T.O.D.A.Y.’S ENCOURAGEMENT for July 25th, 2002

T.O.D.A.Y. Ministries

Good Morning!

God loves you!!!!  To a lot of people, that has become a "common phrase"..."a nice thing to say to others", even becoming something that we just use to make conversation; like "Have a good day".  However, the awesome reality of these three words is this:  God really does love you.  He loves you with a steadfast, everlasting and "unconditional" love.  He loves you the same way He loves Jesus.

This is hard for our finite minds to comprehend, but it is true!  (Read John 17:23.)  In fact, if you really want to be free, read the 17th chapter of John in it's entirety. This is what I believe is really "The Lord's Prayer".  While you are at it, go ahead and read the last verse of chapter 16, which precedes this.  (In the original writings of the Bible, "chapters and verses" were not inserted.)

If you are a born again child of God, then Jesus was speaking to you and was praying for you.  Even if you are having trouble believing that God loves you, I know that you can believe that Jesus got His prayers answered.  Right?

There is nothing you can do to make God love you.  There is nothing you can do to make God not love you.  If you belong to Jesus, GOD LOVES YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO OR DO NOT DO!  So, quit looking at your "ability" or "inability".  Quit looking at what you "have done" or what you "have not done", and just simply receive God's steadfast, everlasting, "unconditional" love for you. When you do this, then you can love others the same way that God loves you!

Have a Blessed Day!!                   In His "Love",     Luanne
