A Little Bit of Faith: : You Are Loved
|The most wonderful love letter ever written is the Bible. The Bible allows mankind to hear God’s voice, experience His love and compassion for His people, and to see how our hope is built on His son Jesus Christ. All of us have a strong desire to be loved. We want a sincere love, a love that will never end, and a love that will stand the test of time.
Since we all desire to be loved, Valentine’s Day can leave many of us feeling unloved and not wanted. But if we move toward the Word of God, He can help us to see that His perfect love for us is all that we need. There is no need for us to feel lonely or unloved. He loves us more completely and more deeply than anyone ever can.
Therefore, in First John, it reminds us that God loves us completely. “We have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love” (1 John 4:16). The purest, most honest, and most joyful love that we can ever experience is the love
that our Heavenly Father has for us. As a matter of fact, God’s love for us always has action. He does not give us lip service, he shows us. The major way God has shown how much He loves us is by giving us His only Son Jesus. Jesus was born of a virgin, lived among us, crucified, and He rose again.
So if you were feeling a little lonely, unloved, and unwanted this past Valentine’s Day, cheer up. Know that you have a greater love. The love of God!
Amen? Amen.
