God Love You
BELIEVE THAT GOD LOVES YOU TOO MUCH TO LET YOU DIE
GOD NEVER ABANDONED His dream for you.
God is love and love never quits. His love went into action the day Adam and Eve sinned. He found a just and legal way to restore humankind back to an intimate relationship with Him. Although they disavowed His integrity and disbelieved His word, God did not want His beautiful creation to deteriorate and die. And He does not want you to despair and decay in self-destruction and the shame of indignity. He says: I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies, so turn yourself and live. God was not willing that any should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance.
2 God so loved the world that he gave his, only be gotten Son, that whoever believes in him will not perish, but have everlasting life.
3.But God showed his great love for you by sending Christ to die for you.4 It is vital that you realise how much God values you. He created you in His likeness and you are significant and pre-eminent to His plan. He made you for life, love, power, prosperity, success, honour and dignity. The seeds of greatness are in you. You are created in God’s class of being.
God’s whole dream is reflected in you. He loved and valued you too much to let you self-destruct. When you learn to esteem what God esteems and value what He values, then you are ready to comprehend God’s salvation plan for you and to re-evaluate your own life by the measure of what He has paid to redeem you from death. Your life is God’s life in human flesh. Recognise your roots in God and your value to God. You are His product. His best is in you.
Say this to God.
O LORD, I thank You for loving me when I did not esteem my own self. Thank You for placing such a high value on me. Though I abused Your trust of life in me and disavowed Your integrity, You valued me too much to let me die in my sins. Although I deserved deterioration and death, Your love reached out to find a way to save me and to redeem me to Yourself so that we could he friends and partners in life like You originally planned. Because You are love,
You never take pleasure in seeing even the most rebellious and destructive person deteriorate and die. You value me so much that, to have me near You as a friend and a partner, You prefer to pay the full penalty of my sins, in order to justify me and to redeem me.
DEAR LORD, thank You for Your love for me. Knowing how You value me, I am learning to value myself. I respond to Your love and, here and now, I sincerely thank You for reaching out in love to save me and to lift me out of death, into Your abundant life.
AMEN!
