For You bless the godly, O LORD; You surround them with Your shield of love.
Psalm 5:12
There is not one thing that we can compare to God’s love for us and nothing we can measure it by. There is absolutely nothing more powerful than the love He has for us.
His love can; move mountains, heal broken hearts, transform lives, set us free from sin, addiction and shame.
His love for us is so grand, that he sent his only son to die for our sins. He literally left the embrace of his son, in order to save us and have us with him for eternity.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
John 3:16
God loves you simply because he loves you. You don’t have to work for his affection, or get everything perfectly right, before coming to him.
You come to him just as you are and he does the transforming.
Sometimes we might doubt the love God has for us because of a relationship that broke us or because of an event that hurt us or even because of our own bad choices that lead us to doubting it.
Scripture tells is that “God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8 .. That, right there, is true love!
People will fail you, friends will fail you, your workplace might also fail you, but God’s love, will never fail you!
When your finances run out, when your relationship has ended, when you’re alone, feeling depleted, God remains the same.
1 John 4:10 says it best:
“This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us.”
He doesn’t love us because we’re good, or kind or faithful. He loves us because He’s good and kind and faithful.
Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.
Deuteronomy 7:9
But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
Psalm 86:15
When we begin to accept that true love from our Father God, our feelings for Him will begin to change. As we seek to know him better and spend more time meditating on Scripture and seeking his face, our relationship with him becomes more intimate.
Even as it is with any relationship, the more we spend time with someone, the closer and more intimate we become to them.
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.”
Jeremiah 31:3
His is a love without end.
Many Blessings,
