I Am Loved By God Always

Monday April 1, 2024
 

We all long to experience love from our family, friends, and the people we respect.  Some of us think that we need to behave in a certain way or become a certain type of person, so we can earn love from others. We are sure that when others love us we will feel happy and contented. 

God’s love for us is quite different from what we think.  It is not influenced by certain things we do for Him because God’s love is based on who He is, which is love.  There is something constant and safe in God’s love.  It is a love that will never fail us. 

This is real love. It is not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. We are still alive because the Lord’s faithful love never ends. Every morning he shows it in new ways! You are so very true and loyal! I say to myself, “The Lord is my God, and I trust him.”  (1 John 4:10 NLT, Lamentations 3:22-24 ERV) 

We never have to worry if we are good enough for God. While God may not approve of some of our actions, His love is not an emotion that will change with circumstances that we create. He loves us when we are at our worst. His love is constant. When God looks at us, He sees us through His eyes of love.  If we believe in the finished work of Jesus, repent of our sins, and allow God to work in our lives, God sees us as we will become.

The real question for us to ask ourselves is not whether God loves us or not but whether we have opened our hearts to God and invited Him into our life.  If we choose to give our will and life over to the care of God we can experience God’s love and grow strong in it each day.  

Where we once felt dead inside because of sin, God’s Holy Spirit now brings us to life.  When God lives in us, His love comes alive in our hearts.  We then have the full assurance that absolutely nothing can separate us from God’s love. 

… nothing now, nothing in the future, no powers, nothing above us or nothing below us—nothing in the whole created world—will ever be able to separate us from the love God has shown us in Christ Jesus our Lord.  (Romans 8:39 ERV)

Prayer:  Lord Jesus, Thank You that You paid my sin debt in full.  Come into my heart.  Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and Your love which You have promised will never fail me.  Amen
