The devil always tries one way or the other to communicate to us that God doesn’t love us as much as we think He does. He tries to use one experience or another that we’ve had to prove that God has left us or He’s giving us the cold shoulder because we’ve offended Him. You may be reading this book now and the devil has you thinking God doesn’t really love you. He may have told you, “You’re separated from God. Something has gone wrong with your relationship with God. He doesn’t love you anymore.”
Let me tell you what the Bible says, God didn’t start loving you today. God loved you when you were most unlovable, when you were yet a sinner. How much more would He love you now that you’re His child? People talk about God being a God of love, but He’s not just a God of love, He is Love Himself! The Bible says we love Him because He first loved us (1 John 4:19) and that He so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son (John 3:16). The Bible didn’t just say God loved the world, it says, He ‘so loved’ it. Praise the Lord! Nothing, nobody can tell you under any circumstances, no matter how terrible, that God doesn’t love you!
God’s love is beyond what you can think or fathom. He sent His only Son to die for your sins. That’s to show you He loved you so much, He had to give something so precious to Him to have you. He would never have paid the price of His Son’s blood to purchase you if you didn’t have that much value to Him. Always remember that no matter what you do, where you are or what you’re going through, He loves you anyway. His arms of love are ever outstretched to receive you.
