Abounding Love


It’s just a few weeks until Valentine’s Day, the next holiday, the day that those who love want to be shown love, and those who desire love hope to find it.  Yet, what many find is not love at all.

Exodus 34 is pretty much the first time we read of the character of God in the Old Testament: The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness…

The only place to find true love is from the one who is love – God. 

He is the definition of love.

He abounds in love.

When something “abounds” it exists in large quantities.  And that’s the way God’s love is.  It is so large and bountiful that it extends to all people, regardless of color, gender, economic status, height, intellect, etc.  It abounds to all.

In fact, John 3:16 says God so loved the world…  That’s abounding love!

If you’re anticipating, or dreading, the V-day coming up next month, journey through these devos over the next few week and fall in love with the most gracious lover of all – your heavenly Father. And see if this doesn't end up being the best Valentine's Day you've ever had...
