The word “rely” means to have trust or
confidence in. God demonstrates our love for us in so many ways. Every day of
our life is filled with how he loves us but the greatest example of his love is
through his son Jesus. I can’t even imagine being a parent and watching my
child be tortured and brutally be put to death on a cross. God can do anything.
He could have told Jesus “never mind these humans, speak up and defend yourself”
or he could have made the cross turn to dust and the nails become invisible. He
could have stopped his only son from dying on a cross if it were not for the
amazing depth of his love for us. That love is our confidence! If you are ever
feeling doubts, fears or separated in any way from God, look to the cross and
be reminded of God’s amazing love.
Father, it isn’t even possible to convey
with words the feelings of what you did for us. Thank you is not enough. Help
us to show the kind of love you showed us through Jesus. Amen.
1John
4:16 And so we know and
rely on the love God has for us.
