And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.— 1 John 4:16 (NKJV)
The word, “love” in the general sense, means to be pleased with; to regard with affection.
To many, the words, “I love you” are mere words that hold very little meaning. However, when God says that He loves us, He means it in every way that is important and vital to us. His love always moves Him to action on our behalf.
God’s love (agape) seeks the welfare of all and works no ill toward any. It seeks an opportunity to do good to all men. God’s love is the love of a perfect being toward entirely unworthy objects (us).
God’s Word states that He loves us because He wants to, and it is His kind intent. God loves because He must—it is who He is. God is love! Therefore, when we receive Christ as our savior, God’s love comes to live inside of us and when that happens, love spills out of us and onto others. When we love others as God loves us, we live a life that honors God.
Receive God’s unconditional love today. It is the foundation of your relationship with Him. Yes, and a thousand times yes—GOD LOVES YOU!
Prayer Starter: Father, I know with my head that You love me, please help me feel Your love in my heart and soul. In Jesus’ name, amen
