Because You Are Somebody and God Loves You

I'm writing this to those of you out there who are struggling with all sorts of things that are hindering your walk with God.  I know some who think that because they have sinned and maybe are still sinning that God does not love them.  But He does.  There isn't anything that you could do that would make Him love you any more or any less than He does right now.  He believes that you are worth His love.  He just wants you to love Him back through obedience and trust..

Do you believe that God loves you?  You, who are a sinner and does not deserve any of the wonderful blessings He gives you.  But He does love you.  You are His treasured possession.  He created you and you need to know that God does not make "junk."  I know that you have heard that many times, but have you really believed it.  Psalm 36:5 says that His love reaches to the heavens, and His faithfulness to the skies.  Do you believe this?  I do.  As I read the Old Testament I see so many Scriptures that testify to His love for me and for you. (Isaiah 41:9-10)  "I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you.  I said, `You are my servant'; I have chosen you and have not rejected you.  So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."  Why do you think He said that?  He loves you and you are somebody  important to Him.

Look at Isaiah 43:2 "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.  When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze."  Would He care for you so tenderly if He didn't think you were worth His love?  But you have to appreciate the way God loves you, the way He created you, the talents and gifts that He has given to you.  YOU ARE SOMEBODY.  If you think that you are not, you are doubting God.  You do have a future, you are valuable not only to God but to yourself and to others around you.

 

Think of what John 3:16 means "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."  Because of Jesus we have so much.  One Scripture after another gives us His promises in Christ.   (1 Corinthians 1:8-9) "He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.  God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful."

 

(1 Corinthians 15:56) " But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ."

(2 Corinthians 2:14) "But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him."

(Jeremiah 17:7-8) "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.  He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.  It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."

I love Romans because Paul gives us so much hope and helps us understand how much God loves us in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:35) "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?  Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?" What more does God need to do to show you that you are somebody and that He loves you very much.

To God be the Glory, great things He has done.

Lovingly in Christ,
Carole

My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to Him in song" (Psalm 28:7)
