Believe the Love
"And so we know and reply on the love God has for us." 1 John 4:16
One day while praying, I asked God a simple question, "Lord,
what do You want me to tell Your people?"
Without a moment's hesitation, He said: Tell them how much I
love them.
He said it with so much love and compassion that mere words
can't fully express it. For days afterward all I could think of was
1 John 4:16: "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us."
We've read and heard about God's love, but I don't think
many
of us have really believed how much He really loves us. If we did,
it would totally change everything about us and everything
around us.
It's that love that caused Jesus to lay down His life for us
and to experience all the pains
and weaknesses we experience. It's that love that says to us, even when we
feel so un-
worthy, "Come to Me and get what you need. Don't be shy about it. I've been
there. Come
right to Me and receive help."
God is in love with you-so in love, He given you everything
He has! He's given you all
the health, wisdom, prosperity and strength you'll ever need!
"But what about all the terrible things I've done?" you may ask.
That's what His compassion is for! It has taken care of y
our past and covered every sin
and failure you ever had. All you have to do now is accept His love.
Think about 1 John 4:16 over and over. Say it to yourself
again and again. "I believe the
love Jesus has for me." Once it gets down into your heart, you'll never be
the same again.
Talk the Truth "I know and I believe the love God has for me."
