Love of God

We have begun a study of the Fruit of the Spirit that is described in Galatians 5. We began the study last night with a testimony from one of the men that focused on the love of God for mankind. The presentation of his essay was a blessing. This brother in Christ was very authentic, transparent and real as he spoke from his heart. His openness reminded us that God loves us even when we are facing our challenges and difficulties. God's love is real even when we are unlovable and sometimes unapproachable. God's love is real even when do not understand our circumstances and the reasons that we are facing those circumstances. The Love of God is more than some "spiritual theory" and it is revealed in our daily lives in many ways. God's love can be practically applied to the situations that we are facing and the testimony last night brought that fact to reality. I am glad to know that God understands that we are "real" human beings and that we are affected by the events of life that take place around us as well as in us. I choose to thank God for His awesome and wonderful love today. The song declares, "Oh how He loves you and me..."
