Rhapsody of Realities – 11th August 2025 MESSAGE
Some people interpret love according to feelings, emotions or outward appearance. But true love isn’t defined by human emotions or affections because love is the nature of God. Therefore, it’s only when you see through the eyes of God that you can truly recognize and appreciate the true value of others.
That was what happened when God gave Jesus for the salvation of humanity. He saw our true value. The Bible says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). He didn’t love the world of things, buildings, or nature; He loved the world of men despite their unbelief, mockery and wickedness.
No wonder the Bible says in Romans 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” The Bible says “…God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them…” (2 Corinthians5:19 NIV). That’s the same life and nature He’s given you; you’re to love others in spite of what they do or how they look. See and appreciate their true value.
That’s what Jesus saw, and that’s what He’s raising us to understand and apply. If God would love the sinner so much, how much more should we love those who are in Christ with us? That’s why He says, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another” (John 13:34 NIV). He didn’t
say “Love one another, as long as they’re lovable.”
You’re to love even those who don’t reciprocate your love. Their rejection shouldn’t stop your love. This is the God-kind of love; it’s unconditional. It sees and appreciates the true value of others.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for your love that sees beyond outward appearances and actions. I see the true value of people, and I love them the way you do. I walk in this divine love, extending grace and kindness to all, just as you have loved me. Thank you for teaching me to love like you and bring many to the knowledge of your truth, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
