The love of God is a wonderful thing, transcending all that we know. It is not perceivable by our senses or conceived entirely in our thoughts. It is something so great that it must be experienced for oneself, then you shall truly know what this love is and what it truly represents. The Bible says that we can not even conceive in our minds what God has in store for us (1 Cor. 2:9-10), but that these things are revealed (made known, unveiled) unto us by the Holy Spirit which He has graciously given unto us. I believe it is the same for the wonderful love of God. Inconceivable by natural means, but attainable through the Spirit of God.
The Spirit of God and the love that is brought through that blessed Spirit is something to be experienced. It can not be fully explained by words, nor reasoned by the mind. Yes, the Bible does speak these words, but these words must be made alive by the One Who gave them, the One to whom all glory is due, then you will see truly what these words mean and speak.
So let the Spirit and the love of God speak to your heart, for it will set you free. It will raise you above the world, above all your past and all your hurt. It will teach you to be kind and gentle, not just to the ones that you love, but unto all. And you will also be blessed with the blessed peace that the Spirit brings with it. This peace is again beyond our knowing or understanding (Phil. 4:7). You could understand all the mysteries of the world and not have this kind of peace nor could I explain it to you with words to be understood, but it is truly a gift from God received through faith in the Son, in the Word, in the Lord God Almighty Himself. What blessed peace this is.
So when we look back to the cross, we are calmly reminded of God’s love. The love that shall never leave us nor forsake (Heb. 13:5), that shall never separate us or turn against us (Rom. 8:5), that shall never leave us stranded and without hope, that shall never abandon us, nor turn away. This love reminds us of Him, and as we turn our eyes upon Him we see the glorious hope that is set before us and we learn of His love for us. We see it in the face of the Son. Warm, and never to be forgotten.
A peace and a love that warms us heart and soul. A love and a warmth that lifts our spirits and souls to new heights we never could have imagined. We pray for this blessed peace, for this joy, for this satisfaction that fills our souls and takes us to new heights. This is the love of Jesus, and it is real, for you and me. Poured out on a cross 2000 years ago, it still crys out through the blood stained hands and the whips on His back. Poor and blood beaten, He did it all, and He gave it all, for you and for me. That we might know Him, and the fullness of His suffering and glory. That we might be like Him. The unrighteous for the righteous. The blameless for the blameable. One shot that He took for you and for me. To all that would believe upon His glorious Name. That He might take them to new heights and depths. That we might cry His Name and sing His praise to the glory of the one and only Begotten. The one who poured out His life and gave it all for you and me. Rest in His peace and His glorious love. This is Jesus, and He is you, and you are me. God bless!
John 3:16 says it all.
I certainly agree. I wrote a post about God’s love as well here:

God bless you more!
