Isaiah 49:8-15; Psalm 145; John 5:17-30

God’s love

‘Can a woman forget the baby at her breast?’ (Isaiah 49:15). We cannot comprehend a love greater than that of a mother for her baby. Yet we know that God’s love is even greater. To be loved is our greatest human need. Human love, with all its limitations and imperfections, enriches our lives. How much more so, then, are we enriched by God’s perfect, unconditional love? Jesus’ whole ministry can be summed up as a mission to tell us, and to show us, that God loves each one of us totally and unconditionally. If you listen for it, God will tell you each day, ‘(Name), I love you.’
