How You Are Loved

1 John 4:8-9--- He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Someone you may not know loves you.

You may never have heard the person's voice or see the person's face.

You may not believe you are loved, but believing or not believing makes no difference because you are loved anyway.

You are loved in spite of who you are and what you have done.

There are no requirements or stipulations for being loved because you are loved without any conditions whatsoever. You can run away and hide when you think you are being loved.

You can deny and make excuses when you think you are being loved.

You may be afraid of being loved.

You may even not want to be loved.

But no matter what you do, or the attitude you have, you will always be loved.

You will always be loved no matter where you go or where you are now.

Even if the whole world turns against you, you will still be loved.

Even if you make grievous mistakes, you will still be loved. Even if you are the richest or poorest person on earth, you will still be loved.

If there is one certainty in your life, this certainty is for most people an uncertainty, there is the certainty you are loved…and the person who loves you is God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit who surrounds you, uplifts you and walks with you every second.
