The Matchless.....Unconditional Love Of God Pt 2

As children of Almight God, if we are honest with ourselves, we at times struggle to understand how a loving and gracious Father can accept us just as we are with warts, blemishes, imperfections and sinful hearts, He seems to be quite the expert and seeking and saving the lost. Romans 5:8 says it like this, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us". That and many other passages of scripture also valitdate His unconditional and unwavering love. Thats the voice of Truth. Then we have another voice we have found ourselves listening to way too often.....The voice of Satan. His lies, manipulation, trickery and deceitful tactics can make us feel unwanted by God, discouraged and having a sense of hopelessness.  John 8:44 says he is the father of  lies. John 10:10 says "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full". It's through worry, doubt, fear and sin that satan paints a false picture of where we stand with God. Whispering lies such as these, "you've really messed up this time, you can't return to God after what you've done", or how can God love you when you left him and you don't deserve his grace."  To sum it up Satan seeks to throw condemnation and self-loathing at us with great force, undermine our confidence and relationship with Christ. We can't ever pray enough, meditate enough, read his scripture enough to earn any salvation or cause God to love us. The great news is that his love is never ending or failing its deeper than any ocean and can't be compared to any relationship or sexual experience. Its the unconditional, matchless love of almight God!
