It’s early sunrise, I see the shadow of things to come amidst the reflection of the sun-rays dancing on God’s earth, in this case, my backyard. Little creatures beginning their day, scurrying about with their daily chores. A family of squirrels dancing about searching for their carefully hidden food supplies methodically placed the day before. Birds chirping and dew glistening on the lush foliage, all part of God’s beautiful landscape He artfully arranged. And, yet another day to love Him more than the day before!
God’s love is endless and bountiful, and His arms are extended to us every single moment of our day, non-stop, unconditionally, and completely altruistically with no exceptions based on status, because God is not a respecter of persons.
God loves us without regard to what we’ve done, or failed to do. He is steady, sure, and the same as He’s been since the beginning of time.
The Holy Word is filled with His love and His light, and vitally important to us in every conceivable way, in every aspect of our life, now and to be continued into the next life–that is to say—eternity.
As you read His Word, next time, ask Him for wisdom to open it up even more, begin to be receptive of His prompts, His voice, and His desires. Share what you know with others, through your actions, be it compassion, a phone call to cheer someone up, or a smile to the cashier as you buy your items at the register.
Each one of these actions are a homage to His love as you become an example of His light when you extend it to others. Each time you do so, it’s another way of loving Him. It’s an additional way to make Him “smile.”
His Word is prolific, and it’s alive, it’s moving, and it’s rewarding, it’s self assuring, and His promises are impregnable…but most important, His love is all encompassing…like no other love we’ve ever known, or could know. Amen!
See how great a love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God.

Romans 8:28
God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so very much, that even while we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s special favor that you have been saved!) For he raised us from the dead along with Christ, and we are seated with him in the heavenly realms — all because we are one with Christ Jesus. And so God can always point to us as examples of the incredible wealth of his favor and kindness toward us, as shown in all he has done for us through Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 2:4-7
May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
Ephesians 3:19
Anyone who does not love does not know God — for God is love.
