Just the other day my grandmother was talking with my brother Jesse. Although I was taking a mid-term exam in the next room at the time, I still overheard their conversation. She mentioned to Jesse how the sun was like God's love in so many ways. First of all, she told how the sun dispells gloom and makes you feel better. Jesse also mentioned how the sun can bring warmth to a cold day. As they taked about these things, they compared them to God's love. God's love can wipe away the depression or sadness in our lives; it makes us feel better (what a understatement, right?). Our Lord's love can also bring warmth and encouragement to the cold, tough day.
However, there is one very important way in which God's love is different from the sun. Matthew 24:35 says,"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." The sun will eventually be destroyed; however, God will never stop loving His children. Nothing can separate us from His love- no, not even the really dumb things that we consistently do (Rom. 8:35, 38-39). What a encouragement! He loves you and me no matter what.
