1 John 4:15-18 (NLT)
All who confess that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.
God never stops giving to us. He never stops blessing us with love and mercy. Nothing, absolutely nothing, can stop Him from loving you or make Him love you any more or any less. His love is the most, the best, and the perfect love. It is so much love that is hard for us to understand the amount, but that is beside the point, you are to know that He loves you more than you can ever imagine…which is a whole lot for sure!! His love will never change.
We however change; and our alertness and receptiveness of His love changes. Sometimes when we mess up, we feel like we don't deserve His love, so we draw away from God thinking that it is the right thing to do, but He is not loving you any less. He just wants you to come back closer to Him, He wants to hold you in His arms and love you. For you are His child, and He wants to comfort you. So next time you mess up, do not draw away from Him, draw even nearer to Him so that He can cover you in His love.
Deuteronomy 33:27 (NLT)
The eternal God is your refuge,
and his everlasting arms are under you.
He drives out the enemy before you;
he cries out, ‘Destroy them!’
Psalm 13:5 (NLT)
But I trust in your unfailing love.
I will rejoice because you have rescued me.
