260322 Unique Love

In different areas of our lives, we can easily become one of many: one of many students, employees, citizens, customers, residents, etc. But to God, we each hold a unique place in His heart and He desires to relate to us in a way that can’t be replicated or replaced. When we recognize this about our relationship with God, it also becomes easier to love others in the same way that God loves them—not generally, but individually. Gomer was not just another prostitute, she was someone deeply loved by God, and Hosea was invited to share in this love. Epaphroditus was not just another worker to God, and neither was he to Paul. Sharing in God’s unique love for others opens up a door to intimacy that would not otherwise be possible.
