Devotion

All Encompassing Love
For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. --- Romans 14:7-9

Can you point me to a human being who can set planets in the universe, and create a world and all that is in it out of formless and empty darkness? Where is an individual who can evolve humanity and all the physical, social, demographical, economical, and other complexities it beholds? Show me a person who has a master plan that guarantees the best of provisions for every single life that passes through this world?  You're right. There is no such human being capable of doing all these things. So that leaves us with...God. He is the One Who began all of creation, and has done everything with an encompassing love in mind for every single one of His children! No matter what or how we think - our lives are not our own. We belong to God, and until we wake up and rejoice for what Jesus' suffering on that rugged cross has really done for us - we'll remain selfish. We can't receive the fullness of God's love for us, and we can't experience the true power of God's love between one another until we move out of our way, and let Love have His way!
