Is it possible that God could possibly love someone like me?

"For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord". (Romans 8:38-39)

TODAY’S BIG QUESTION: “Is it possible that God could possibly love someone like me?”

Love is one of God’s most central attributes. The Scriptures tell us that God IS love (1 John 4:8). All of God’s interactions with man and all His dealings with man are rooted in His love for us. The Holy Scriptures are a manifestation of His love and are, in essence, a “love letter” written to help us comprehend a bit of God’s love toward us.

That new sense of God’s love became a whole new motivation for my serving Him. You see, when you truly become aware of the depth of God’s love, it changes you. It changes the way you want to live your life. It changes the reason why you want to live for Him. It changes the depth of your commitment toward Him.


TODAY’S BIG IDEA:
“As you become aware of the depth of God’s love for you, allow that realization to become the driving force in your obedience to Him.”


Today’s prayer: Pray that God will help you to sense His love for you as it truly is, and pray that He will help you to respond to that love with complete devotion to Him.
