Bible Verse of The Day – 9-24-21

John 14:23 (NKJV) 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

We all long for God to love us.

Some of us try so hard to earn HIs love. Some wrestle with thinking we are never good enough for His love, and we feel like we are constantly failing Him.

I have learned over the years, though, that God is God!

His thoughts, His ways and His heart are much more than we could ever comprehend.

Do you know He loved us first? That’s right; first.

We didn’t do a single thing to make Him love us.

1 John 4:19 (NKJV) 19 We love Him because He first loved us.

Because of His love for us and what He did to save us, we love Him.

But we didn’t have to do anything for Him to love us.

He loved us right from the beginning; every one of us. Red, yellow, black and white, we are precious in His sight! Amen.

But if we want to show our love for Him, what does He say we will do? We will keep His word.

That simply means that, if we have put our faith and trust in Him, we live out His word in our daily lives. We walk it out for others to see.

What does He promise us if we do this? He will make His home in us!

Wow.

What else could we ever want?

God living in us each day.

That right there is more than this world could ever measure up to.

Why would we even care to obtain anything else? Why would we have idols in our hearts or put things before Him?

His love has always been there for us. Now we must tear down anything that stands in the way of us loving Him back.
