God's love

John 3: 35 The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.

In this verse, John the Baptist gave the testimony to how God loves the Son. Everything on Earth is under the ownership and authority of the beloved Son.

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.

This famous verse, however, tells us that God so loved the world (mans on earth) that He is willing to sacrifice His beloved Son for them to have eternal life. Comparing the two verses, we are convinced that God loves human beings than His beloved Son.

If God asks you today, 'Do you love me more than these (probably refers to something very important in your heart)?', like what Jesus did to Peter by the Sea of Tiberias. Can you answer to God 'I love these more than you'?

Be His solution

By God’s design, there lies in wait for you
Important work that no one else can do.
Just as the planets find their paths through space,
You too must grow to fill your proper place. —Thayer

When God shows you a problem, He may ask you to be His solution.
