Daily Devotion 11 February 2025 Examples of God’s love

February 10, 2025 By Tom Stearns Leave a Comment

Good morning,

Valentine’s day is this Friday. It is the day, each year, when we think about love for others. We buy heart shaped candies and flowers for our loved ones.

But what is love? Who is love? How should we express our love for others? 

Love should be an everyday event in our lives.

GOD IS LOVE

Examples of God’s love

Genesis 1:1   In the beginning God

Genesis 2:22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

Genesis 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

Joseph In all Joseph’s adversity, God loved him and cared for him

Exodus God loved his children Israel and provided a way of escape from the Egyptians

Rahab was a harlot but God loved her and saved her and her family

Ruth was a Moabite

David had a man killed

Solomon disobeyed God

Saul, persecutor of the church on the road to Emmaus

How do we respond to God’s love?

John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

I John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.

I John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

God’s love is unconditional. He loves the worst of sinners. He draws the worst of sinners to Himself. He makes them into His instruments of righteousness. 

Reflect and meditate on the list of names. Then reflect on your own life. If God could use this list of vile, wicked, and immoral people, he can also use you!

The question is, will we let Him?
