Be confident of God's love for you

1 John 4:16 NLT

When you fail, God's love for you does not fail. And to enjoy the fullness of what He wants you to have, you must believe that. The knowledge of God's love will carry you through to victory when the powers of hell are against you. The knowledge of God's love will carry you through life's storms and into a place of peace. God's love is not restricted to the days when you have performed well. He loves you just as much during the times when you fail.

You need to be confident of His love, especially when you have trials and the devil is accusing you and saying, "Well, you must have done something wrong." God's love is not doled out on a merit system. You did nothing to deserve His love; therefore, you can do nothing to forfeit it.

John wrote: "We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect [mature]. So, we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. [We are clothed in Christ's righteousness.] Such love has no fear, because [God's] perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced [and embraced] his perfect love" (1 John 4:16-18 NLT).

So be confident of God's love for you.

BE STRONG

You don't charge someone to be strong if there is no task to be performed or if pressure is not required, either for motion or putting up resistance against an opposing force. In the physical realm, mere movement requires strength. This explains why a sick person or a person just recovering from an ailment finds it...More

Acts 5:4-5

God often proves to be other than people think. Here, for example, death struck a man suddenly for lying before God. Is God therefore severe, when he makes use of His power unreservedly towards the weak?
Let us first briefly examine what preceded this judgment. Holy zeal for the...More
