No Matter What ... God Loves You!

Does life ever seem just too busy, just too frustrating, just too daunting?

No matter what is going on in life, always remember God loves you.

1John 3:1a: Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God...

Romans 8:38-39: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Always know God is there for you and hears your prayers.

Hebrews 13:5b: For he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

1Peter 3:12: For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

1John 5:14, 15: And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

Because of the work of our wonderful Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we have been justified freely.

Romans 3:24: Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

Always know when you turn to Him, God forgives you and gives you a new beginning. God is "rich in mercy," as we see in Ephesians 2:4, and has made a way for us when we fail to walk according to His Word. It's pretty simple and it's really true.

1John 1:9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

And your new beginning is at hand. Just remember:

Philippians 3:13,14: Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Philippians 4:19: But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

So no matter what is going on, never give up. God wants us to give all our burdens to Him!

1Peter 5:6,7: Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

He cares so deeply for us that in the next verse we are warned that the adversary may want to "devour" us, but we can resist, or stand against, him and be victorious.

1Peter 5:8,9: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

Everyone has their challenges, but we resist the adversary and he will flee from us (James 4:7). We can stand together as Christians, walking in love.

1Corinthians 15:57,58: But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

And finally,

1Corinthians 16:13,14: Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.
Let all that you do be done in love. (NASV)

Always remembering, God loves you and always will.
