Scripture: "Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands." Isaiah 49:16
Just How Much God Loves You
If you're anything like me (or most everyone else I know), you have no idea how much God loves you.
He died for you, sacrificed His only Son, and would do it all over
again. But even if you've heard it once, you need to hear it again. So if God wrote you a love letter, here's what it might sound like…
Love Letter
Dear Child of Mine,
I
saw you before you were born, and I destined you for a great purpose
(Jeremiah 1:5). While your mom was pregnant with you, I personally
designed you with incredible detail and precision (Psalm 139:13,14).
From the get-go, I planned so many amazing things for you, you could
never even count them if you tried (Psalm 40:5).
But
I knew in advance that you would go astray and forget me, so I asked My
perfect Son Jesus to take your punishment Himself (Isaiah 53:5). He was
willing to be humiliated and murdered so that you could be eternally
healed (Isaiah 53:5). He loved you so much that He came down to earth to
show you what I'm really like (John 14:7).
When
you first believed in Me, I immediately accepted you into My own family
(John 1:12). I forgave all your sins through My Son Jesus (1 John
2:12). And now Jesus is in Heaven with Me, preparing a place for you
(John 14:2). In fact, I am living inside of you because You believe in
My Son (I John 4:15).
I
am forever committed to you; there is no circumstance under which I
will leave you or take my love away from you (Hebrews 13:5; Romans
8:38). Even when you go through the hardest trials, I will be with you
and carry you through them (Isaiah 43:2). In fact, I will cause
EVERYTHING to work together for your good, because you have loved me
back and I have a great purpose for you (Romans 8:28).
Is
there anything you need right now? Ask Me. I am your Good Father and I
won't give you something bad in return (Matthew 7:11). Actually, I have
My own Spirit readily available to you to help you in your weakest hour
(Romans 8:26). I know you get tempted to lose faith, but even when you
do, I will remain faithful to you (2 Timothy 2:13). I want you to ask Me
for great things, because I want to answer you (John 16:23). Take a
look up at the heavens; My love for you goes even higher than that
(Psalm 108:4). Don't lose heart: I want you to know that I am coming
back for you (Revelation 22:12).
And
just remember: I AM LOVE (1 John 4:16). I am always patient, always
kind. I'm never envious, proud or boastful. I'm not rude, and I only
want the best for you. I don't get easily irritated with you or hold a
grudge toward you. I am sad when you are hurt or wronged, but love when
the truth prevails in your life. I will never stop being patient with
you, never lose hope or give up on you. I WILL NEVER QUIT ON YOU (1
Corinthians 13:4-8).
My love for you is everlasting (Jeremiah 31:3).
