1165th -- That Is God Saying “I Love You”

  

One thing that we can never do in this life is to out love God. God's 
love for us reaches beyond our comprehension. His love is infinite, 
indescribable, eternal and unwavering. The Lord is faithful to us even 
when we aren't faithful to Him. When we stumble, when we fall short, when 
our iniquities are far too great, God's grace and mercy knocks on our 
hearts letting us know that He is not far away. We simply must call upon 
Him and ask for His forgiveness, for His strengthening and for His 
sustenance that is able to keep us alive and secure in the palms of His 
Hands. The Bible declares in Psalm 145:8-9 “The Lord is gracious, and 
full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. The Lord is good 
to all: and His tender mercies are over all His works.”
(Revelation 3:20) (Romans 10:9-13)

Never believe the lie that God is mad at you or that you are beyond 
redemption. A preacher once said “There is no pit so deep that the love 
of Jesus is not deeper still.” That is why the Lord Jesus came to this 
Earth. He came for the sinners. We read this in Mark 2:17
“...They that 
are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came 
not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
He came to redeem 
that which was lost. The Bible says that He is the good shepherd who goes 
after His sheep. A parable that Jesus told says
“Suppose one of you has a 
hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in 
the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when 
he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he 
calls his friends and neighbors together and says, Rejoice with me; I have 
found my lost sheep. I tell you that in the same way there will be more 
rejoicing in Heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine 
righteous persons who do not need to repent.”
(Luke 15:4-7)

Never believe the lie that you are so bad that God can't love you. He 
loves you more than you know and waits with open arms for you to call upon 
Him. The Bible declares in 2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slow about His 
promise, as some think of slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting 
any to perish, but all to come to repentance.” Be encouraged to see that 
it is to your benefit to call upon the Lord. He will cleanse you, renew 
you and give you a new heart. He will change you for the better and make 
you what you never thought you could be. He has done it with me, He has 
done it with countless others and I know He can do it with you too.

I hope this message encourages and challenges your heart to see that God 
loves you with an everlasting and unwavering love and wishes for all to 
call upon His Name to be redeemed and made new.


THAT IS GOD SAYING “I LOVE YOU”

Each of us in this life wants more than anything to be loved. We work for 
love. We strive for love. We make fools out of ourselves for love. We long 
to feel that love warming our hearts and souls. We strain our ears each 
day for just a whisper of those three glorious words: “I love you.”

What most of us don’t realize, however, is just how much God loves us. God 
is showing us and telling us how much He loves us everyday. When you see 
the sun rising over the mountains, feel the cool breeze kissing your face, 
and hear the sweet songs of birds blessing your ears that is God saying, 
“I love you.”

When you see the adoring eyes of your dog looking up at you and feel the 
gentle brush of your cat against your hand that is God saying, “I love 
you.” When you hear music that uplifts your soul with joy and read words 
that make your heart and mind soar into the heavens that is God saying, “I 
love you.” When you hear the laughter of children playing and feel the 
warm hug of your own child against you that is God saying, “I love you.”

When you have the loving support of your family and the wonderful kindness 
of your friends no matter what you are going through that is God saying, 
“I love you.” When you find your thoughts and feelings always leading you 
towards growth, learning, love, and joy that is God saying, “I love you.” 
When your life’s circumstances both good and bad help you to keep growing 
stronger, better, happier, and more loving each day that is God saying, “I
love you.”

God is always telling you and showing you just how much He loves you. Don’t
be afraid then to say, “I love you too God.” Don’t be afraid to live that 
love in your life either. Love God with everything you have and with 
everything you are. Love yourself, love your neighbor, and make this whole 
world your neighborhood. Always remember that God is love, that life is 
joy, and that we are one. And always listen for the million ways that God 
says, “I love you.”

Read and meditate on these scriptures:

1 Timothy 6:17-19 “Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be 
not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who 
giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich 
in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in 
store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they 
may lay hold on eternal life.” 

Psalm 103:10-14 “He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us 
according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so 
great is His mercy toward them that fear Him. As far as the east is from 
the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us. Like as a 
father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear Him. For 
He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.” 

Romans 10:9-11 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, 
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, 
thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; 
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture 
saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.” 

John 3:16-18 Jesus declares
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His 
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but 
have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn 
the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believeth
on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, 
because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” 


All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible.
