"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." Jeremiah 1:5
Before you were born, the Lord knew you and loved you. Before you repented of your sins and became His child He loved you. He not only said that He loved you, but He showed you how much He loved you by sending His Son to die for your sins. He has always loved you, so why do you ever doubt?
According to the Book of Romans nothing separates us from His love. That is because His love is unconditional. He loves us in spite of ourselves- in spite of our rebellious attitude, in spite of our selfishness, or our determination to do things our own way, and in spite of the fact that we often think we know better than God does when it comes to running our lives.
Because He loves us so deeply and unconditionally does that mean that we have a license to sin and it will be all right? No, it doesn't! Sin puts a hindrance in our relationship with Him. It's what broke our relationship with Him in the first place. But because His love for us is deep and eternal, He provided a way to put our relationship back together again.
So now we can have a wonderful assurance that because He does love us, that once we confess our sins any hindrance
is completely removed out of the way.
And just in case you doubt His love for you this morning look at the cross. There is no greater demonstration of love. And there is no greater proof.
Have a great day. The Lord loved you, loves you and will always love you.
