Last night I was just kind of idly flipping through Psalms when I reached the part of Psalm 57 where David says “God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.” And it just kinda hit me where for a moment I said to myself “You know, God is love.” Which wasn’t particularly profound, but it reminded me of the immensity of all that God has done and will do for me. Because God doesn’t just send whatever angels He can muster to help us. He doesn’t send help begrudgingly. He isn’t just sitting in heaven thinking “well if he’d listen to me he wouldn’t need my help again” or “if she hadn’t done what I told her not to she wouldn’t be in this situation.” He send us His love - He sends us Himself. And I think it hit me more than usual because it’s just fascinating to me that the Creator of the universe, the One true God would care so deeply for those He has made. And He loves us so deeply that He holds nothing back from us. He willingly laid down His life, sent Himself to save us when nothing else could.
So here’s a reminder that He cares for you beyond measure. Whatever you’re going through today, He is here, He is listening, and He is longing to help you. He is sending His love to come to your aid - He is love - He is sending you Himself. And He is the One who nothing will stand against. He is the One who can heal any affliction, save from any sin, turn around any situation, change any heart. So rest in that peace today. When you call out to your God, He isn’t just sending whatever He can to help you, He isn’t just checking you and your cry of help off of a list. He is stepping off of His throne, taking up the cross that was rightfully yours, and He is sending you Himself.
