Did you know that God loves you? Did you know that He who created EVERYTHING loves YOU the most? YOU are His greatest most treasured creation? The God who made everything and could have anything, wants YOU? Just like you are? It's true.
Did you know that even though God has power over all things, He won't force you to love Him back? He will call to you, love you, even if you won't love Him back? God will never force Himself on you, that wouldn't be love. God has given us all the choice to love Him, but no matter what we chose, He loves us. Always. Forever. No matter what.
Can you imagine what kind of power it takes to speak the universe into being? Now can you imagine that God wouldn't use that same power to force us to bow down and worship Him? Can you imagine that He who has always been and always will be, stands at the door of your heart and knocks, but would never break down the door and force his way in? But, why? Why does God not just make us love Him? Because forced love isn't true love. Only love given freely can be called true love.
Jesus loved us sooo much that he left his rightful place in Heaven and came down to live as a man, with us, GOD with US. He suffered and died and was separated from his Father, for us, for YOU! Jesus defeated death, hell and the grave, for YOU! And he won't force us to love him back. Can you imagine?
But He wants you to love him. He wants you to trust him. He desperately desires you to come to him and let him into your heart. Jesus calls to us, gently, romancing us to come to him, to let him in and to love him. The creator of the universe wants nothing more than for us to love him and obey him. And when we do, there is the great reward not only of Heaven someday, but of knowing that the Master of the Universe is with you, loving you, holding you, seeing you through every tough time you will ever face, and making it all work for the good of you, the one much loved by God.
YOU are MUCH loved by God.
