One of our basic needs is to be loved. That’s where our
God-need comes in. God knows we need love. God provides that love – not because
we deserve love, but simply because God wants to love us. We don't have to be
perfect to be loved. God loves us not because we are perfect. The truth is He
loves us to make us perfect. He loves us because He is Love. But sadly, very
few people really take that love for what it is, a free and unconditional gift.
Most of us have been trained to earn love.
God loves you because He chooses to love and for no other reason. His love is not dependent upon finding something in you that merits His love. His love is without conditions — it is unconditional. God’s love to you is unconditional because you are the object of His love. It is eternal love based upon an eternal choice and can never be destroyed or eradicated.
At this moment, you may be very discouraged about life. Life
may now appear to you as an endless, tragic treadmill, not really worth living
or having. Perhaps you are saying, right now, life holds nothing for me -- it
is only a bum rap, a lousy trip. Nobody loves me and nobody cares if I live or
die.
In the midst of your despair, and your doubt, and frustration, and
hopelessness, I want you to know that God loves you and really cares for you.
Since God made you like himself, then your life must have tremendous meaning, destiny,
and purpose. Jesus said that He came that we may have life, and have it more
abundantly. God wants us to be happy and fulfilled. The truth is the closer you
get to God, the more you can enjoy your life. God Loves you and cares for you.
The transformation process may be painful, but it is always
motivated by God's love for you. God loves you just the way you are, but He
refuses to leave you that way. He wants you to be transformed into what you
were created to be and live life to the fullest.
You don't have to be perfect to be loved. God loves you not
because you are perfect. He loves you to make you perfect. He loves you because
He is Love. God loves you and sees you for who you are and treasure your value
with eyes of compassion rather than judgment.
God's love transcends the human definition of love to a
point that is hard for us to comprehend. God doesn't love us because we're
lovable. God doesn't love us because we make Him feel good. God loves us
because God is LOVE. He created us to have a loving relationship with Him
because He is LOVE.
Unless you believe God loves you and has a wonderful plan
for your life, you can't trust in him completely.
We are all hurt as we journey through this life. When we
suffer and hurt deeply, when life seems unfair and brutal, in order to survive
we must believe that God loves us and He has a beautiful ending for us.
God loves you no matter what your sin history and darkness.
He wants to redeem you from sinful tendencies that keep you from responding freely
to His love. God wants to heal and redeem all your pain. He wants you to
experience His love and overflow with His blessings. He wants you to be so
blessed that everyone around you can see His goodness on you.
I don't know why we must go through painful state in our
lives, but I believe God loves us and has plans for us – plans to prosper us
and not to harm us, plans to give us hope and a future. So, if we believe that
God is working us, our tears and anguish will cease. I believe in order to give
us His likeness, God uses our pain to make the most beautiful pearls and the
most expensive diamonds.
Right now, you may be wondering why God’s testing you, and
why He’s making life so hard for you. God is making you stronger and knows that
you’re already strong enough to handle anything he throws at you. Stay strong
and know that God loves you. God cares about you more than you could ever
possible know. Your pain and heart ache is only temporary.
God loves you because He chooses to love and for no other reason. His love is not dependent upon finding something in you that merits His love. His love is without conditions — it is unconditional. God’s love to you is unconditional because you are the object of His love. It is eternal love based upon an eternal choice and can never be destroyed or eradicated.
God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were
yet sinners. God loves us, not because we are lovable. The miracle of God's
love is that He loves us anyway. He doesn't love you because you are good. He
loves you to make you good.
God loves you with an indescribable love, a love so great
you can enter his presence with abundant joy. You are always good enough for
Him to love you.
