Hello there!
How are you today?
Do you know who loves you most?
I’m sure you are probably thinking of your family members, spouse or children or even your loved ones right now, right?
But guess what?
None of them can love you enough
Don’t start frowning now. Let me tell you why?
Because they can let you down.
I bet you knew that right? Or did you?
Yes even if they haven’t right now, there’s a possibility that they can, so why rely or expect so much from people that don’t have the power to love you the most?
I’m going to point you in the direction of the one loves you the most! And will never let you down.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life
Think about this for a second
When someone does something for you, do you always feel like you have to pay them back? I know I do
But with God, there is none of this
HE LOVES YOU! And no you don’t owe him for loving you. He just loves you.
Why does God love you so much?
-Ephesian 1 v 5 : Long before he laid down the earth’s foundation, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole by his love.
-John 4 v 8-10 : God is love. His nature is love and he pours out his love on us even when we don’t deserve it.
You are God’s most intelligent creation
He gave you the emotion and reasoning to understand how much he loves you
When he created you, he said this is good. You are good!
God doesn't just love you, He likes you!
Sometimes, you mess up and you have to beg human beings to forgive you but do you know you don’t have to always beg God to forgive you?
Even when one thing led to another and you lost touch with God, he had another plan that will help you and he never stopped loving you (Ephesians 2v1-2)
He already forgave you a long time ago. When his son died on the cross for you, he took away ALL your sins. The one you committed yesterday, the one you’re committing now and even the sin you’ll commit tomorrow.
How amazing!
When someone loves you this much, how do you respond? With even more love right?
Romans 5v8 - Even when we were still sinners, God loved us.
Think about this for a second,
If you do something really terrible to your parent or spouse or even anyone you love, you’ll expect them to be angry with you right?
What if immediately after you annoy them, they buy you a gift you have always wanted without you asking? You’ll be surprised right? Why? Because you did not deserve it.
So how will you react to this?
That’s exactly what God did for us !
So when you think that you are a sinner and God can never love you, remember that God never stopped loving you and that is why he sent Jesus to die (Luke 23:34). Jesus did not die to change God’s mind about you, he died to change your mind about God.
NOTHING you ever do will make God hate you.
-His nature is love
-He is definitely not happy when you sin, but instead of saying “get out of my presence” he is saying “come, I love you, I don’t want you to sin again so I’ll show you how with my spirit . I love you.
The one that loves you most is calling, how are you going to respond?
