God Loves You
Personally & Unconditionally

The first Scriptural principal for living an effective Christian life is surrendering to God’s perfect plan for your life. This is easier to do when you have a fuller understanding of the love and power of God.

God loves you with an everlasting, unlimited love. God loves you personally; he cares for even the smallest details of your life. He desires to do good for you even more than you desire to do good for yourself. Read about how much God loves you:

(Jeremiah 31:3) The Lord appeared to him from afar, saying, "I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness.

(Jeremiah 29:11-13) ‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.’

(John 10:10) "The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly.

(Matthew 11:28-30) "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. "Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. "For My yoke is easy, and My load is light."

(Psalms 145:18-20a) The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry and will save them. The Lord keeps all who love Him...

(Isaiah 49:15-16) "Can a woman forget her nursing child, And have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will not forget you. "Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.

God loves you unconditionally. This means that He doesn’t put any conditions upon His love for you. He never says, "I will love you if..." There is nothing that you can do to earn His love. There is nothing that you can do to make God love you more than He already loves you right now. Read about how God loves you freely, without any conditions:

(Romans 5:8-10) But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

(Jeremiah 29:13) ‘And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

(Ephesians 2:8-9) For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast.

(Romans 8:38-39) For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

(Luke 19:10) "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."

(Luke 15:7) "I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

(1 John 4:19) We love, because He first loved us.

Trust in God’s plan for your life. Know that He who can do all things wants to do good for you. He will show you His perfect plan for your life. Tell God: "I trust in you. Lead me in my life."

(Psalm 25:4-5) Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

(Psalm 31:3) Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me.

(John 10:2-4,14) "The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice...I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me--"

(Jude 1:21) Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

Pray: "Father, give me a deeper revelation of your love for me. Help me to realize how much you desire to do good for me. Reveal to me the areas of my life in which I have not asked you for help. Help me to trust in you."
