A Reflection On God’s Love

When I need to remember how much God cares about me

Is the love of God lost on you? Are you one of the many who find it hard to believe God’s love for you is unconditional? Do you find it hard to love Him back? The burden of love is not on your shoulders, either in giving it or receiving it. It’s all about Him.

When you find it difficult to accept God’s amazing, unconditional love, meditate on His loving nature, not on whether you are worthy of it. Consider how Someone who defines Himself as “love” could think of you in any other way—regardless of what you’ve done. And when you find it difficult to love God with the type of worship and adoration He expects, meditate on His worthiness, not on your ability to love in return.

Love isn’t mustered up, it’s completely absorbed in its object. Let Him occupy your thoughts, and love will flourish. Where He’s involved, it always does.

The Father himself loves you dearly because you love me and believe that I came from God.

John 16:27
