God loves you. God is for you.

God loves you. God is for you.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Romans 8:31‭-‬32
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can  be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

God is for you. He is not mad at you. He's not waiting to pour down His wrath on you. He enjoys you. You are His delight and He is well pleased with you. You mean the world to Him. You are His treasured possession. Read the verses again.

God loves you so much that He gave up His only begotten Son for you. Nothing and no one could stop God from redeeming you from the clutches of Satan, sin and death even if it costs Him His only Son. Can you see the value God has placed on you? For God to sacrifice His Son for you, speaks a lot about the immense value and worth God has placed on you. Oh, how much He loves us! He demonstrated His love for us while we were sinners, His enemies. Romans 5.8 says 'But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.' He doesn't love us because of anything we do or don't do, God loves because He is love. He's a loving Father, always desiring the best for each of His children. Never will he do anything that causes you harm, shame or loss. James 1. 17 says 'Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.'

Friend, no one has been more misunderstood than God. Know your Father God, your Abba. Know and believe His love for you. 1 John 4.16 says 'And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.' A revelation of His love for you will help you see the best in every person and the best in every situation. Know this, Believe it and Say it : God loves me and God is for me - Jesus is the proof!
