God Loves You

He made each one of us special as well as in his image and he wants to have a personal relationship with each of us.

God Loves You
Sadie Stevens

Relationships tend to fluctuate over time. Your best friend from middle school might have adopted an entirely new group of friends, gradually pushing you out into the cold.

Maybe the same thing happened with the girl you thought of as a sister, once she found the guy she believed was her ā€œhappily ever afterā€. Or maybe it was even a parent, who was so immersed in their work that you were largely ignored for the sake of the almighty dollar. It may have happened to you so many times that itā€™s caused you to subconsciously draw parallels between those broken relationships and the relationship you have with God. You begin to wonder what will be the tipping point where He finally decides, ā€œIā€™ve had enoughā€.

If any of this sounds familiar, I want to encourage you in the fact that God loves you. Yes, you! I donā€™t care what label you place on yourself, whether itā€™s Christian, Atheist, Agnostic, Backslider, Wiccan, Liberal, Conservative, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Satanist or any other name under the sun. God loves you so much that He was manifested on the Earth as Jesus so that He could deliver you from all forms of bondage.


Scripture Verses


John 1:1 ā€œIn the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.ā€

John 1:14 ā€œAnd the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.ā€

Matthew 1:23 ā€œā€˜Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,ā€™ which is translated, 'God with us.ā€™ā€


Iā€™m sure youā€™ve heard it all before but for you the question remains, ā€œWill His love eventually fade if I fail?ā€ How can we be sure it wonā€™t? Because He promised to never change.

Malachi 3:6 ā€œFor I am the Lord, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.ā€

Hebrews 13:8 ā€œJesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.ā€


He loved you when you were at your lowest. Heā€™s omniscient, so He knew even the worst sin that you contemplated doing, but He had a plan to bless you anyway!

Romans 5:8 ā€œBut God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.ā€


Godā€™s love toward you does not have strings attached. He doesnā€™t have the human mindset of, ā€œIf you donā€™t misbehave, THEN Iā€™ll always love you.ā€ No, His love is unconditional and unfailing- no matter how far you fall. No matter how close you were to Him and how far youā€™ve run from Him, His love remains the same. Jesus loves you. Jesus loves you. Jesus loves you!


Hosea 6:6 ā€œFor I desire mercy and not sacrifice, And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.ā€

If you were on the path of righteousness and you tripped, fell on the ground and couldnā€™t get up, then I want you to know God doesnā€™t mock you. He just reaches out His hands for you to take, because not only did He start your faith but He will finish it too!

Hebrews 12:2 ā€œLooking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.ā€


John 6:37 ā€œAll that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.ā€

There is no sin that youā€™ve committed that would disgust God so much that He wouldnā€™t forgive you. His Word declares that if we go to Him with a sincere and repentant heart, Heā€™ll wash our sins away as if they never even existed. We are a new creation in Jesus Christ! We are the righteousness of God in Him by His mercy.

Acts 3:19 ā€œRepent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,ā€

Hebrews 8:12 ā€œFor I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.ā€

2 Corinthians 5:21 ā€œFor He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.ā€


He will never turn His back on you. His love will never go up or down based off your ā€œjob performanceā€. For God is love!

1 John 4:16 ā€œAnd 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.ā€


I hope this was helpful to you! And if youā€™ve never known God and have a desire to, then rest assured all you have to do is believe Him and youā€™ll be born again.

Acts 16:31 ā€œSo they said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.ā€™ā€
Romans 10:9 ā€œthat if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.ā€

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
