Our reading today beautifully encapsulates the cornerstone of Christian faith - God's unmatched love towards us that led Him to send His only Son as atonement for our sins. We may often get caught up with the term 'love' as presented by the world, but today's scripture offers us a different perspective on what authentic love truly looks like.

It is not based on our deeds or our capability to reciprocate; instead, it's freely given to us, unearned and undeserved. This divine love shows us that God initiated the process. He saw us in our brokenness, and instead of letting us perish, He paid our debt through His own Son.

Each day we struggle to love others perfectly, yet the steadfast love of God never wavers. Let this truth sink into your heart today. Allow it to challenge and change you. May it lead you to reflect His incredible love to those around you and live with gratitude for the astounding sacrifice made on your behalf.
