Most human love begins with attraction, connection, or something we see in another person.
God’s love is different.
He did not wait for us to notice Him.
He did not wait for us to choose Him.
He did not wait for us to get our lives together.
God moved toward us first.
John 4:10 tells us, “This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” (NIV)
Before you ever reached for Him,
He was already reaching for you.
Before you knew how much you needed Him,
He had already made a way for you to come home through Jesus.
You don’t have to convince God to love you today.
You simply get to receive the love He has already freely given.
God’s love does not wait for you to reach for Him.
He reached for you first.
He is reaching for you now.
You are loved.
How will you receive His amazing love for you today?
Father, thank You for loving me first. Help me stop striving for what You have already freely given. Open my heart to receive Your love and live from it today. In Jesus Powerful Name, Amen.

Thank you I have a hard time feeling loved. I am surrounded by 5 little people well two teens. But still feel a hard time finding worth within. I always worship through christian music. Every being within tears down and cries. When that happens I am thankful to experience the Lords love. # Endless Alelluia by Bethel Music I heard you can help write book. I would like to write a book about feeling and being broken. Feeling sad and going to Jesus for joy and to press through hard moments despite our emotions and how we feel. Use the broken to push through with JESUS. Also to write book for little kids about being kind etc. When I was in school a 2nd grade teacher came to me and said to me I would be an author. Still to this day her words haunt me.Please pray for my family. For my 5 kids Noe 13 boy, Serenity 11 girl, David 8 boy, Ezi 4 girl, Eli 2 boy. Ezequiel their father and myself.
Madelline, God is faithful to finish what he starts and grows the love He plants in us. You are in a busy and difficult season. You don’t have to be in a hurry. God is using this season to build in you the words He will pull out of you when it’s time. Enjoy your kids and love them. God will bring HIs word to fruition. I am praying for you!
