GOD'S LOVE NOTE ENCOURAGEMENT

Reading about how much God loves me in Jeremiah 1:15 and Psalm 139 are sometimes difficult to wrap my brain around. I struggle with how can such a big all-knowing, all-powerful God love an insignificant little person like me?

As a mom, reading several paragraphs from ‘Crazy Love’ helped me get it. Francis Chan says, “For the first time (after my oldest daughter was born) I got a taste of what I believe God feels for us. I thought about my daughter often. I prayed for her while she slept at night. I showed her picture to anyone who would look. I wanted to give her the world. Sometimes when I came home from work, my little girl greeted me by running out to the driveway and jumping into my arms. My own love and desire for my kids’ love is so strong that it opened my eyes to how much God desires and loves us. Through this experience, I came to understand that my desire for my children is only a faint echo of God’s great love for me.”

And I might add, how much He wants to spend time with me each and every day. Remember to shout words of worship, read about God’s love for you, hide His word in your heart and talk to Him throughout your day. He can’t wait to hang out with you.
