DAILY READINGS: Exodus 13 to 14:4; Psalms 47-48; Acts 7:1-29
The LORD did not set his love upon you… because ye were more in number than any people… But because the LORD loved you. Deuteronomy 7:7-8
God loved Israel simply because He loved them! As believers we can apply these words to ourselves. There was and still is nothing good in me which could ever cause God to show me mercy, but He loved me just because He loved me. He loved me in spite of my sin and rebellion! He loved me enough to give His own dear Son to die for me! As we meditate on such amazing love, our only response should be the words of 1 John 4:19, "We love Him because He first loved us." —David Croudace
The love that Jesus had for me, to suffer on the cruel tree,
That I a ransomed soul might be, is more than tongue can tell. —J. E. Hall
