1 John 4:16 “ And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.”
God is love! Several times in the Word, the Bible, it says that God is love. (1 John 4:18, 1 John 4:16). This is a continual ongoing state of being for Him. His love does not fluctuate or come and go. It is continual, permanent, and unconditional. God judges, this is an action He does, that has a beginning and an end. His judgment comes about because He is just. However, His love is as eternal as He is. It does not start or stop. It is constant because He is love and He is everlasting. Love and holiness are unchanging attributes of an unchanging great and mighty God. Therefore; like His word says, nothing can separate us from His love because He lives, He is eternal (Romans 8:38-39), and He is love!
Since He is love and we are His creation we do not go unnoticed by God. He is faithful to His creation (2 Timothy 2:13). At times we may have moments when we feel like no one notices us or cares. We all have moments when we feel that way, but our God notices us and loves us. Just as His eye is on the sparrow, His eye is also on us (Luke 12:6-7), and He is concerned about every aspect of our lives.
Although at times it may not feel like it but, He is with us, He is for us, He loves us, all of us, and is not willing that anyone should perish (2 Peter 3:9). Pray and tell God how you feel. He will hear every word of that prayer.
Emmanuel, God with us!
Prayer:
Father, thank you for your love. Help me to remember that you are love and that your love for me is constant.
