His Banner Over Me Is Love

I remember in Sunday School a song we used to always sing called His Banner Over Me Is Love. It has a clear message that God loves us unconditionally and it is like if He could wave a banner over our heads 24/7 He absolutely would. The banner would broadcast His pure, never ending love for us for all to see. He is that crazy about you and me.

You see, God's love is a form of love that you cannot experience anywhere else. It is pure and called agape love.

Through a quick internet search, agape love is explained this way. It is a Greek word that represents the highest form of selfless, unconditional love there is.  It is not dependent on what a person is or does, but simply a love that loves someone exactly the way he or she is, period.

Agape love is an unfamiliar concept it seems these days. Instead many people feel they must earn love, and feel often fearful of falling from grace and losing love from the ones they care about most. Many people I have interacted with have a hard time believing that God could love them at all, let alone unconditionally. 

I have chatted with people that have felt that they have sinned too much, have made too many mistakes or poor choices, or fallen so far off the beaten path that there was no hope for them. They are "too far gone" in their eyes.

If you are one of those people I cannot stress enough how absolutely wrong that thinking is. Jesus is here for all of us. He cares about all of us, not an elite few.

There are only two types of people as my beloved Grandpa Sudds would say: sinners and sinners saved by grace.  We are ALL deserving of his agape love, no matter who we are or what we have done.

Are you a Christ follower my friend? Do you even realize how much Jesus longs to have a relationship with YOU? He could have made us all little robots, who automatically served Him but instead He gave us freewill. He wants us to come to Him freely, unreservedly and accept this new life and love that only He offers.

Won't you accept Him as the Lord of your life today and experience a life and love like you have never known? He is waiting for you with open arms. Please don't wait any longer.

Tuck that in your heart today ❤️and repeat this prayer below if you would like to become a follower of Jesus. 

Dear Jesus,
I admit that I am a sinner. I believe that you are God and are able to forgive me of my sins. I ask you to forgive me of my sins and become my personal saviour. Come into my heart and change me into the person I am meant to be. Help me to live for you from this day forward. Thank you for coming into my life and thank you for loving me as I am.

​In Jesus's name, 

Amen
​
Sending you a virtual hug,

Dana
