Did You Know that God Loves You?
We are created to love and be loved. People have a craving, and a longing, and a desire in their hearts to be loved. God made us that way. Many people believe that God loves the world and that He loves Jesus, but they have a hard time believing that God loves them.
And this is the key: that you understand that God wants a personal relationship with you. That He cares about you. That He understands your pain. That He desires to comfort and love you.
Ps 139:1,2 says:
"O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit or stand. When far away you know my every thought."
The Living Bible
If God knows your every thought, He know your every emotion.
God's unconditional love for us is difficult for us to understand. And the reason for that is most of us experienced a kind of love that is has failed us on some level. Some of us have heard the words, "Till death due us part," only to find it was really "Till I found somebody new." So we assign those same feelings to God and we don't believe that He can love us unconditionally.
But that is not how God feels about His creation - you and me. God's love for us is unwavering and absolute!
John 3:16 says
"This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life."
The Message Bible
He loves you so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross, so that you can bridge the gap between Him and you. It's a simple message, but a very powerful one.
And it will change your life forever.
