Divine Love

Isaiah 62:5 (NIV)

As a young man marries a young woman,
    so will your Builder marry you;
as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
    so will your God rejoice over you.

Think about someone that you have loved and maybe still love. It doesn't necessarily have to be a romantic love- but just think of a person you have genuinely loved in some way. Think about how you felt when you told them you loved them, and what that love really meant to you. Here in God's word, God tells us that His love for us runs so deep that He is making an eternal promise with us, one as serious as a marriage between man and wife. God designed us to be filled with His divine love, and also to love Him with a love that is undivided and one that recklessly abandons anything that would hinder that love. God makes His promise clear throughout His love letter that He wrote to us in His message, and God's promises are always unshakable. Our Creator and the Builder of our lives desires for us to return our love to Him so that we may live the life He intended us to live, immersed in the fullness of His love. 

Open up to God about the love you've experienced in your life, or maybe the lack of love that you have felt. Talk to Him about how love has affected you, and what His love means to you. If you feel God leading you, open up your heart to love Him with all that is in you, leaving behind anything that would hold you back. Make a promise to God to love Him forever, just as a man and wife would promise to love each other the rest of their lives. God greatly desires to hold you in His unfailing love that lies within that promise, and He rejoices over that life-changing promise. 

I pray that God's divine love for you empowers you and fills you up throughout today. I hope everyone has a fantastic day!
