Everlasting Father: God Loves You

“‘I have loved you with an everlasting love...’” Jeremiah 31:3

From the beginning of time, the Everlasting Father has loved you with an everlasting love. The Son that was given – born to a virgin in a humble stable and laid in a straw-filled manger – was sent because God “so loved the world.” (John 3:16)

The holy child, the Son of God, was sent to earth so that you could live and not die. Jesus is the promised sacrificial lamb, “slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelations 13:8) so that the sin that would prevent you from entering God’s presence would be covered by his blood.

What love displayed!

Before the world began, you were on God’s mind! You are not alone. The lover of your soul is right there with you, beside you, loving you even before time began.

If you’re feeling unloved and alone, remember the baby in the manger and then remember his death on the cross. This is love. This is God’s love for you.
