Post #68(a) - God Loves Us

God loves us.

He loves us so much that He sacrificed His only son so that we can be free from sin and have eternal life. 

He shows us how much He loves us every day. He shows us by sustaining us through the night and allowing us to take another breath come morning. 

He provides for us, sustains us, and blesses us because He loves us. He forgives us, delivers us, and showers grace and mercy upon us because He loves us. 

He uses us to be His hands and feet. He trusts us with His will and He provides us with the tools to accomplish it... because He loves us. 

There's nothing you can do or say to make God stop loving you. And nothing can separate you from the love of God. 

"Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow - not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below - indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:35-39)."

He loves us in spite of our mistakes. In spite of our flaws and shortcomings. 

He loves us no matter our differences or similarities. Our origins or beliefs. 

God is love (John 4:16). And He loves all that He has created. We are perfect in His sight. And He leads and guides us to His perfection.

God loves us because we are His. He made us. 
He breathed His ever powerful breath into us and gave us life. 

God's love is evident all around us. 

It is evident in all He does for us, in us, and through us. It's evident in all He has created for us. It is evident in the blood He shed for us.

God wants you to know how much He loves you so that you don't live in worry and fear. Perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18). 

He wants us to recognize and receive His love freely. So that we can be free. And freely love one another.
