If you are like me, you have found that love
disappoints. Every single person that I
have loved in my life has disappointed me; every single one. And I know that I, as well, have disappointed
the people in my life that have loved me; every single one.
In my quest to love and to be loved, I have found the perfect
love; the love that does not disappoint.
It is my prayer for you that you have found this perfect love also. It is my prayer for you that you know what
love I am talking about. It is my prayer
for you that you have found God’s love.
The Bible tells us what this perfect love, God’s love, looks
and feels like. God gave us the Bible,
so that anytime we are in need of this perfect love, we can go to His Word and
get a dose of it. We can get a LARGE
dose or a small dose of this perfect love, it’s up to us. We can choose. He doesn’t force His love on us, He allows us
to take it as we need it. He also allows
us to ignore it. Again, it’s up to us
how much of this perfect love we let in to our life.
The more I read the Bible, the more I know how much God loves
me and then the more I fall in love with God.
God fills up my love void with words like:
“God is love.” I John 4:16
“…His steadfast
love endures forever.” Psalm 136:26
“Never will I leave you nor forsake
you.” Hebrews 13:5
“He heals the brokenhearted and
binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3
“The Lord is compassionate and
gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.”
Psalm 103:8
“For as high as the heavens are
above the earth, so great is His love for those who fear him; as far as the
east is from the west so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” Psalm 103:11-12
“And we know that in all things God
works together for the good of those who love Him and have been called
according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28
“There is therefore now no
condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus...” Romans 8:1
“You have not been
given a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind.” II Timothy 1:7
“For God so loved the
world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not
perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
“God showed His love
for us that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
“God, being rich in mercy, because
of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our sins,
made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved.” Ephesians 2:4-5
“…nothing in all creation will be
able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our
Lord.” Romans 8:39
God loves me…..when people fail me, reject me, abuse me,
condemn me, use me, despise me, hate me…..God loves me. God loves me with a love that no human being
can love me with. God’s love is
unconditional. God’s love is
compassionate. God’s love is
perfect. God’s love is just what I
need.
GOD LOVES ME!
God LOVES Me!
God Loves ME!
GOD LOVES ME!
God LOVES me so much He wants to fill my love void. He wants to LOVE me however I NEED to be
loved. All I have to do is let Him. All I have to do is surrender my love void to
Him and allow Him to fill it.
And I have done that.
I have surrendered my love void to God and He HAS filled it. He has filled my love void by sending Jesus
to die for my sin and by giving me a personal relationship with Him. And then He further filled my love void by
sending the Holy Spirit to live inside of me so that there is no room for a
love void. The Holy Spirit consumes me;
He brings me peace, joy, comfort, guidance, wisdom, stability and so much
more. He also enables me to overcome my
sin so that I can become like Christ, living in obedience to God’s Word and not
on my emotions. He gives me everything
I need to know that I am loved, so that I can go out and love others, just like
God designed me to do. “We love because
He first loved us.” I John 4:19. I can live out I Corinthians 13 because God
loves me with a perfect love.
Love Void – we all have one.
Have you allowed God to fill yours?
He wants to, you know. Whatever
love you are missing in your life, He wants to give you that kind of love. He wants to be your Valentine. And He can do it…..He did it for me. If He can do it for me, He can do it for
you. Will you let Him?
GOD LOVES YOU!
God LOVES YOU! God Loves YOU!
GOD LOVES YOU!
Encouraging You In Christ!
All Praise, Honor and
Glory to God!
