"Lord, help me to live this day, quietly, easily. To lean upon Thy great strength, trustfully, restfully. To wait for the unfolding of Thy will, patiently, serenely. To meet others, peacefully, joyously. To face tomorrow, confidently, courageously. ― Francis of Assisi"
The Love of God is indeed Awesome!!! It is much greater than you or I will ever be able to fully comprehend during our physical existence on this planet. Once we begin to understand the reality and the depth of the Love of God, we will never cease to be amazed at how much greater His Love actually is than we think we understand it to be at any given time. His Love is infinite, supernatural, without limits, and unconditional. His Love never changes. He doesn’t get angry when we sin unintentionally. In fact, He gave (provided) Himself, in the manifestation of His only begotten Son, as the necessary sacrifice to cleanse us of all our sins (Genesis 22:8) and He doesn’t remember any of them (Jeremiah 31:34).
Billy Graham spoke of God’s Love like this:
As I read the Bible, I find love to be the supreme and dominant attribute of God. The promises of God’s love and forgiveness are as real, as sure, as positive, as human words can make them. But the total beauty of the ocean cannot be understood until it is seen, and it is the same with God’s love. Until you actually experience it, until you actually possess it, no one can describe its wonders to you. Never question God’s great love, for it is as unchangeable a part of God as His holiness. Were it not for the love of God, none of us would ever have a chance in the future life. But God is love! And His love for us is everlasting. – Jeremiah 31:3
The purpose of this website is to assist people like you, myself, and all others who need to know about God’s Great Love for mankind by providing resources which can help us to grow in knowing the never ending, Great Love that the Creator of all things has for us and for all of mankind and all of His creation. His Love is much deeper than any human is capable of even imagining, and it is totally unconditional. Because of His Great Love for us all (Romans 8:38-39), more than 2,000 years ago God took extraordinary measures to provide what was needed in order for us to be able to be with Him forever. Think about it, Jesus, the SON of GOD came to EARTH as a MAN and was crucified as a CRIMINAL although He was perfectly innocent. He did that FOR YOU!!!
In short, God loves us all so much that He came to earth to live as a sinless human (Hebrews 4:15) just so He could die and shed His Precious blood, thereby paying the death penalty for us all that we ourselves earn because of our sins (John 1:29). He did that just to make it possible for all of mankind to have the opportunity to come to experience the Joy of knowing Him and to live in His Presence always and forever. Three days after He was maliciously murdered and buried He was raised back to life (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) and was later transported back to heaven as a divine human man where He to this day remains as our Great High Priest (Hebrews 8:1) and intervenes for us daily (Romans 8:34, 1 John 2:1). One day in the future He will return to this planet to rule over it as King of Kings (Revelation 14:14, 19:16)
No matter what we have ever thought or done, or will think or do, He is always waiting for us to look to Him and accept His sacrifice of Love for us all. There’s a good chance that our Loving Creator has led you to this web site without you even realizing He did so. Look to Him now to fill the emptiness you may feel with more Real Love than you know is possible.
I pray that you will find the resources in these pages and those linked to from other websites helpful to you as you strive to learn more about God’s Great Love for you and for all the others He is drawing to Himself via this website.
Please pray for me and for this website
The Holy Spirit: Our Intercessor... from Reggie Thomas
“The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.” Romans 8:26-27 (NIV)
Several years ago, when I was serving as a pastor, I received a call from a lady telling me her husband had had a heart attack. When I arrived at the hospital, I was told that the lady’s husband passed away. Upon my entering the emergency waiting room, the lady tried to share with me what happened as her husband was experiencing the heart attack, as well as her feelings at the moment. She was so emotional, I could not understand her. Fortunately, one of her friends was able to take over and communicate with me what the new widow was trying to say.
Doesn’t that sound so much like the ministry of the Holy Spirit? He intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. The Holy Spirit lives in us and is with us. He is our “Paraclete,” which comes from the Greek word “paraKletos.” The preposition “para” means parallel or side-by-side. “Kletos” is a noun from the verb “Kaleo,” which means called-to. When you put these two words together, the translation is . . . “called alongside.”
The Holy Spirit is called to walk alongside us. He is our companion. He is our counselor, comforter, and helper. He knows what we go through, and He knows our weaknesses. The Holy Spirit also knows our hearts. Times exist when we are so emotional about a situation, a difficulty, or trial . . . we cannot put words together to pray. At other times, we do not have enough understanding about how to pray about a situation. In those times, the Holy Spirit actually takes over and pleads on our behalf. The Holy Spirit is our intercessor and He constantly prays for us.
