Being Loved Abundantly

Being Loved Abundantly

Comments 3 comments

When I think about my relationship with God one of the first things that comes to mind is how blessed I am that He loves me. It still blows my mind that He not only waited for me, He sent His Son to save me. How awesome is that? 

Before we give our lives to Christ, most of us spend so much time trying to measure up…to fit in. When it’s not really necessary. For a while, it may even look like we are having some success. But it’s all a facade’. 

In Christ, we are abundantly blessed. God supplies our every need. He actually will give us more than what we need. The Bible says that He will give us exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or think (Eph. 3:20). 

We spend so much time running from God that we miss how blessed it feels to be in His presence. I often wish I had given my life to Him sooner so that I would have more time loving Him, because He already loved me…I just didn’t know it.

God loves us abundantly, and nothing we do will ever change that.  And that is worth far more than anything money can buy.

Until next time…

Be blessed

He Did It Just For Me

He Did It Just For Me

In John 3:16 it says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” The thought of that is so overwhelming at times. Just knowing that God loved us so much that He not only wrapped Himself in flesh to come down to earth for us…He also gave up the life of His only Son to prove it.

Just for me…

What Jesus did on that cross said that He loved us more than He loved His own life. He sacrificed His life so that we could have eternal life with Him. Nobody else would have done that. 

Just for me….

The really awesome thing is that because we believe the shed blood of Jesus Christ saved us, and we have confessed it with our mouths…all of our sins have been erased. We have been forgiven. In the eyes of God, it is like we have never sinned. We get a complete do-over. 

Just for me….

Once we understand that even if I (we have to make it personal) were the only person on the face of the earth, God still would have sent Jesus Christ to save me…it changes us. God’s love for us is transformational. You can’t believe that and still feel the same. To believe that and still live the same. To believe that and still be the same. Amen.

To know that the Father loved us so much that even before we were born, He already had a plan in place to save us. Amazing!

Until next time…

Be blessed
