HE will not hold back

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

A certain medieval monk announced he would be preaching next Sunday evening on "The Love of God." As the shadows fell and the light ceased to come in through the cathedral windows, the congregation gathered. In the darkness of the altar, the monk lighted a candle and carried it to the crucifix. First of all, he illumined the crown of thorns, next, the two wounded hands, then the marks of the spear wound. In the hush that fell, he blew out the candle and left the chancel. There was nothing else to say.

The Love of God is such a deep and an amazing topic to realize the greatness of our God. At the end of it, one will simply realize that HE is so amazing that you and I can’t just comprehend it fully. But for sure we can understand HIM effectively. Thats when Bible reminds us that God the Father gave the best in the heaven for you and me. HE kept nothing for HIMSELF but gave JESUS that HE may die on the cross for the forgiveness  of our sin and to attain a new life of abundance.

When HE has given us the best, will HE hold back and good things from us. Some of us are so low in confidence regarding the fact that I don't have this, I don't have that and I am really unfortunate to have missed out on so many things. But let us be encouraged by the powerful reminder that when HE has given us the best, HE will not hold back any good thing from us. HE will not hold back.
