A well-known bible verse is John 3:16:
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that
whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
Now, I don't know who's reading this, but think about it... As a parent, whether you are one or will be in the future, would you give up YOUR son or daughter. God loves us that much. He gave up his Son so that, by believing that Jesus died on the cross and rose again, as well as by having a relationship with God, we can live with Christ forever in Heaven. I can't even imagine giving up my child for the rest of this world to live forever... That's just how much God loves you. He loves you enough to give up his ONLY child so that you may live forever.
In my last blog, I referenced Ephesians 3:18:
May you have the power to understand
how wide, how long, how high, and how deep God's love is.
God's love for us spans farther than we will ever know... It is there for us no matter what mistakes we make or how badly we have messed up.... God loves us more than anything in this world. There's so many people in this world and God loves each and everyone of us the same - so greatly. God's love is wider than the span of anyone's arms. He's holding us tightly. He's never letting go. We are always in His arms, no matter the situation. God's love lasts longer than our lives, longer than any other love anyone could give us. God's love never ends. God's love for us will be there when we feel nobody else loves us. God's love is high. We can't see tomorrow, but God can. That's just how high God's love for us is. He can see our future, He knows everything that's going to happen to us. And He is going to be there for us no matter what, through each and every decision we make. God will never ever stop loving us. And finally, God's love is deep. So deep that it can heal the deepest hurts and scars on your heart. So deep that it can feel that pain with you. But God wants you to turn to Him. He wants you to see that He loves you no matter what.
1 John 1:9 says if we confess, He is faithful. My youth pastor taught us that his first week with us back in November of 2011. And that is something that will stay with me forever, even though my youth pastor has gone on to a different church. God knows we make mistakes. God knows we mess up. He saw that first in Adam and Eve when they disobeyed Him by eating fruit from the tree which He told them not to eat from. God already knows that we are going to sin, that we are going to mess up, that we may stray off the path He wants us to go down. But if we pray and confess our mistakes, our sins, our wrongdoings, and truly repent and turn away from those things, God gives us a clean slate. Those mistakes, wrongdoings, sins - they're all gone. They're washed away because Jesus shed his blood for us. Jesus came to this Earth and gave his life so that we can be with God forever in Heaven.
Accept God into your life. Even if you are a Christian, rededicate your life to Him. God wants you to feel His love so badly. He can only work in your life if you let Him. Pray. Ask Christ into your life. You won't regret it.
