The intensity of God’s love for us is beyond our comprehension. People are incapable of loving as deeply as God and it’s not even close. God revealed the depth of His love for man to His Old Testament prophets. The prophets understood God’s deep love and they marveled at it.
Isaiah 54:10 – Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet My unfailing love for you will not be shaken.
Exodus 15:13 – You in Your mercy have led forth the people whom You have redeemed.
Zephaniah 3:17 – The Lord your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.
We all crave to be loved. God made us that way. When nobody else loves us we can know for certain the Creator of the universe loves us deeply and we are immensely valuable to Him. If the people thinking of taking their own life only knew how much God loved them there would be no suicides. They would understand they have great worth. We are somebody to God. We are His children and we are royalty in heaven who will one day judge men and angels. This knowledge should give us a quiet confidence as we go through this life. Our life is the “time of choice” for us to choose to follow either someone who loves us or someone who hates us. The choice is a “no brainer” for me. How about you? Rest secure in God’s love and let nothing move you from this truth. Always remember that God is forever faithful and cannot change, therefore nothing can separate you from the love of God in Christ.
Romans 8:38-39 – For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
