God Loves You

Good Morning!! We proclaim our love for the Lord. We pray to know Him more. We deeply desire a life that is fruitful and pleasing to Him. And for the most part, I believe that we spend a lot of time thinking and praying about how to please God, and how to live our lives in accordance with His will,...far more than we spend thinking about how much He loves us. I mean really, how often do you personally stop and think; "God loves me…He is rejoicing over me right now."?

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 (NKJV)

We tend to think more about how God is disappointed, or upset with us,...instead of thinking about how much He loves and adores us. Why? Because so much of our thought processes are shaped by the world,...and less by the love of God. And what's more, we have an enemy who feeds right into those negative thoughts and will do anything he can to keep us from experiencing that peace and joy that comes only by God.

I encourage you to write today's verse down, meditate on it, and memorize it.
Keep repeating it over and over, in your heart and mind,
...and let the Lord Himself speak these words into the depths of your very soul.

Father God, we believe Your Word is truth,...and we trust that these words are spoken just for us. Lord help our unbelief,...so that we may finally accept the truth of these words. We wants to know and experience Your love, peace and joy just as You intended. Amen.

"True Christian love helps those who can't return the favor."
