When people say that God loves you, I truly believe them. However, I think they have underestimated just how much God loves us ~ albeit not intentionally.
I believe with all my heart that God is madly in love with us and has been from the very beginning. The bible tells us in John 3:16 that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son just so we could have eternal life.
Does this sound like someone who just loves you or more like someone who has a burning passion of love for you? I believe it is the latter.
Michael Jackson (the self proclaimed King of Pop) once famously sang “We Are The World.” If indeed, we are the world, then the true King of Kings loves so much that he allowed His one and only Son to come to earth and be humbled to be born in a manger and to go on to be crucified on a cross beside two criminals.
It is both comforting and encouraging to know that the creator of the universe is madly and passionately in love with you and His love for you will remain the same today, tomorrow and forever more.
What makes us feel more encouraged (if we possibly could) is there is nothing that can separate us from this love. The apostle Paul tells us in Romans 8:35-39 that not only can anything separate us from the love of God, but in all these things, we are more than conquerors.
We should be feeling invincible right about now as well as encouraged that in the days that come, we are truly loved beyond any level we can imagine possible.
