Saturday, September 27

The love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy spirit, which was given to us.—Rom. 5:5.

 

Notice the expression “poured out” in the text above. One reference work describes it as “come upon us like a stream.” What a powerful image to highlight the abundance of Jehovah’s love for the anointed! The anointed know that they are “loved by God.” (Jude 1) The apostle John expressed their feelings when he wrote: “See what sort of love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God!” (1 John 3:1) Is Jehovah’s love limited to the anointed? No, Jehovah has proved his love for all of us. What is the greatest confirmation of Jehovah’s love? The ransom—the most extraordinary act of love in the universe!—John 3:16; Rom. 5:8. w24.01 28 ¶9-10

Jehovah’s love isn’t rationed; it crashes in like a river at flood stage. The ransom proves it — unstoppable, undeserved, overwhelming. Stand still, and let that current carry your heart.

I enjoyed rereading the Watchtower. One of my favorite verses is included, Jer. 31:3.

Conclusion of the study, I quote: "In response to his love, do not hesitate to exclaim: 'I love Jehovah'!" (Ps. 116:1).

I have no hesitation: "I love Jehovah' !
