How long has it been since you stopped and just thought about how much God loves you? We get so busy and I guess we know deep down inside that God loves us. But the pressures of the fast-paced rat race that is your life causes the realization that you are loved to slowly fade. It begins with moving from a deep understanding of God’s unconditional love for you to a good feeling that God might just actually care about you. From there it creeps into a general acknowledgement that God loves everyone.
Before long, the pressures of life weigh us down to the point that self-pity permeates all that we are and we forget that God truly loves us. We take on the attitude of, “If God really loved me, I wouldn’t be going through . . .” And so we no longer feel God’s love not because it is no longer there but because we have allowed our focus to shift.
Take some time today to remember that God loves you. Regardless of what you may be experiencing in the moment you are reading this – God loves you – you are valuable and worthy. God loves you enough to know and care about you personally – to the point that Jesus came to show you just how deep and lasting God’s love is for you.
God loves you – you are truly blessed!
