"May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word."
2Thessalonians 2: 16-17
If love could be measured, it would be measured by how much it gives. Would you like to know the extent to which you love your children, your spouse, your roomate, or your co-workers? Then ask yourself: How much do i give? To be honest, love that gives without limits doesn't even ask that question. Love like that doesn't even care to measure itself. It just joyfully gives without taking any notice of how much has been sacrifice.
That's how God loves. And the measure of love of God is in what, or I should say, whom he gave. He gave His Son. His life. His only begotten. He gave everything, nothingheld back, every last ounce, all in all. He squandered His love extravagantly and unashamed on vile sinners.
That's why God should be so easy to trust with you He never uses words of despair or defeat, hopelessness or frustration. His encouraging love never mentions fear or failure. Those aren't wirds of love. Not His love.When God encourages your heart, He speaks words of hope and victory, rest and peace, joy and triumph.
Read today's verses again and you'll discover God's eternal encouragement. It's the measure of His love. If your heart needs to be strengthened today, let Him speak to you His loving words of hope and comfort.
