not because of what we have or what we do.

Romans 8:38-39
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God….

Nothing can separate us from the love of God as the verse above says.

Make sure you accept the gift of salvation and tap into the love of God.
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Accept the gift of salvation and dedicate your life to God.

Prayer
Meditate on the words of this song

Think about His love
Think about His goodness
Think about His grace
That’s brought us through
For as far as the heavens above
So great is the measure of our Father’s love
Great is the measure of our Father’s love
Amen
