1. GOD LOVES ME

THOUGHT

There is a God that loves you with an incredible love. He knows your innermost being, He is with you in your loneliest moments and loves you on your worst days. This loving God is real, and you can actually know Him. He wants nothing more than for you to experience His love personally and to discover the purpose of your life in your relationship with Him, finding true fulfilment in life.

QUOTE

“The love of God does not find, but creates, that which is pleasing to it.” Martin Luther

EXAMPLE

Imagine a newborn baby: After nine months the long-awaited child is born. They say that first impressions count but a newborn baby doesn’t know this. At first, the baby does nothing but “cry” and “poop”. During its first years it will never set the table or take out the garbage, it won’t mow the lawn or do anything else useful. It does nothing to earn the love of its parents. And now imagine a doctor telling you, “your child is dying and will only survive with a transplant from your body, but you will not survive the transplant.” What would you answer? Maybe you would give your life for the life of your child without it ever having done anything for you. If you, as an imperfect parent, already love your child this much; how much more does God – your heavenly Father – love you?

QUESTIONS

How would you describe your relationship with God? Do you believe that God knows and loves you – if yes, how do you know?

PRAYER

“Dear God, if you really exist, I want to know you. Please show yourself to me, help me find you and experience your love.”
