God's Unique Love for you

God’s Unique Love for You

This past weekend all five grandchildren came over to the house for a sleepover and

Valentine’s Party with the focus being on that they were “God's One-of-a-Kind

Valentine.”

We talked about His unique love for them while we played games and did crafts. They

especially enjoyed looking in the mirror and having me declare just how great and

special they each of them are because I wanted them to know He made each of them

individually.

Even though their ages range from 2 to 8 years, God designed them to share His love

with the world in different and very wonderful ways and it begins with understanding and

experiencing the love that He has for them first.

I am amazed to see how my love for these grands has grown over the years. First it was

Alyvia (8), then Lena (6), and soon Caleb (5), Vera (3), and Noah (2) to love and

celebrate.

When each of the grands was born, my love was not divided, my love

actually multiplied with the addition of a new grandchild. My love for each one is unique,

because they are all so unique.

They each awaken my love in different ways.

Each of them has unique gifts, talents, passions, and abilities. Alyvia loves to organize,

Caleb enjoys books, Lena has an eye for fashion, Vera is imaginative, and Noah enjoys

learning new things. They are so easy to celebrate, and my love and admiration grows

every time I am with them.

In the same way, I like to think God love us equally, but differently. He does not give

measurable amounts or equal portions, so that none of us are slighted. His love is not a

matter of portion control; his love is unique and infinite. He loved us before there was a

beginning and His love for us knows no end, it is everlasting. His “love never fails [it

never fades nor ends].” (1 Corinthians 13:8 AMPC). His infinite love for us is also

intimate and unique.

Ephesians 3:17-19 reminds us to have “both feet planted firmly on love” so we “will be

able to take in the extravagant dimensions of Christ’s love. Reach out and experience

the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! Live a full life, full in

the fullness of God.” (Ephesians 3:17-19 MSG)

Realizing His love for us begins with a personal relationship with God unlike no other

relationship we may have ever experienced. God has a unique kind of love for us. It is

unconditional (not based upon meeting certain conditions). God loves us because He

loves us. We are God's One-of-a-Kind Valentine. God loves us, even more than we love

our self. You are His One-of-a-Kind Valentine! “You are special to Him and He loves

you” (Isaiah 43:4).

May your heart be filled with God's love on Valentine's Day and always,

Cindy
