THE VOLCANO OF LOVE

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: “Take delight in the Lord and he will give you your hearts desires.” Psalm 37:4

TODAY’S MESSAGE: The love of Jesus is like a volcano that has erupted. It slowly flows down from God and flows into the hearts of those in its way. There is nothing that can slow it down or stop it. It just comes closer and closer to those who will accept it. Many of us have never experienced a volcano. However, we have seen the effects that happen during such a great calamity. The difference between a volcano and the love of God is the purpose behind each. One is to destroy, and the other is to show mercy and to give blessings. Beyond that they are much alike. They both can move slowly, and both overcome the things and the people who stand in their way.

If we take delight in our Lord, he will bless us beyond measure. We will be able to stand before him in prayer with confidence and peace of mind. We will have the assurance that when we pray, he will hear us and answer us. We will be forgiven of our sins, and he will help us to overcome our disobedience and faults that plague us. As his love overwhelms us, we will feel the warm loving arms of our God begin to protect us and keep us from harm. His love will give us the ability to love others and not become a hindrance, but instead, become a pathway to salvation and a tool of our living God in heaven. God’s love is warm and welcoming. Just like a volcano, some of us have never experienced it. We must understand that his love continues to slowly move toward us and that as long as we run from it, we will never have a chance to feel his warm and loving arms around us. Instead of running from his love we should run toward it. It is our salvation and our protection. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
