Affirmation of God: God loves me that much.

Today’s Scripture: Dear Friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. 1 John 4:11 NLT Tyndale 

Can’t you just see the outstretched hands of a little child saying I love you “thaaaat much”. It means more than we can really reach or say doesn’t it? In verses nine and ten of 1 John 4 we are told that God showed how much he loved us by sending his only Son into the world so that we may have eternal life. This is real love.  It is not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. (NLT Tyndale) 

If we really believe the Son came in the flesh for us then we realize a love that is more than we can reach or say. But we can live in it. We can trust Jesus to give the victory. What we do today or have happen will not affect this victory. Knowing we are already victorious in Him allows us to show this love to everyone. 

Victory is ours and we can live in it as children of God living real peace and real love for everyone. I love you thiiiiiiis much. I can do that because God loves me that much. 

Today’s Prayer:  God, thank You for first loving me. Help me to know Your will as well as I know Your love. I live in You and thank You for living in me. Use me to show Your love and to keep Your commandment to love one another. I trust You for victory over anything that might take Your place in my heart. My joy is complete. Amen
