Before we knew him, before we "asked him to come into our hearts," before we did anything for him, HE FIRST LOVED US.
There are huge implications in this.
This is first love. It's not tied at all to anything we do, anything we don't do, or anything we should do. We cannot shake this first love, we cannot escape it. All other love we receive in life is, at some level, conditional. The love we get from parents, husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, friends, and everyone else has conditions built into it... there are things we can do to diminish those loves...
BUT NOT WITH JESUS. HE LOVED US FIRST.
Lord God, make this a known and lived in reality for me. Make this my identity.
