“Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us” (Romans 5:5).
Many of you I do not know. However, through the love of God and His Son Jesus I call you friends. I pray you are blessed this day by Him who loves you as His very own.
In the beginning, we were one with God, then sin tempted us and we succumbed to the lure of the evil one. We became a lost people, doomed. Still God loved us. He wanted us to be one with Him like it was before. He missed us so much and wanted to hold us once again like He use to. But since sin can not exist with God we were doom to our isolation from Him. Then, God, who loves us so much created a plan for our salvation; a way in which we could be forgiven and everything between us and Him would be forgotten. Once again He would be able to hold us, express His deep love for us. We would be His children once again, and He would be our heavenly Father. So, He sent His only beloved Son Jesus! He knew He would have to cause Jesus to be sacrificed for our sins, but it was the only way. He grieved His method, but we are that special to Him! YOU are that special to Him! Even if you were the only one He could have and to hold He would have done it… just for you!
Times when we feel left behind, unloved or neglected we can believe without any doubt we are special! We can believe we are loved beyond all measure because our awesome, God loves us, really loves us! “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all thing? (Romans 8:32). Do you need to be encouraged? Be encouraged! Do you need to feel you are special? You are special! The apostle Paul said in (Romans 8:37-39) “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
You are not alone in your fears my dear friend! You are a beloved child of God. If you have feelings of separation, fear or doubt, come close to your Father now. Pray to Him, tell Him what is bothering you. He is waiting to heal anything that is troubling you.
Peace as always through Christ.
