Life can be very hard at times. It can be unfair. There are times when we can feel forgotten, overlooked, or even unloved, even by the ones who made a covenant to love, honor, and cherish till death do us part. There’s something I’d like to impart to you all. YOU ARE LOVED!! You are not loved superficially, but rather eternally. Almighty God, who created you in your mother’s womb, loves you deeply and without reservation. He created you out of love, and sent His Son to die in your place out of love. His greatest gift to mankind is a life for a life. Even if we wanted to, we could never do for ourselves what Christ did for us all.
If you feel down and out today; if you feel disregarded or irrelevant, know this day that you are loved more than any person on this earth could love another. Our attempts at loving someone, whether family, friend, or spouse end up being weak and in many cases unacceptable in the eyes of the God and the recipient. The only way we can know how to love anyone is thru our relationship with God.
This world has no idea how to love another person. It has nothing to do with the material goods, money, or sex. Those are by products of loving someone, but in and of themselves are inconsequential.
The bottom line here is that if you desire to actually BE loved, you must tap into God. You must turn control of your life over to Him, not just as Savior, but as Lord. The world has sold you a bill of goods; a cheap imitation. If it weren’t true then why are there so many “loving” couples getting divorced? God’s Word tells us we are loved by Him. You will find true love nowhere else.
Until next time, walk with the King & allow Him to love you.
In His Name & for His Glory,
