God Really Does Love You
1 JOHN 3:1 NIV
1 How great is the love the Father has
lavished on us, that we
should be called children of God! And
that is what we are! The
reason the world does not know us is
that it did not know him.
Yes, you have heard it before. No, you
don't understand it yet.
Ephesians 3 mentions praying that
believers would know the love
of Christ -- which is really beyond
knowledge. In other words,
you need a divine revelation to
understand God's love for you.
EPHESIANS 3:19 ICB
19 Christ's love is greater than any
person can ever know. But
I pray that you will be able to know
that love. Then you can be
filled with the fullness of God.
Yes, you know that Jesus died for you,
that God watches over
you, protects you and provides for you.
But that does not
really give you insight into how God
feels about you. He could
do all that just because He felt
obligated to take care of you
because He created you.
No. That is not the whole story. God
LOVES you.
"But why would God love me? I don't even
love myself" you may
say. Well, pray for a divine revelation
-- that is really the
only way to know.
However, for those of you who are
parents, this may help give
you a little insight. Think about the
love you have for your
children. Can you adequately communicate
how you feel to them?
Well, our human love for our children is
just a shadow of God's
love for you, as His child. |
