Amazing Love

One of the most amazing things in this world is the love that God has for us. His love is the same every day and never changes. He loves you more than you can imagine. Our brains find this truth hard to grasp. We look at all our faults and shortcomings, but our Father God looks at us with such love, compassion, mercy, and grace. He showed His love by sending His only son to die for you so you could have eternal life and become His child.

I want to encourage you today that you are never alone, never unloved. No matter where you are in your life today, whether it’s good, bad, or just ugly, God loves you. Take a moment to absorb this truth. He truly loves you. Let this truth comfort you and make you want to be a better person, to rise against all adversaries and shout “I am loved!”

People’s love may come and go, but God’s love is unchanging. There is nothing you can do to change this. He will always love you. He knows you aren’t perfect, but He has a plan for that. He wants to help you with every step of your day, be in every situation you find yourself in, guide and lead you out of your troubles, showing you a better path.

I don’t know about you, but this overwhelms me. That God loves me! It makes me want to shout and surrender myself more to Him. Surely someone who loves me that much would have my back and never guide me wrong. Wouldn’t I be a fool not to appreciate this love and allow it to control my life?

“We love because God first loved us.” 1 John 4:19
