This is the Truth

I went to a worship event last night, at which this video was played.

It left me feeling encouraged. Definately worth watching, the whole way through.

Recently a few things have left me feeling unwanted, unloved. 

Rewind to 1.25

'But you must know

that you can be loved

that you are wanted

that He wants to know you

that God has a plan for your life

that the Almighty wants to be your Father'

After finding the video on youtube and re-watching it, a few verses came to mind, and i thought i'd share them:

Psalm 103:17

" But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children."

Jeremiah 31:3

" I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness."

John 15:13

"Greater love has no man than this than to lay down His life for His friends"

Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

I hope you find the joy I did in that video and those verses. You are loved.

It is always good to be reminded that we, both you and i are loved- loved by God, the King of all Kings, our Creator. Be remind YOU are LOVED, loved my God. Loved by the Almighty. Loved by the Creator, your Creator. That is worth far far more than anything, or anyone in this world. 

It is refreshing to remember that despite how we feel, from the things this world throws at us, how unloved, unwanted, rejected we feel, God still loves us. 

So... to finish if God loves me- despite how many times I mess up, do not listen or get angered too easily... then what should I do? What should my response be to this pure, everlasting love? I should love because He first loved me. I should learn to love, love unconditionally, as Christ first loved me.

1st John 4:19

We love because He first loved us.
