Wonders of His Love

[Rob Griepentrog]

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love. (Final verse of Joy to the World)

God's love is wondrous, and is most often witnessed, received, and appreciated when we stop our busy lives to still ourselves before Him.  His love is on full display throughout His creation, and should especially be expressed in and through His children. 

But few Christians devote time into sharing that love through prayer or by evangelizing the lost.  If you find yourself in that category more than you wish, let me offer a handful of ideas to offer in prayer.

1. Ask the Lord to assess your love for Him and for others.  Then, ask Him to grow your love for Him and others to the point where you can't help but tell others about the wonders of His love.

2. Thank God for prayer, and then ask Him to grow a passion for prayer and winning the lost within your heart and life.  Worship God through prayer for the wonders of His love.

 

3. Ask the Lord to bring to your mind a specific person, or handful of people you know who need to hear the gospel.  Once that person, or those people come to mind, write their names down, and immediately begin to ask God to prepare their hearts to receive the gospel.  Then ask Him to bring you, and/or others to them to present the gospel (and the wonders of His love).  Ask the Holy Spirit to fill and help you do so!

4. Worship God for the wonders of His love, and especially thank Him as He brings those He as you praying for to faith in Jesus Christ.

He rules the world with truth and grace.  Let us express, and point others to see the wonders of His love!
