God's Love

 

 

Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff,they comfort me.You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Romans 8:15
For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

Luke 15:4-6
So He spoke this parable to them, saying:
“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
 

God doesn't love you if..... God doesn't love you when..... He just loves you. His love isn't based on what we do. There is nothing we could do to make Him love us more. And when you stumble he doesn't love you any less. He is there waiting to pick you back up. He knows our life from beginning to end and has a good plan for us. So when you stumble, don't stay down. Immediately reach up to Him, because He already has His hand reaching down to to help you back up. Jesus paid the price for every sin we have committed and every sin that we will commit in the future. There is no sin He will not forgive if we confess and turn back to Him. He will set us back on the right path. The key is to stay close to Him. Don't walk ahead of him or behind, but right by His side and when the way gets too hard allow Him to carry you.

If you are struggling in your faith, and feel as if you can't stay on the path, falling into every pit along the way, and feeling like giving up, know that God is there waiting for you. Look up to Him and take hold of His outstretched hand. He knows the path, beginning to end and will guide you. And if you have never experienced the love God has for you I would really urge you to come to Him and allow Him to be your loving Father. There is nothing in this world that can compare to the love and peace I feel in fellowship with my Heavenly Father. We are His creation that He gave His life for. That is a love that nothing can compare to.

In God's Love,
