GOD’S LOVE BOOK(S)
Song of Songs 2:4
“He has taken me to the banquet hall, and His banner over me is love.”
Song of Songs 2:4
“He has taken me to the banquet hall, and His banner over me is love.”
Isaiah 64:4
"Since ancient times, no one has heard, no ear has perceived no eye has seen any God but You, Who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him."
"Since ancient times, no one has heard, no ear has perceived no eye has seen any God but You, Who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him."
Extreme lengths—His banner over you is love. God created people to love them, and to be loved by them. He pursues every person with an invitation to form an intimate loving relationship with Him. It’s no accident that people chase after, struggle with, and risk all for love—it’s how we’re intentionally wired. Every book in the Bible was written as a love book to us, God’s children. Studying the Bible draws God’s kids inside. The Bible is life’s instruction manual, a collection of love letters in book form. They speak to us—show us, warn us, embrace us—offering us promises.
Our Father invites conversation, awaiting your response. He promises to provide for your every need (Matthew 6:8). He promises to delight with your heart’s desires (Psalm 37:4). He knows each of us intimately, having knitted you together in your mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13-16, Jeremiah 1:5). Everything we’re talented at doing is His gift to us. He created each child, unique, special, and beloved--woven into the tapestry of His family portrait. He has a specific plan and purpose for every one of His children. He longs for us to get passionate about loving Him in return.
From clothing Adam and Eve to cover their shame of nakedness (Genesis 3:21) to liberating you from your sins through the blood of Christ (Revelation 1:5), every book in the Bible was written for you.
There are only three things that are impossible for God. 1) He cannot lie. 2) He cannot be other than what is His nature to be. 3) He cannot abide sin.
He will never tempt us, (allowing Satan to do so—to grow us to maturity). He is the direct opposite of evil; He is holy, faithful, righteous, and just. (Our Father never pays us back for how we treat Him.) He always fulfills promises. He always answers prayer. He wrote the Bible to make it easy for us to seek Him.
Instead of being concerned about who loves whom on Earth, are you secure in your heavenly Father’s love?

Here’s proof of God’s love: even as God created man, He knew that we’d disobey His command, and break the love bond. While we were still strangers to Him because of sin, He sent His Son to die for us. This act of reconciliation forgives us, makes us blameless, and adopts us into His family. Dad by day, the indwelt Holy Spirit transforms us into the very image of Christ.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST.
