Because of Love

Michelle Swift sang a song entitled “Because of Love.” In it, she sings:


Because of love He left His throne
And made this earth His home
He did it willingly
For you and me
With Heaven left behind
He came to save mankind
From sin and shame
He could have walked away
But instead He chose to stay
Upon a tree and take
A crown of thorns for me
Because of love…

She then moves into the chorus. I really love that song – especially at this time of year. We are done with Valentine’s Day where proclamations of love were made and now we are steaming full-speed ahead towards to the time of year where we pause to celebrate and remember the resurrection of Christ. He did it all for us to be reconciled to the Father. He did it because of love. Genuine love.

As I look now at my life, I can see those “because of love” moments. I can see where His hand of protection has been in my life and where it is yet still. No one can love us like our Savior. And, no one has done as much to win our love as our Savior. He is our example of real love.

I pray today, that no matter what your situations and circumstances may be that you will pause and look at those “because of love” moments in your life. I guarantee that you will be humbled in His presence and even more thankful for His love.
