Tag: God loves us

It is human nature to look our best. After all, the first impression is the lasting impression. For human eyes, this may be true. Thankfully, when we accept Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, it is not our first impression that others see that counts. The Lord has appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. Jeremiah 31:3. 

God looks at the sincere heart of the one who is seeking repentance and forgiveness. He accepts us exactly where we are in our lives. God showers us with His unconditional love, grace, and mercy that only a Heavenly Father can give to us. Embrace the opportunity for God to change you into the best that you can be.

Bible Verse: But the LORD said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The LORD doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7

Prayer: God, we thank you for seeing us from the inside. We give you our heart and ask you to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We ask this prayer in the Worthy Name of Jesus. Amen.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…Genesis 1:26

Many of us never think about where we received the ability to love and the desire to be loved. Our Love comes from God, the Father of all humanity.

God desires our Love just as much as we desire His love.

Thank you God for creating us from love and for loving us unconditionally. Amen

Life is tough. But Jesus told us that when we committed to serving God that we would have hardships.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world, you shall have tribulation. But be of good cheer [have courage]; I have overcome the world. John 16:33

We can never have peace and joy without Jesus, nor did God create us to be alone and on our own. 

And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding. Colossians 1:9

Do you have a prayer partner? It is vital to our spiritual, mental, and emotional growth that we bond with at least one person excited about serving God and is preparing for eternal life.

Yesterday, I spoke to my sister-in-Christ, Linda, who lives 1500 miles away. We chatted, spoke on the goodness of God and the blessings and miracles that we have received. We ended our conversation with a prayer. Both of us felt refreshed. Pray for God to connect you with someone who loves God and loves others.

Believer’s Alert: Start a prayer group to serve those in need.

God loves us. No one is excluded from God’s love. Please remember that we are required to serve others. One of the greatest blessings is to encourage others through prayer is not an option.

For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:28

Love God, Love Others, and Love Yourself.

Bible Study: Colossians 1

Prayer: God, we thank you for the gift of your Son, Jesus who died that we may have eternal life. Please bring people into our lives who love you and are committed to serving others. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
