God loves us so much that even while we were living in our sinful ways, He came and made us alive with Christ. God’s love is not like our love. The love we have for others can be conditional. If someone loves us and treats us with respect, we love them back. If they are disrespectful and unloving, we often walk away from that relationship. God loved us first and He initiated a relationship with us while we were at our very worst. Stop trying to earn God’s love. You already have it. Let Him love you today. Receive His unconditional love. You cannot give what you have not first received yourself. RECEIVE IT!
Prayer – God, I thank You for Your unconditional love. I ask You today that You help me to receive that love. Fill me with the confidence of knowing that I am loved and accepted by You. Give me a fresh revelation of the power of Your cross. Help me to see myself as you see me. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
“The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.””
Zephaniah 3:17
“Oh, give thanks to the God of heaven! For His mercy endures forever.”
Psalms 136:26
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8
“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),”
Ephesians 2:4-5
“In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”
I John 4:9-11
