God IS Love!

“And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.” 1 John 4:16

God is love. He cannot help always loving because that is who He is. God can only love you because He is love. He loves you every day; not only on days He feels like it or on days that you please Him. His nature, character, personality is love.
God loves you.
He feels affection toward you.
God is especially fond of you.
He loves you dearly.
He is well pleased with you.

He is well pleased with me? Yes! Because He made you. He formed you. He perfected you. He knows you. Deeply. Inside and out. He is pleased with you. That’s what ‘agape’ means.

Do you believe God loves you? Like that? So deeply. Can you even begin to comprehend the width, length, depth, and height of His love? It is a love that surpasses knowledge. I don’t think we need to comprehend it, even try to understand it.
We just need to accept it.
Believe it.
Abide in it.
Wallow in it.
Just settle in and let it splash all over you.
Coating you.
Covering you.
Protecting you.
Redeeming you.
Saving you.
Healing you.

Wallow a little. Abide a little. Indulge in His plentiful supply. Devote yourself entirely to His love. Abide in God’s love and let God abide in you. Remember, God loves you because He is love. He cannot help but love you.

Hi - I'm Claire. I am married to the man of my dreams and have two of the most wonderful children anyone could ever hope to have. In fact my life is totally blessed. I fell in love with Jesus when I was very young and have been on an incredible journey with Him ever since. Some of it has been very tough and I find the very tough times were when I wasn't walking with Him or paying close attention to what He was saying! Now I find myself more in love with my Father than ever before - knowing that my journey is not even close to over! My prayer is that this blog will inspire you and perhaps even persuade you to look for the Lover of Your Soul and grow closer to Your Abba Father just like I did.
