Bask In God's Love

God is love. And He loves you unconditionally. You have to know this with certainty if you want to experience freedom, wholeness, and true success. That's because God's love is healing, fulfilling, liberating, edifying, rejuvenating, and calming. Without full acceptance of His love in our lives, we are always striving, worried, anxious, and uncertain. We are unable to find peace.

God's love is undying and everlasting; His love is always there for you. Nothing can separate you from the love of God (Romans 8:38-39). We are the ones who put up barriers to receiving it by our own doubts and fears.

Not fully believing God loves us can cause us to do things out of insecurity. God's love makes us feel secure in ways that human love cannot. God's love is unfailing; human love isn't. God's love is unconditional; human love often puts up hoops for us to jump through and standards to live up to—or down to, as the case may be.

God's love is limitless and healing; human love can be healing too, but it has limits. That's because God is perfect and people are not.

God's love is forgiving, keeping no record of wrongs. Human love is often exacting, keeping a list of injustices. And while human love can make us feel better about ourselves, God's love transforms us.

Many of us don't feel worthy of God's love. We think we have failed in so many ways that He must surely not love us so much anymore.

Or we feel unlovable because of unloving things people have done to us in our past.

When we ask Jesus into our lives, the Holy Spirit of God is in our hearts. He is love and He is eternal. So we have eternal love in our hearts. Can it be, then, that the things you or I do out of a pure heart filled with God's love will have an eternal aspect attached to them?

Is that part of laying up treasures in heaven? (Matthew 6:19-20).

"Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (Matthew 6:21). If so, then we can't afford to not be a receiver of and a channel for, the love of God in this world.

If you doubt God loves you, go before Him and ask Him to help you sense His presence and His love. In order to heal, be made whole, and become enriched in your spirit and soul, you must do this often until it becomes part of you and is no longer something you have to grapple with. Going before God in worship and prayer, and thanking Him that He is the God of love, is the most wonderful, healing experience. Every time you do that, He will pour His love into you and it will grow. It doesn't get any better than that.

Don't just receive the idea that God loves you in your mind. Get it into your heart. Say, "Jesus loves me, this I know" 50 times a day, if necessary, until you become convinced.
