Jesus’s love for us

Sometimes, we may feel alone and despondent. We need someone or something to serve as a reminder of his love. Even with so many Bible verses about God's love, many of us struggle to understand how it truly works. It is difficult to grasp the idea that God loves us regardless of how we feel about ourselves. We may believe that in order for God to love us more, we must perform well, or that we must accomplish something in order to earn His loving hand and approval. But God's love for us is unquestionable.

Our works and deeds are performed because we have a relationship with God, not to earn more love. He first loved us and demonstrated his love by sending his only son, Jesus Christ, to die for us. We have all fallen short and do not deserve such love, but God freely gives it to us despite our shortcomings.

Isn't it incredible that Jesus saved us from our sins? He genuinely cares about us. We are all unique to him. Every one of us has a purpose in life. Jesus gave his life for me and for you. We can be redeemed from our sins as a result of his death. He devises methods for us to overcome temptation. Even in the midst of great adversity, the Lord is with us. He gives us the courage to face our fears. When we fall, he picks us up.

Our hearts are known to Jesus. He is looking at us. He adores us. He understands that we all make mistakes in life, which is why he died for us. We can be saved from our sins through his grace. We can obtain forgiveness through repentance. Our hearts have been changed as a result of His boundless mercy. We can return to the righteous path with Jesus in our lives. We will want to obey Him.

Prayer:

“Lord, I consider myself extremely fortunate to have you in my life. I've been so arrogant. I'd gotten so far away from you. My sins have been so numerous. It's difficult to believe you've forgiven someone like me. I'll never be able to thank you enough for your kindness. Because of your love, I live each day. I hope to always be able to feel your love in my life. Because I appreciate your presence. My Lord, I adore you."

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against ...

Wait upon the LORD

Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
