Experience His Love

“So Jesus added, “Because of this I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has allowed him to come.””

John 6:65 NET

For many years I thought that I have dissappointed God. I thought, at times, that His love for me was based on my performance, and if I didn't do something good, or if I said the wrong thing, if I hurt someone (even intentionally), that God wouldn't love me and sometimes even to the extent that He would reject me. And then I read this verse...the Father has allowed me to come to Jesus. In Psalm 139, it says that God knows everything about me, what I say, what I do, where I go, etc. What this is saying is that even though God knows I do bad things, think bad thoughs, say bad things, spread rumors, gossip, all that muckiness...through all of that, God still chose me! Yes, He knew what He was getting when He got you...and still He chose you to come into a love relationship with Him! Our human minds will never be able to grasp exactly how much the Father loves us, but one thing we can grasp is that He DOES love us. He loves you, He loves me...that is one thing that will never change. If you think you are unloveable, if you think that you are not good enough, if you think that you will never amount to anything that someone would want, if you think you are not smart enough or pretty enough, if you think that there is no way anyone could love you...then ask God to reveal His love to you, ask Him to show you His love!

Take Away: we can rest in the fact that God loves us. If you don't feel His love, ask Him now to reveal His love to you so that you can experience His love! If you ask, He will do it!
