Gods Love for Me

How do I know Jesus loves me? I can tell you. He loves me because He created me. He created me for His purpose long before I came into this world. He had each moment of my life planned out. He knew the things that would happen to me, He knew all the struggles I would face and conquer. He knows every imperfection. He knows what’s ahead of me. Jeremiah 1:5 ESV- “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” I’m still very stubborn. I still make tons of mistakes. He still loves me. We all make mistakes, they are a part of life. We can trace them all the way back to Adam and Eve. God teaches us to learn from them and move forward with Him. He loves me through my mistakes, He convicts my heart, and I learn. He teaches us life lessons.
James 1:22-24 ESV- “But be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he looks like.”
God created me to have a loving relationship with Him. My own sin led me to my failures. He didn’t create me for failure, He created me to have a strong, secure, unbreakable bond with Him. But through sin, I fell flat on my face. He wouldn’t accept my circumstances though, He took what I deserved and hung on that cross so that I wouldn’t have to suffer. He knows the pains we go through, He went through so much more. He faced more struggles and complications than I could ever go through.
Luke 22:44 ESV- “And being in agony He prayed more earnestly; and His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”
That’s love! He gave it all for me. He desires my life to mean something. He shows me how to live each day for Him. He reminds me of how important I am to Him. So take hold of God’s hand and let Him take you through the amazing plan He has just for you. He loves you and knows you inside out, He knows all of the little details. Let the One who created you for good, lead you to glory!!

About Rita:
“Being a Christ follower throughout my life has been quite the journey. He’s taken me through deep waters and trials that have tested me over the years. I have fallen so many times, and He’s always been there to lift me back up on my feet. Through a series of broken relationships, I finally figured out what was important to me, putting God first and letting Him lead me. I love writing and learning, and growing with God. I have a beautiful, adult daughter that I love spending time with whenever I can. My hope is to be a tool for God to use to lead others to Him.“
