I never realized how much Jesus loved me, but the more we walk with Him, the more we discover that His love is deeper than we can fathom. We may never fully comprehend its true depth, but we can spend our lives growing in the knowledge of it. Satan tries to snatch this love so our thoughts of Jesus will dwindle and we lose our close relationship with Him. We cannot let him deceive us. Instead, we must be steadfast in our faith and stand firm on the Word of our Lord!
It is not always easy. I have been sick for a while now and very discouraged that I will not get back to normal; Satan whispers negative things, like Jesus doesn’t really care. As I was praying and reading the Bible, Jesus showed me how Satan has been lying to me. We must keep our guard up to prevent Satan’s lies from having any power over us. Rebuke him and keep your eyes on Jesus at all times! As I keep my eyes on Him alone, many of my discouragements fall away. I feel such great love from Jesus revealing the truth to me in my hardest times.
I am still learning the depth of God’s love and will continue to seek His face daily. Everyday, I learn something new about His love. His love is not merely spoken through His Word, but shown! His love is a love of action. At the cross Jesus Christ showed the world what true love looks like. This is the kind of love He wants us to show to each other as well: through our actions. Thank you, Jesus, for being the perfect example of love!
Romans 8:38-39
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1 John 3:1
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not.
Psalm 103:11
For as the Heaven is high above the Earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him.
Lamentations 3:22-23
It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: Great is Thy faithfulness.
Isaiah 54:10
[Thus saith the Lord] For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.
