Loved

 LOVED



Ephesians 3:18-19 NLT (Paul is praying)

And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is. (19) May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.


God’s love for you is immense. It’s like looking up into a clear night sky and realizing it is too big to fully grasp.  It covers the deepest depths of your soul.  It is the perfect love that every person longs for, but no other human can give.  

Only the One who IS Love is even capable of true, complete, real love. 


You, my friend, are the object of that perfect love. 


Before you were even born, God knew you and loved you.  


There is even better news: NOTHING can separate you from that love. You can't even separate yourself from it. Life, death, angels, demons, challenging circumstances, fear or worry (aka not trusting God) - absolutely nothing can change God’s love for you. 


The key now is asking Him to help you experience it and have the mind and heart to understand it the best you can.  Living in the awareness of God’s incredible love for you will change everything.  


Never Forget the Truth - You are truly loved.


  •  God, please give me the power, today, to understand how immense your love is for me. Help me experience and fully know the love of Christ. May I live the true fullness of life and power that only comes from You.

Created


Psalm 139:13-14 (NLT)
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous - how well I know it

Friend, every part of you was designed and crafted by God.  Whether you fit the so-called ordinary human mold or you are differently abled, the Creator personally made you for a purpose for this exact time in history. 
You are a One-of-a-Kind. The Creator never EVER makes a mistake.  There are no accidents with the creation of life, because God loves people.  He absolutely loves you.  This is why you are here. This is why you are reading this reminder right now. 

When an item is hand-crafted with great detail, the artisan is proud of his work. 

A writer is proud of her novel as each word is poured over to create her story.  

A chef is proud of the meal he creates with perfect combinations of flavors and cooking techniques.  

Master creators are proud of their work.
The Ultimate Master Creator is proud of you. 

Our lives are not about our human conception, but about the One who made us, wonderfully and purposefully.  We each have unique abilities that can make the world better.  Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that God created us to accomplish good works that were prepared specifically for us in advance.


Never Forget the Truth - YOU were wonderfully made by the Master Creator.


  • Thank you, God, for creating every single part of me. Please help me to understand and appreciate your amazing creations, starting with me.
