John 17:23,26 New Living Translation (NLT)
23 I in them and you in me, all being perfected into one. Then the world will know that you sent me and will understand that you love them as much as you love me.
26 And I have revealed you to them and will keep on revealing you. I will do this so that your love for me may be in them and I in them."
God loves you just as much as God loves Jesus. Now take a minute and let that sink in. If you can grasp that thought it will change your life forever. You will never be the same again.
A lot of Christians are extremely hard on themselves. They have to be perfect and when they are not, watch out! Does God's love work that way? Does God love us when we are good and hate us when we mess up? NO! God would never do that. Now watch this closely. God loved you before the foundations of the world. God knew every single sin you would ever commit, and God loved you anyway. Now that you have committed the sin, do you think God will change His mind? Not a chance. God said He loves you. God is not going to change His mind.
Romans 8:35-39 The Message (MSG)
35 Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:
36 They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
We're sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.
37 None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. 38 I'm absolutely convinced that nothing--nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, 39 high or low, thinkable or unthinkable--absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.
Speak the Word:Father, you love me and nothing can separate me from your love.
