GOD IS THE GIFT that continuously gives—bounteously, with no strings attached. – 1 JOHN 4 : 15 – 18, DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27, PSALM 13 : 5

“GOD IS THE GIFT that continuously gives—bounteously, with no strings attached. Unconditional Love is such a radical concept that even GOD’S most devoted followers fail to grasp it fully. Absolutely nothing in heaven or on earth can cause GOD to stop loving you. You may feel more loved when you are performing according to your expectations. But GOD’S Love for you is perfect; therefore it is not subject to variation. What does vary is your awareness of The LORD’S loving Presence. When you are dissatisfied with your behavior, you tend to feel unworthy of GOD’S Love. You may unconsciously punish yourself by withdrawing from The LORD and attributing the distance between us to HIS displeasure. Instead of returning to The LORD and receiving HIS Love, you attempt to earn GOD’S approval by trying harder. All the while, GOD is aching to hold you in HIS everlasting arms, to enfold you in HIS Love. When you are feeling unworthy or unloved, come to GOD. Then ask for receptivity to The LORD’S unfailing Love.”

Scripture

If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 JOHN 4 : 15 – 18

The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, “Destroy him!” DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. PSALM 13 : 5

Prayer

Prayer: God I trust you. You know the number of hairs on my head. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for loving me unconditionally, regardless. Teach me to love like you love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
