Have you ever felt that nobody loves you? I wonder how many people are walking around feeling that love is not attainable. The real question is how do people come to this conclusion? Some have arrived at this point by giving so much and receiving so little in return. Others can’t relate to love because of the abuse they received or some event from a younger age. This is the reason why Jesus came and gave His all (John 3:16). He came to help people understand there is someone who loves them more than they will ever understand. Think about this, how many people would consider dying for you? Let me put it another way, Jesus knows all about you and still he gave His all for you. When he was abused, he did not say a word but went through everything to create the opportunity for us to be redeemed.
This is what the Lenten season is about; sacrifice. Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice by giving His life for us. This allows us to understand that love is not what you say, but what you do. So, I ask you to give Jesus a try and experience what real love is all about. In spite of all of our faults, He loves us unconditionally. There is somebody who loves you and He is knocking on the door of your heart. Will you answer?
