Do you live feeling loved?
Do you go around in your daily life believing every single person around you absolutely loves you?
If you asked me that yesterday, I would say no and if you ask me that today I would also say no. Why, because people don’t love everyone. They might say they do but do they really. Do you love everyone constantly?
Now I ask the same question but instead of everyone around you, what about God?
Do you believe that God loves the person you are right now?
If you asked me when I was having a bad day and was hateful to people, I would say “of course not, I’m being a terrible person.” But if you asked me when I was so friendly and acting loving to everyone around me, I would say of course He does, look at all the good I’m doing and being.
But what if I said God loves you on both days the same.
How would that make you feel?
“Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in steadfast love. He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins
into the depths of the sea. You will show faithfulness to Jacob and steadfast love to Abraham, as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.”
Micah 7:18-20
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.”
John 15:9-11
“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:37-39
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.”
Ephesians 1:3-6
