Fully Loved

ROMANS 5:8 NKJ “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Too often we go through life wandering from person to person, possession to possession, and success to success, trying to find the love we long to experience.  But God has proven His love for you. So, believe it. God died in your place suffering the punishment for sin that you deserved, so you could go free. God was more willing to suffer Himself than to see you suffer (1 John 4:9-10). Of course, the devil constantly tries to get you to doubt that God loves you. That is why you must rely on what the Bible says and not what your feelings or circumstances may tell you. You do not desire pain or loss.

So, it is with God. He desires good for you even more than you do. And He demonstrated at Calvary that He would put your interest before His own. There are at least two reasons why God loves you so much. First, it is His nature to love. The Bible says that God is love (1 John 4:8). Love is the word that best describes God’s nature. Second, you are God’s creation. God loves you just as good natural parents love their offspring. People may not seem very special to others, but to their mother and father they are always special. This should help you understand how God could really love you even though you may not love yourself that much. Also, God sees you as you can be and will become not just as you are now. God has faith in you and in His ability to make you someone special. You should choose to believe what the Bible says: God loves you and He cares about you! 1 Peter 5:7 AMP “Casting the whole of your care — all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all — on Him; for He cares for you affectionately, and cares about you watchfully.”  God fully loves you. Believe it.
