God’s Never Failing Love
Max Lucado
The big news of the Bible is not that you love God but that God loves you!
He tattooed your name on the palm of
his hand.
His thoughts of you outnumber the sand
on the shore. You never leave his mind, escape his sight, or flee his thoughts.
You need not win his love. You already
have it.
He sees the worst of you and loves you
still.
Your sins of tomorrow and failings of
the future will not surprise him; he sees them now.
Every day and deed of your life has
passed before his eyes and been calculated in His decision.
He knows you better than you know you
and has reached His verdict: He loves
you still!
No discovery will disillusion
him.
No rebellion will dissuade him.
He loves you with an everlasting
love.
God’s love—never failing. Never ending.
A loving Father
God reveals
Himself to mankind in the role of a Father in several contexts. The most
important is that of a spiritual Father.
Thus, Christians
experience a God who expresses all the qualities of a loving Father.
- He gives us life (John 3:3);
- He loves us (John 3:16);
- He rewards our
efforts (Hebrews 11:6);
- He communicates with us through His Word (John
17:17; Ephesians 1:13; Colossians
1:5; 1 Thessalonians 2:13);
- He corrects us
lovingly (Hebrews 12:3-11).
.
And, most important, God will grant us the
ultimate gift, eternal life in His Kingdom through His grace if we repent of
our sins and obey His commands .
To experience God
as a personal, caring, loving Father, you have to receive Jesus Christ as your
personal Lord and Savior. You will become a child of God and begin the fulfillment
of the reason you were created by God.
Say the following prayer:
“Father God, I confess I
am a sinner and my sins have separated me from You.
I am truly sorry. I now want to
turn away from my past sinful life and live a new life pleasing to You.
Please forgive me, and
help me avoid sinning again.
I believe that Your Son,
Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and
hears my prayer.
I invite Jesus to become
the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Thank
You that according to Your Word, I am now Your child, and I am born again.
Please send Your Holy
Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. I
promise to study Your Word – the Bible.
Please use me for Your
glory.
In Jesus' Name I pray.
Amen.”
