Because God Loves Me
God’s love is beyond anything we could ever imagine. It’s not based on our efforts, but on His grace and the sacrifice of Jesus. The more we understand His love, the more we realize how it impacts every part of our lives—guiding, growing, and never giving up on us. As 1 John 4:9-11 reminds us, God showed His love by sending His only Son so that we might live through Him.
1 John 4:9-11 By this the love of God was revealed in us, that God has sent His only Son into the world so that we may live through Him. In this is love, no that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
...He is slow to lose patience with me.
...He takes the circumstances of my life and uses them in a constructive way for my growth.
...He does not need to impress me with how great and powerful He is because He is God, nor does he
belittle me as a child to show how important He is. He just keeps on loving me.
...He is for me; He wants to see me mature and develop in His Love.
...He doesn't send down His wrath for every little mistake I make, of which there are many.
...He doesn’t hold my sins against me or wait for an opportunity to punish me for them.
...He rejoices when I experience His power and strength, and I stand under the pressure of life for His
namesake.
...He keeps on trusting me when at times I don't even trust myself.
...He keeps on working patiently with me even when I feel like giving up and can't see why He would love
me.
...He never says there is no hope for me, rather He is patiently working with me, loves me, disciplines me
in such a way to help me understand the depth of his loving concern.
...He will never forsake me, even though my friends might.
...He stands with me when I have reached rock bottom of despair.
...When I see the real me and compare that with His righteousness, holiness, beauty, and love, it is at that
moment that I can really believe that God loves me.
...He never stops loving me!
...The greatest of all gifts is God's love!
Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
