God never turns back on us
God chose to disclose divine love, in Jesus Christ. Christ was the visible image of the invisible God. His life and ministry and death and resurrection was a way God showed us the extent of holy love.
Love is a key nature of God. The bible says it: God is love. And in Jesus we can learn about the nature of that love, in the way Jesus gives himself: in ministry to others, and even in giving himself as sacrifice and covenant with us. Death on a cross.
That's the nature of God's love. That's how far God will take that love for us: to the point of no turning back.
Jesus doesn't just love us a little bit. Jesus cares about us so much, that he gives himself to the point of no turning back. He goes all the way.
When we try to open our own hearts to the love of God, that it may flow in and through us to others, we can learn a lot from Jesus - the visible image of who God is and what God's like.
We can learn that devotion (to God and to others) is about opening up to the flow and the power of love... and giving ourselves... really giving ourselves to others and to our God.
It's a wonderful thing that wherever we go, through the good times and the very hard times, God does not give up on us. God does not turn back. God wants to be there for us, waits for us, cares about us even when we mess up. God goes all the way.
