If you are feeling unloved today, then I pray as you read this word you will realize how much you are loved by God. And even more than anyone else ever could. God demonstrates His love by first giving us His Son to die for us so we could be set free. How great is His love to sacrifice His Son for you and for me. We are so undeserving of His Love, but His Love is greater than all our sin. He looks beyond our weaknesses and sees our need.
In Romans chapter 8 there are some verses that are better known than the others. In verse 1 because of His Love there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. And in verse 28 it says all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose. Also, in verse 31 If God is for us who can stand against us? No one can, for He is our great defender.
As I searched a little deeper in the chapter, I discovered even more hidden treasures and I will share the ones the Holy Spirit has inspired me with.
In Verse 30 it says,
~Because of HIS Love…YOU are PREDESTINED
~Because of HIS love…YOU are CALLED
~Because of HIS Love…YOU are JUSTIFIED
~Because of HIS Love…YOU are GLORIFIED
~Because of HIS Love… YOU are more than a CONQUEROR
~Because of His Love in verse 11 He gives LIFE to our mortal bodies through His Spirit who lives in you.
~Because of His Love HE freely gives us all things. Verse 32
~Because of HIS Love we are given new hope. V.24,25
~Because of HIS Love Jesus intercedes in prayer for us daily. V.34
~Because of HIS Love the Holy Spirit prays for us when we are not able. V.26
~Because of His Love nothing or no one can separate us from HIS Love. (v.35) Tribulation can’t, neither can distress or persecution or famine, death nor life, not even angels nor principalities, nor powers. Nor things present or things to come, nor height nor depth and no other created thing. Wow how amazing is that? Your heart and His is so tightly bound in love forever and no one can change that or erase it. He is on your side and nothing can stop His hand from doing what He pleases in your life. His plan and purpose shall be fulfilled no matter who tries to come against you. You are God’s elect, His chosen one and His love for you is more than your mind could ever fathom. So, don’t feel unloved this day for Jesus wants you to know He loves you and will never leave you nor forsake you. I haven’t covered it all in Romans 8 but I challenge you to seek the chapter and discover for yourself the beauty of His love in each verse. There are also many other hidden treasures throughout the Bible for us all yet to discover. How blessed we are to have a God who is alive and loves us so and has given us the power of His word to live by each day. Love Lollita Faith
Lord Jesus, Help me to accept the fact that I am loved by You and nothing else should matter. Forgive me for feeling unloved. May I feed upon Your word daily and discover the beauty of Your love in every word written. Thank You Father for loving me like You do. Amen and Amen +~
