God loves you with a generous love.When we think about the coming celebration of Easter, God's lavish generosity is in every aspect. In his gift of Jesus, he gave us a model to follow, a truth to set us free, a grace that brings us life, a peace that passes understanding, a forgiveness that removes our sins as far as east is from west. The list of gifts is endless. And we did not deserve even one of them.
Here are two verses to consider as you get dressed for the working week today - whether it is back to work wear or your school uniform - that speak of the generosity of your God:
Isaiah 61:10 says: I am overwhelmed with joy in the Lord my God! For he has dressed me with the clothing of salvation and draped me in a robe of righteousness.
Psalm 30:11 says: You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy.
In each passage we read of clothing that God has given to us - salvation, righteousness, joy. We have so much for which to be grateful whether physically, materially or spiritually. Today, as the week begins, why not take some time to think about how God has blessed your life with the generosity of his love, and how he might be calling you to express that generosity as you Love 40 days today?
Please do share anything that God is showing you about his generosity in the comments below.
