Love Breaks All Barriers

Love Breaks All Barriers

Steve likes Samantha. But Samantha is in love with Jeremy. However Jeremy is infatuated with Sophie, on the other hand Sophie only has eyes for Steve.  It’s a complicated world we live in right? I am sure that this same thing has happened to you. You are attracted to someone but that someone simply doesn’t like you back because he/she likes someone else, yet you have someone around you that is willing to give the world for you.

The conversation between a young man and his friend who has been married for 15+ years went something like this, “I like her very much, you know? But I don’t think she likes me back. She is very beautiful, smart, sweet, happy, she knows what she wants, confident, and a godly woman. Every time she smiles I can feel my heart race a bit. I’m attracted to her very much, but I haven’t told her anything because I don’t think I have a chance.” The gentleman looked straight at the young man’s eyes, and with a smile, he said, “Son, love breaks all barriers.”

In our spiritual journey very often we find ourselves in similar situations. For God deeply desired to have a close relationship with you and me, he loved us so much, that He declared His love and made it public by sending His one and only Son. Yet many of us like, are in love, infatuated, and only have eyes for every one else but for God. And we simply ignore the awesome, great, indescribable, pure, true, and amazing love that He has for you and I.

“Israel failed to destroy the nations in the land, as the Lord had commanded them.

Instead, they mingled among the pagans
and adopted their evil customs. They worshiped their idols, 
which led to their downfall. They even sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to the demons. They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters. By sacrificing them to the idols of Canaan they polluted the land with murder. They defiled themselves by their evil deeds,
and their love of idols was adultery in the Lord’s sight” (Psalm 106:35-39).

But you know what? “Even so, He pitied them in their distress and listened to their cries… because of His UNFAILING LOVE.”

I don’t know what customs you have adopted, what idols you are worshipping, what your downfalls are, and who you are begging for crumbs of love… But I do know this: He loves you with an unfailing love, and through this love He is willing to forgive your past, give you a fresh new life and the gift of salvation, and start the love relationship you have always been looking for.

Do you know why? Because Love Breaks All Barriers!

Blessings!
