How Deep Is Your Love

How great is our God? He is greater than all of your enemies and all of your problems. He is able to work through any weapon that is formed against us so that we can prosper. God gave us life and He wants us to live that life more abundantly! Don’t spend too much time with your mind on your enemies because that is precious time that you could be spending thinking about the goodness and grace that God has afforded you on this day! Our God is a good God and He is worthy to be praised!
Good day to you all! There is a blessing in store for you today! Just know that God has not forgotten about you!
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You're my savior when I fall-The Bee Gee’s “How Deep is Your Love”

But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

We have been told that if something is too good to be true then it probably is. We seek proof in order to justify most things. We want to be assured that we are on the right path. When it comes to love we seek the same assurance as we do in most things, because we want to protect our hearts from being hurt. We have all been heartbroken and it is not a good feeling. So it is reasonable to ask someone who claims to love you, “How deep is your love?” We know that love can be a sacrifice, and sometimes we want to know how much someone is willing to sacrifice in order to show us how much love they have for us. We want to know how deep that love goes. We want to know if it is love that is just on the surface or if it goes all the way down to the root. We want to know if it just sounds good when things are good, or if it is a love that is deeply rooted enough to withstand the rain and the storms that can rise up out of nowhere and attempt to destroy what is beautiful. How deep is your love?

Dear Reader, I want to encourage you to smile today! I want to encourage you to smile even though what you are going through is not comfortable. I want you to smile even through where you are might not want you to be. I want you to smile because God loves you. If you want to ask God, “How deep is your love”, you can, but I am here to tell you that God has already answered that question for you. He answered that question when He sent His son down to earth to become just like you and me. His name is Jesus and he is a king that was born in a manger. He wanted you to know that it doesn’t matter where you start, it’s all about where you finish. Jesus came down from Heaven in order to set us free. I don’t know about you, but that seems pretty deep to me. God does not want any of us to miss the train that is going to heaven so He sent a ticket Master down, and said give away these tickets for free. Jesus wants you to know how deep His love goes that is why He continues to bless us even when we don’t deserve it. He forgives us even when we feel that we are unforgiveable. His love is so deep that no matter how many leaves we may lose, our roots are not going anywhere. When we love God there are going to be storms that will come up out of nowhere that will attempt to separate us from that love, but Dear Reader Jesus is right there in the storm with you and He will say to the storm PEACE BE STILL. That’s how deep His love is. Dear Reader smile today, smile next week, because no matter what you go through God has already worked it out, and the victory is yours. That’s how deep His love is!

You are beautiful, loved, and blessed

John Reed
