Hello, everyone! I hope you all are having a great week! I am here to encourage you again!
God's love has been on my heart lately. I had been reading all about in my daily Bible reading in the end of Psalms, and it's been something that I have been thinking about a lot.
God loves you. He loves you so, so much. Even when you feel like you have no one on this earth that could possibly love you, know that there is a God up in heaven who loves you more than you will ever know. His love is loyal, constant, forever, voluntary, immeasurable, indestructible, and all for you. His love is faithful. There is a scripture in 1 John 4 that says God is love. God is love. The way an article I found describes this saying, is that every description of love in the Bible, is something that God is. I hope that makes sense. It is kind of hard to describe.
Scripture says that love is patient, kind, it doesn't envy, it isn't boastful, or proud, it's not rude, or self-seeking, it's not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. It protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres. Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 14:4-8) This is God's description of love, and because God is love, it is also a description of Him. God is patient, kind, He doesn't envy, doesn't boast, isn't proud, rude, or self-seeking. He protects, trusts, and hopes. God never fails.
God's love to you is forever faithful. Love is an intense, deep feeling of affection. Today, I'm going to give you some scriptures on God's love, because His words are true, still to this day, even though they were written thousands of years ago. "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." (Luke 21:33)
Psalm 147:3-9, 11
3. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
4. He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them.
5. The Lord our God is great, vast in power; His understanding is infinite.
6. The Lord helps the afflicted but brings the wicked to the ground.
7. Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; play the lyre to our God,
8. who covers the sky with clouds, prepares rain for the earth, and causes grass to grow on the hills.
9. He provides the animals with their food, and the young ravens, what they cry for.
11. The Lord values those who fear him, those who put their hope in His faithful love.
Romans 5:8
8. But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us!
1 John 3:1
1. See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
I'll tell you again, God loves you very, very much. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Remember, you are loved. You are cherished. You are not alone.
