God loves you so deeply. He is fully committed to your well-being. He has freely given you many things you may sometimes fail to see, and you may have taken these things for granted. For example, can you imagine buying the air you breathe for your lungs? How much money would you need to spend for a breath per second?
A man once had a seemingly really bad day, and he laid across his complaint to God, saying; God, I set my alarm to wake me up, but it didn’t. Then I hit heavy traffic on the way to work and that made me late to work. Why didn’t you wake me up, and why did you allow me to hit the traffic? I didn’t wake you up because I know you needed some time to catch up on your sleep. God responded, and I allowed the traffic so that you wouldn’t be involved in an accident that happened on your way to work. I wouldn’t want to welcome you in heaven knowing that you haven’t fulfilled your purpose on earth. Isn’t that a powerful story?
God loves this man so much that he protected him from an accident, and He also provided him with a much-needed rest, but this man failed to see God’s love at work for him. Oftentimes, we fail to see God’s love at work in us and for us, and many times, we actually take God’s love for granted. How many times have you failed to see God’s love for you in different situations? Isn’t it always easier to focus on the mess you are in than to shift your focus on the message God is telling you?
In this man’s reality, it seemed like everything was falling apart, yet everything happened out of God’s love for him. There is a danger in not knowing, not being grounded and not fully accepting God’s love. Out of God’s love for this man, He allowed him to get some due rest and isn’t it true what the scripture says that God gives His beloved sleep? (Psalm 127:2). God also protected him from danger on the same day, yet in this man’s perception of the day, everything had fallen apart.
Wouldn’t it be awesome to have this belief in your mind that whatever happens to you, it happens as a result of God’s love for you? I was once in an abusive relationship that ended really badly. At the time my relationship ended, I didn’t realise God’s love for me. Today I can boldly say that “it was good for me to be afflicted for it thought me to pay attention to your decrees” Psalm 119:71. My affliction drew me closer to God. I have learnt tangible life lessons and I can help others not to fall into the same pit I fell into. God loves me.
God’s kind of love works extra hard to protect us from danger, to comfort us in pain, to heal our wounds and to provide for us in need. He wipes away all tears, and He takes away all hurts. He gives us hope for the future, and He fills our hearts with laughter. God’s love never leaves us when we do wrong or when we do right. When you open up your heart to receive God’s love, you experience miracles unimaginable. A life that is not fully grounded in God’s love will operate in fear. A life that is fully founded and grounded in love flows in love towards others and is able to relate with others peacefully. Everything we do in life must be embedded in the love of God. When we rest in God’s love then our journey in life is easier and smoother. He is a good good father who wraps His arms of love around us and extends His joy to our hearts. His love is what you have been longing and searching for. Your pets cannot give you the type of love you desire and deserve. Only God can give you that kind of love.
He reached out to the lonely Adam in the Garden of Eden and gave him a helpmate. He reached out to the disobedient Jonah in the belly of a whale and rescued him from death. He forgave the sinful nation of Nineveh and gave them a brand new start. He delivered the children from their oppressors; they sinned against Him, and He still fulfilled His promises to the obstinate and doubtful nation of Israel. He sent His one and only begotten son to die for your sins so that you can be reconciled to Him. You can experience this undying, unending, unconditional love of God. This is the type of love you deserve. This is the type of love the world cannot give you. This is the type of love the Lord of all the earth showers over His children. If you have been looking for love in the most unlikely places, stop now. Switch over to God’s love. Your family’s love is great, but it cannot last you till eternity. Your friend’s love is fantastic, but it is only for a moment. Your spouse’s love is amazing, but God’s love is everlasting. Human love is flawed. It is like a pressure cooker; once boiled over, it dies down as soon as the fire goes out. Human love is nothing but a temporary means to an end.
Have you ever seen a display of love like the Lord’s kind of love? He puts a rainbow in the sky as a reminder of His love for all humanity. He has never withdrawn the lights above from us all, and neither has He removed the earth from beneath us, yet we sin against Him every day, all day long. He gives His breath, and we all get our daily bread from his provision. God’s love is a lifetime of gesture and pleasure. It is patient and kind. It is not envious, it is not boastful, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs (1 Corinthians 13:4–8a). It does not expire. It is never tired of doing good. God’s love is the love you have been looking for all your life. I have never seen a display of an all-around love like the Lord’s love. Human love is completely faulty. God’s love is totally whole and holy. Do you have a background with little or no display of love? Then you, my friend, need God’s love. Have you ever suffered from rejection, dejection, or condemnation like I have? You need God’s love. Have you grown up in a dysfunctional family background? Do you hardly show emotions or any love for others? Then you, my friend, need God’s love, and He is extending it to you right now. Accept God’s love into your life. Embrace God’s love in your heart. Let it dwell richly in your abode.
You are God’s child, and He loves you very much. He loves you like a father loves his beloved child. He loves you more than a bridegroom could ever love his bride. He loves you like a child gazes lovingly into his mother’s eyes. He loves you like a codependent who cannot live without the other person.
God is love, and He loves you unconditionally. Nothing can separate you from the Love of God. No tribulation, trials of this world, depth or height, hunger, abuse, debt, nor death can separate you from the Love of God (Romans 8:31-39).
God loves you very much, and He will never change His mind about you. His mind is made up to love you despite your quirkiness, awkwardness, messes and weaknesses. He has made up His mind to love you till eternity. His love for you will never decrease or change otherwise. God stands firm with His promise. His love for you is unchangeable and unshakeable. No matter what you have done or may do, God’s love for you still stands firm and unending. He does not reject or dislike anybody who runs to or calls on Him. You are His sheep, the sheep of His pasture, and He is your God” (Ezekiel 34:31). He is a good shepherd, and He will never leave you nor forsake you(Deuteronomy 31:6).
The only thing that makes you feel unloved by God is sin, which produces condemnation and separates you from God. God does not remove His faithful love from you. You are loved by God. A man may curse you, condemn you, dislike you or hate you. But God loves you so very much that He releases His blessings over you. He may convict you of your sinful habits, but He only does it out of love for you, to keep you in check and to bring you closer to Him.
There is no doubt about it. You are loved by God! You are His beloved. He loves you very much. That is why He sent his only son to die for your sins(John 3:16). God loves you unconditionally. He loves you with intent. He loves you with all His heart. He has not, and He will not condemn you. He loves you very much. Only if you will open up your heart, mind and spirit to receive this great love of God will he envelop you with His unending love.

Day 10
I declare that through the love of God for me, I come alive in Christ. I am dead to sin, and I live in righteousness. The Lord delivers me from the kingdom of darkness and now I live in the light. I am no longer a part of the problem in the world, but God has made me a solution. Through the love of God, I have become the light of the world and the salt of the earth. His love for me is greater than the love of anybody in the world. His love for me surpasses any human knowledge or understanding. His love for me is unquenchable and unpredictable. Nothing can stop His love for me. Henceforth I will live my life in His live. (Ephesians 2:4-5
