Text: 1 John 4:16-19 NIV; Jeremiah 31:3 NIV
God’s love for us is not merely a feeling, but a divine attribute that is unchanging, steadfast, and unconditional.
However, when we find ourselves in difficult situations we cannot but ask, does God loves me? The answer is a resounding YES.
God’s love for you is great, God’s love for you is big
& his love for you is universal- no matter where you go, it doesn’t matter how you feel, what you did or didn’t do, God loves you. Psalm 103:11 NIV says this, For as high…how high? as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
but watch! God’s love for you is not only great, his love for you is also “personal”
You see, God’s love for you is so personal that nothing can ever crowd out, or force out, or displace, or “replace.” God’s love for you.
Now, how does God shows that his love for you & his love for me is personal?
1). He shows that his love is personal by meeting your deepest needs. Matthew 6:7; James 4:3; Ephesians 3:17-19.
2). God’s love for me is personal because He is my shepherd. Psalm 23:1; John 10:11
3). God’s love for me is personal because he knows me. John 10:14; Matthew 10:28-31
