Jeremiah 31:3
New King James Version (NKJV)
3 The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying:
“ Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love;
Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
1 John 3:1
New King James Version (NKJV)
1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
The hustle and bustle of the holidays are over. The presents have been unwrapped the decorations have been taken down and put away until next year. Our lives have returned to "normal" with all of its challenges. If you don't mind my asking, how are you feeling? A little let down or insignificant? Maybe a little overwhelmed now that the bills for all of those gifts are coming due?! Perhaps your holiday wasn't exactly what you expected, perhaps you were far from family and friends physically or emotionally. Are you feeling a like you are a burden or unloved? It is a lie from the enemy! You are dearly loved and have been from before creation. I Peter 1:17-22 tells us that God loves us so much that before the foundation of the world He had a plan to redeem us and restore our relationship with Him! It is His lovingkindness that draws us to Him and His mercy and grace that redeems us!
No matter what the enemy tries to get you to believe emotionally you are loved by family, friends, and most of all by GOD!! He has not forgotten you. Did you see the sunrise this morning? He painted the sky just for you! Did you hear that bird singing? God told him to sing it right at that very moment just for you! When you are feeling a little overwhelmed, unloved or unlovable, stop, take a deep breath of air that God created for you, thank Him for all of His blessings in your life, then pick up the phone or send a card to the first person God brings to mind. Chances are they need to hear how much they are love too!
Our Father, how wonderful to be able to say that! We are all related who believe in You! You are our Father! Thank You for loving us with a deep everlasting love! Thank You for friends and family who encourage us, love us and remind us of how special we are. Thank You for my Second Chance with Saving Grace family! Thank You for the safety, grace, forgiveness and love that is there! In Jesus Holy and loving name, Amen!
