GOD LOVES YOU

There is no father on earth who has as much love in his heart as God has for you. You may be sinful as hell; yet God stands ready and willing to receive you to His bosom and to forgive you freely. - D.L. Moody

Romans 5:8, But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

When was the last time you were reminded that God loves you? When is the last time you were reminded that He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the Cross for you? When is the last time you were reminded that when Jesus died, was buried, and arose from the grave three days later? He conquered, death, hell, and the grave for you?

Hey friend, God loves you! Don’t reject that love; receive it! Don’t deny that love; display it! Don’t forsake that love; fulfill that love by repenting of your sin and trusting Jesus as Saviour!

HE LOVES YOU

It is possible to give without loving, but it is impossible to love without giving. -Braunstein

1 Timothy 2:5-6 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Because our Lord loves us, He sent His Son to die for us. Because He loved me my Saviour died! On the cross was crucified! Because He loved you, He died as well! Do you believe it today? Trust in the one that can bring a difference to your life!

HE LOVES YOU

            The Christian faith does not consist in the belief that we are saved, but in the belief that we are loved. -Vinet

John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

            I have a tract on my end table that is titled, “Somebody loves you”.  It identifies six characteristics of God’s love toward you and I; His love for you is; unending, unselfish, undeserved, unimaginable, undying, and unmerited. WOW! Those six characteristics of God’s love toward us is overwhelming!  

            Friend, if no ones has ever told you let me be the first, God loves you! Let that sink in this morning. God, the creator of the universe, loves you!

AN EXAMPLE OF GOD’S LOVE

Take a moment to praise someone for something they have done.

Proverbs 27:2, Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.

            On the way back home yesterday, we saw a friend of ours pushing his Grandson around in a wheel chair in the neighborhood they live in. His Grandson has autism and needs special care given to him 24/7. As I was riding by, I was blessed and challenged at the same time. To see this humble man taking care of one of God’s choice servants was one of the greatest examples of the love I have seen in a while!

            Do you display God’s love only with your words? Is it only on your social media accounts that anyone can identify you as a Christian? Let me remind you of something you may have forgotten: Actions speak louder than words!

DO YOU HAVE AN UNCHANGING LOVE?

Nothing binds me to my Lord like a strong belief in his changeless love. –Spurgeon

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. Psalm 112:7

The entirety of Psalm 112 is a reminder to us that if you give your life to Christ and live for Him, He will bless and take care of us! It begins with, “Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.” Blessed in his soul, blessed in his family, blessed in his finances, blessed in his community, blessed in the work place and even before the wicked of this world he is blessed.

Have you drifted away from where you once were with the Lord? Have you allowed THINGS to get in between you and the Lord? Have you laid your Bible down and picked up something in its place? Have you found that your joy is gone you once had? I can assure you that the Lord and those that love the Lord would love to see you rejoicing with them in His changeless love once again!
