From today’s Scripture: “For our sake he made him to be sin who did not know sin, so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.”—2 Cor 5:21

One time after watching a romantic movie, I thought to myself, I wish there was a book or movie that showed God’s relationship with us like a love story. But, there is. The Bible is one long love letter from God to us. It shows his faithfulness to us throughout all of history. It proves how God loves us in the midst of our weaknesses and how he’s always there for us even when we forget he is. He always had a plan to bring us back in relationship with him after we went astray. Solely because of his love for us did he give his only Son to die for our sins. Can there be a more beautiful love story?

Let us pray: Lord God, thank you for loving me. I pray today that I know more deeply your love for me in my head and in my heart. Help me to give that same love to others.
