Understanding God's Love (:

QUESTION: how much do you understand God's love for you?

Okay, usually when Pastor say,
"And He died on the cross. That was how much he loved you"
So, is our understanding of God's love only really like that?
is God's love really that shallow?
NOPE (:

At the last supper, peter said he loved Jesus with all his might (after jesus said someone was going to betray him). And Jesus knowing what will happen, said he'll deny Him 3 times. So it's like this: peter thought he loved Him with all his might because there was no trials then. When Jesus was going to the cross, he denied Him. Why? because he doesnt understand the depth of God's love then. Because Peter was the "see to believe" type then. when his "see"(Jesus) was gone, and was going to die, his fatih suddenly shatter and it was gone. Thus he denied Him 3 times.

Now, you must be asking what does it have to do with the question posted.

Well, if we really understand God's love in depth and not the simple "oh-He-died-on-the-cross-therefore-He-loved-me" kind of thinking, no matter what trials we go through, our faith will not shatter because we really know HOW MUCH HE LOVED US (: We'll Stay firm. So dont let any trials murder you of your destiny! because His love is really beyond our imagination!

Anyway, i hope this encourages you out there and send you thinking "really HOW MUCH He really loves us" (:
