Gospel Reflections #268: God's love makes every sacrifice to make it easier for us to respond.

Philippians 1:21 "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."

God's love follows us everywhere.

God's love waits patiently for our response, never giving up, never forcing us.

God's love makes every sacrifice to make it easier for us to respond.

God's love knows our sin, knows our weakness, and forgives, heals, and pities us in Jesus.

We are made alive in such God's love.

When we accept Jesus, we are living Christ through Him.

We can live with God even in this life!

And when we die, at the Second Coming, we can actually live with God.

We cannot live without God's love.

When we realize this, we will be overwhelmed by the magnitude of God's love.

It will bring not surprise, but joy, peace, and hope.

This is irreplaceable, and it is not something that someone else can do for you.

It depends on your acceptance and reception of God's love when you come to know it.

It is not what you do or what you have done, but only whether or not you receive God's love.
