God Loves You!

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have an everlasting life.” – John 3:16

You may have heard or seen how people express their love to one another to prove that they are loved. We know this kind of love as Eros. But there is another greater kind of love that God our Heavenly Father gives us. His kind of love is Agape. With Eros kind of love, people go great lengths to show and to prove their love for one another. However, this kind of love always fades away. But with God’s kind of love, it is everlasting. God’s love has no end.

God has proven to us how much He loves us in a greater way. He gave His only Son, Jesus, to die for our sins so that whoever believes in Him may have an everlasting life. God loves you so much, more than your mind can ever imagine. If you only knew how much God loves you, you wouldn’t feel sorry for yourself. You wouldn’t look down on yourself thinking that you are not enough. If you only knew how much God loves you, you wouldn’t believe the lies you’ve been told; that God has forsaken you. No. God loves you. And He will never forsake you. You are His priced possession. You are His beloved child. He calls you His own. At some point in life, people will put you down, talk negative about you, plan evil against you, judge you or belittle you. However, when you understand that God is your true friend who is always there besides you and loving you, when the rest of the world are trying to hurt you; you will never feel alone, afraid or worthless.

No matter the circumstance you may find yourself in, it can never separate you from the love of God. “For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth or any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Roman 8:37-39. God’s love is a gift to all of us. A free gift that we need to accept and embrace it wholesomely.

When you know and understand of God’s great love for you in your life, the devil will have no room in you to convince you otherwise. God is love. And He loved us even before we loved Him. We live in a world that is hurting, a world full of hatred, and evil all around us. We need to accept the free gift of love that God has given us, and share it with the rest of the world. We have a responsibility to make the world a better place through God’s love.

“Though we may be imperfect, God loves us perfectly.”

WALKING WITH GOD IN EVERY SEASON

How Joseph’s Life Reveals God’s Faithfulness Through Every Stage of Our Journey Like the tides of water, life seems to follow the movement of rising and falling. Even as seasons in our lives keep on changing, God doesn’t. He remains faithful in every season. His presence meets us even in the most unlikely and unfamiliar places and in desperate situations. His presence goes with us even when circumstances appear as though we are abandoned, forgotten, and defeated. God is the author of your story, just as He was with Joseph’s. He’s writing new chapters and preparing your breakthroughs, unimagined new opportunities, and restoration. In Genesis 39, Joseph finds himself in unfamiliar circumstances. Being sold as a slave in a foreign land would only indicate that his life was on a downward trend. However, even as the tide turned against him, painting a picture of loneliness, betrayal, and abandonment, he was not alone. Genesis 39:2 reads, “ The LORD was with Joseph so that he prospered .” G...

God Calls, Covers, and Completes

" Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus ". -Philippians 1:6 In Nehemiah Chapter Two, we find Nehemiah heavily burdened by the news he received about the city of Jerusalem, whose walls were broken down and gates burned with fire. Nehemiah, still in exile, served as a cupbearer for the Persian king. As he was serving the king with wine, the king noticed that Nehemiah was troubled at heart. Nehemiah told the king about how the city of Jerusalem was in ruins and asked for permission to rebuild it. Not only that, but he also asked for resources to rebuild it. And the king granted his request. The king of Persia could have denied Nehemiah’s request, but instead, he granted it. All these requests were granted to Nehemiah, “ because the gracious hand of my God was on me .” – Nehemiah 2:8. God has a purpose and a mission for each one of us. Even before we realise what His missions for us are, Hi...

Trust Beyond the Silence

  “But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. ” – Psalm 13:5 Psalm 13 is one of the shortest psalms of David, and yet a powerful one. In this psalm, three times he asks, ‘ How long? ’ indicating a phase of deep distress and abandonment in his life. He begins this psalm by asking God, “ How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” Just as David did, when we are in distress, abandoned, lonely and forgotten. Or when we are in a season of waiting and things seem to move more slowly, we often find ourselves complaining to God with questions like, ‘Why me, LORD? Why do I have to suffer this? How long will I endure this pain and sickness? How long will you let them continue to torment me? When will you look to me with favour? Often, when we don’t have what we need or are not where we should be, we begin to complain, find fault and lose faith in God’s plan. And yet we forget that God is ever faithful, even in momen...
