It’s good to know that there is One who loves you with unconditional and everlasting love. God is faithful and does not change and has said, “I have always loved you and always will.” He does not love you when you are good and hate you when we are bad. He loves you in spite of our conduct, but desires for you to change because He loves you. And can’t you see why when you really love someone don’t you want them to love you in return? When you find how much God loves you – with great, intense and wonderful love then it makes you want to change. Don’t try to act right because you are trying to get God to love you but because you know that He ALREADY loves you. Even if you reject Him He will still love you but it takes two to be in a relationship. He has done everything He can to make it work including demonstrating how much He loves you by sending His Own Son to die for you. So the ball is in your court. The Holy, Awesome, Almighty, Loving, Faithful and True God wants to have a rich relationship with you. Will you open up your heart and let Him fill it to overflowing with His Love? When you do you will be forever changed and you won’t have to “try” to love God and good but your nature will be changed and you won’t be able to help yourself.
Rom 5:5
5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
NKJV
1 John 3:1a
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
NIV
