Hello friends,
Can I be transparent with you for a moment? An area I used to struggle with a lot in my life was feeling that God could not love “someone like me”. Have you ever thought about that before? Well, the good news is…He does!
As we go through this month, let’s take time to reflect on these truths about the love of Christ:
“I will praise you because I have been remarkably and wondrously made. Your works are wondrous, and I know this very well.” (Psalm 139:14)
“But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
“No one has greater love than this: to lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13)
“And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us.God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.” (1 John 4:16)
This month, let’s show the love of Jesus towards others. Remember that this is how Jesus said the world would know we are His disciples:
“I give you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you are also to love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:34-35 CSB, emphasis added).
