The greatest story you will ever know is the story of God’s love. Genesis reveals that since the beginning of the world, God created you for love. And we need to be intentional about pursuing God’s love in our lives. Why? Romans 8:39 says that nothing in the sky above or the earth below can separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus.
You and I were designed not just to be filled up with God’s love, but to overflow with it. We pursue God’s love not only, so we’ll love God more, but so that we’ll love others more, too.
Why pursue God’s love? Because it invites us to shift our focus, the way we see ourselves, others, the situations we face, and God. I think one of the most significant examples of this is found in the first few chapters of Genesis.
