You have probably noticed that I always end my articles and blogs with the phrase “You are loved .” God loves you! It's true! Look no further than the cross at Calvary. He loves you with an unwavering, jealous, and unfiltered love! Nothing you do, or say, or think, can ever change the FACT that He loves you with an unconditional love.
John, the beloved apostle, tells us that "God IS Love" (I John 4:8). In other words, He is the embodiment of that concept. You can't talk about love without recognizing God. Love is God and God is LOVE. Don't let Satan, or demons, or humans convince you of anything else. THE LORD.... LOVES... YOU! He always has and always will. That’s a promise.
We also need to consider how to love others with that same authentic and genuine love. We need to love like God (John 3:16). John said, “And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment” (I John 3:23). If you have accepted God's love, and walk in the faith, you should share love with others.
God's Word says, "The Lord looks after those who fear Him, those who put their hope in His love." (Psalms 33:18) The Lord loves you. If you walk close enough to Him....He will reveal that His goal to save you, bless you, and give you something greater than life.... eternal life!
Here is the bottom line... First, know that God loves you. Second, know that God loves everyone around you. AND... Third, share the love of God with everyone you meet. Be God's hands and feet. Let's show the world the love of God! Have a GREAT week!
You are loved!
