God's Everlasting Love

The Lord has appeared of old unto me, saying,
Yea, I have loved you with an EVERLASTING love;
therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn you.
Jeremiah 31:3

Do you ever base your opinion about God's love
for you on your opinion of yourself? Do you ever
question how He could love you, when He knows
the truth about you? Do you ever feel unworthy?

My precious friend, I have news for you. God loves
you with a everlasting love.

You see, we all have this in common. We are flawed,
imperfect people. We all make mistakes. We all do
and say things we regret. It is not that we are deserving,
or perfect, it is that God's love is far above what
we can imagine or understand, we are his precious
creation and children of the Most High.

Let me go a step further.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 3:23

So you say, if this is so, how can God love us?

In this was the love of God manifested towards us,
that God sent his ONLY begotten Son into the world,
that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that
we loved God, but that HE loved us and sent his Son to be a
propitiation for our sins.
1 John 5:9-10.

Even in our sinful state, God loved us.

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Roman 5:6-8

He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
1 John 5:8

Let us think about this. If God created us, God created love.
If ever anyone knew how to love, it is the one who created
all things. The only one who will be with you from birth to death
to eternity. How precious is this!

For those of you who are parents. And all of you are children
of someone. Do you stop loving your children, because
they make mistakes? What kind of love do you have for them?
I am sure you love them deeply, and find it easy to forgive them.
Even when they make the worst mistakes, you are there,
praying for them, trying to guide them, seeking the best
way you can to make them feel loved and special.
How much greater is our heavenly Father's eternal, abiding,
merciful, and everlasting love for us? Love beyond
our scope of understanding.

Still not persuaded? My guess then is that you are not feeling
good about yourself, and then consider how could God or anyone
else love you? You see those emotions are fear based,
fear of rejection, fear of abandonment, fear of not being good enough.

There is NO fear in love; but perfect love casts out all fear,
because fear involves torment. But He who fears has not been
made perfect in love.
1 John 5:18

Torment. How many of you have felt that? This sinking feeling,
this constant battle within your soul, this nagging
feeling that won't go away? My friends, that is either you
tormenting yourself, someone tormenting you , or the Father
of lies fighting a spiritual battle with you. Rebuke satan
and he will have to flee. Anytime you feel tormented
you know its not of God, its from the enemy of your soul
who is telling you lies. Don't believe his lies for a minute.
Get into the word of God and receive what He has for you.

Don't let satan ever rob you of your assurance that God loves
you deeply.

The Bible tells us God loves us, and He proved it by sending
his only son to die for us. How unreasonable and unfounded
it is for us to doubt that or cast it away in any form.

Love yourself. Love the life God has given you. Set aside
these feelings that weigh you down, and go out and live your
life with the sense you are truly loved, truly forgiven,
and you have a heavenly Father who will never leave you
or forsake you.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor
angels, nor principalities, nor powers,
nor things present, nor things to come, nor height
nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate
us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39

Walk in his freedom, forgiveness,
and merciful love, and never look back or receive rejection.

And my God shall supply all your need according to his
riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19

God will supply all the love you ever need. Receive it.
Never doubt it. You are loved!

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High,
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will
say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress.
My God, in HIM will I TRUST.
Psalm 91:1-2

love always,
