Do you realize that you are loved by your Father?
There are so many well-meaning Christians who are journeying through life in doubt of God’s great love for them. They have allowed the lie of enemy to infiltrate their hearts and minds. They are not sure that God loves them, convinced it’s merely a conditional form of love.
We hope this is not your position. Past sins. Guilt. Shame. Mistakes. Whatever it may be, repent and accept the forgiveness from the Father, because Christ still loves you. Put firm measures in place to not turn back, seek help for any longstanding vices and walk circumspectly.
You can overcome all things. God loves you more than you can ever fathom.
Scriptures for you to recall in times of doubt
These Scriptures are for you. Meditate on the Word from the Lord, and see yourself as He sees you: worthy of love, rich in value, and not beyond His rescue and reach.
‘We love because he first loved us.’ 1 John 4:19

‘A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.’ John 13:34
‘For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.’ John 3:16

In these dark days, be confident that God loves you, you need this to endure life’s challenges.
He set His love for you from the beginning, whilst you were still estranged from Him, and didn’t acknowledge Him as Lord and Savior. You being firm in His love and care for you in your walk with Christ through life is key. Be confident in His love today.
A prayer for you
Loving and gracious God, faithful Father, we lift up our dear brother and sister reading these words. O merciful God, give them a revelation of Your great love today. May Your Holy Spirit teach them that Your love never fades away, comfort them through Your Word. Remind Your people that Your love is steadfast and does not decrease. Lord Jesus, help them to know that their actions and painful situations doesn’t cause You to diminish Your love for them. Throw all their sins into the sea of forgetfulness. May our dear brother and sister renew their determination to walk according to Your Word, and walk in Your love and light of Christ. Amen
