God shows his love for us in
so many ways. The first and most important act of love was that He gave his son, Jesus, so that we would
have everlasting life. This was the ultimate sacrifice that has ever been made
in the name of love. He did this to show his love toward us, even while we were
sinners.
Here are seven ways to know
God loves YOU:
God Loves You
God loves YOU! This is the greatest truth in the
entire world! His love sets you free. His love helps you to love yourself and
others. God loves you so much He sent His only begotten Son to live and die for
you so that you would be able to live with Him forever in heaven.
New Life
When you accept Christ, you
get a new life. God loves you so much that he not only gave his son so you
would have eternal life, but he washed all your sins away to give you another
chance, a new life, which is in Christ Jesus.
He Carries Our Troubles
God encourages us to cast
all our cares on him, because he cares for us. What a compassionate God we
serve. He wants to carry our burdens. He wants us to trust him enough to give
our cares to him. Just like our children come to us when something is wrong,
that is how God wants us to come to him.
Forgiveness
God shows his love as he
forgives us everyday. He shows us how to forgive others and he continually
forgives us for the wrongs we do and he continues to love us no matter what the
sin.
Personal Relationship
There is nothing that we
cannot share with God. He can be our most intimate friend with whom we can
share anything. We can go to him with our problems, our hurts, pain, fears, and
shortcomings. And if we go to him in true repentance and a changed heart, He is
just and faithful to forgive us; nothing will separate us from his love.
Grace
Sometimes God blesses us
just because he wants to. We have not done anything great or wonderful to
deserve the goodness of God, but he sees us as wonderful through the blood of
Jesus, and deserving of a blessing.
Healing
Although there may be
suffering in life, Our Father doesn’t want to see us in pain and hurting. He
heals our broken hearts, bodies, and minds. He loves us so much that when we
seek him out, he can and will heal us.
Love can be hard when you
come across someone who seems unlovable. They may have harsh words when they
speak to you, or they may do things that hurt your feelings and you wonder how
you can love this person.
Well the good news is if God
can love you and me with all of our short comings, and issues, we can ask him
to help us love others the same way. It
will not always feel good because it will be a struggle to overcome the selfish
nature we have to automatically protect ourselves and to retaliate.
Demonstrate the love of God
by showing kindness regardless of the situation. No one said love would be
easy. We are not focusing on the easy to love but those seemingly unlovable
people who you run into time after time.
Make a decision in your head and heart that you will show that person
the love of God through kindness regardless of their reaction. Do this enough
times and you will begin to see the power of love in action. Slowly that cold
barrier will start to dissolve.
Another way to show the love
of God is to be deliberate about loving others in your actions and words. Once
you decide how you will do this, the actual love acts will become easier and
you will begin to feel joy about how you are positively impacting others for
Christ.
Being slow to anger is another
demonstration of the love of God. There are times when you may be tired and not
have much patience, but remember that God shows us mercy every day and we need
to do the same for our brothers and sisters.
Protect your relationships
from the enemy by being willing to forgive and really forget if another has
offended you. This can be challenging when someone close to you hurts you but
you can forgive with God’s help. This not only shows God’s love, but it
strengthens our connections as the body of Christ.
Show love by thinking of
others before you think of yourself. Jesus was the greatest example of this by
his death on the cross. We need to die to ourselves everyday as a witness to
the love of Christ on this earth.
Keep trying to show the love
of God to everyone you meet. Think of ways you can change someone’s life though
an act of love. Love is powerful; give it freely and often.
February is the "Love" month as people celebrate Valentine's Day. I thought it fitting to start the month of February giving God thanks for His great love. There's no greater or purer love than that of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Obviously, there's a great many Scriptures that demonstrates just how great God's love is for His children; however, I chose the following three:
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten
Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”
(John 3:16).
“But God demonstrated His own love toward us, in that while
we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s
life for his friends” (John 15:13).
Father God, I thank You that You loved the world so much
that You gave Your one and only Son – Jesus Christ – that whoever believes on
Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Thank You, Father God, that we don’t have to be perfect or
get ourselves together first, or work to earn Your love or salvation. Jesus
already paid the price (ransom) for every human being on the planet!
Thank You, Father God, that You demonstrated Your own love
toward us while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. You already knew
ahead of time all the sin we would commit and the rebellious heart we would
have; You even knew we would reject Your Son Jesus. Yet, Jesus was still
willing to die a horrific death on the cross so that we would be redeemed from
eternal damnation and be reconciled to You Father.
Thank You. Lord for such a deep abiding love that You have
toward each one of us! Thank You for the blood of Jesus that saves, heals,
delivers, protects, loves, and covers a multitude of sin!
Thank You, Father, that the love of Jesus brings healing to
families, individuals, and even to the nations of the world that would receive
it. Thank You, Lord, that Your love never fails!
2 Peter 1:4 And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Matthew 11:28-29
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, 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 will find rest for your souls. Isaiah 40:29-31 He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. Philippians 4:19 And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:37-39 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Proverbs 1:33 But all who listen to me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm.” John 14:27 “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. Romans 10:9 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
The promises of God are powerful and awesome to grasp. I pray that these scriptures about God’s promises were helpful to you today.
Prayer does not need to be a flowery speech; its how we talk to God. We pray when we want to communicate thanksgiving or a need to our Heavenly Father. He is the source of our strength[1] and every one of our prayers is heard by Him. He not only listens and answers our prayers[2]; He also tells us how to pray. We see the model for prayer as given by Jesus in Matthew 6[3]. I list the model below amongst these ten powerful prayers for strength.
[4]
Jesus Taught Us How To Pray
Strength in What Jesus Teaches and Does
Jesus Teaches Us to Pray; Physical and Spiritual Strength
Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV) After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Jesus Acknowledges God’s Strength in Raising Lazarus
John 11:41-42 So they took away the stone. And Jesuslifted up his eyes and said,“Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said thison account of the people standing around,that they may believe that you sent me.”
Jesus Needed Strength; He Petitioned The Father
John 12:27-28“Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father,save me fromthis hour’? Butfor this purpose I have come to this hour. Father, glorify your name.”Thena voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
Jesus Prays For All Men; the Strength of Selfless Love
John 17 1When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, ”Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.
6 ”I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. 8For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. 9I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.
20“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.24Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
Powerful Prayers of Old Testament Men
Jabez Prayed for Strength in an Enlarged Land
I Chronicles 4:10 Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!” And God granted what he asked.
Nehemiah’s Prayer; Strength For a Big Project
Nehemiah 1:5-11 …“O LORD God of heaven,the great and awesome God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments,let your ear be attentive and your eyes open, to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night for the people of Israel your servants,confessing the sins of the people of Israel, which we have sinned against you. EvenI and my father’s house have sinned.We have acted very corruptly against you and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, and the rulesthat you commanded your servant Moses.Remember the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful,I will scatter you among the peoples,but if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them,though your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there I will gather them and bring themto the place that I have chosen, to make my name dwell there.’They are your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed by your great power and by your strong hand.O Lord,let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants who delight to fear your name, and give success to your servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.”
Jonah’s Prayer from the Belly of a Fish
Jonah 2:2-7 …“I called out to the LORD, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried,and you heard my voice. For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me.Then I said, ‘I am driven away from your sight; yet I shall again look upon your holy temple. ‘The waters closed in over meto take my life; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped about my head at the roots of the mountains. I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the pit,O LORD my God. When my life was fainting away, I remembered the LORD, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple.Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Salvation belongs to the LORD!”
Prayer For Strength in a Song
O Strength and Stay (John Bacchus Dykes; Ambrose of Milan)
O Strength and Stay upholding all creation, Who ever dost Thyself unmoved abide; Yet day by day the light in due gradation From hour to hour through all its changes guide.
Grant to life’s day a calm unclouded ending, An eve untouched by shadows of decay, The brightness of a holy deathbed blending With dawning glories of the eternal day.
Hear us, O Father, gracious and forgiving, Through Jesus Christ Thy co-eternal Word, Who, with the Holy Ghost, by all things living Now and to endless ages art adored.
Lead Me (Sanctus Real)
I look around and see my wonderful life Almost perfect from the outside In picture frames I see my beautiful wife Always smiling But on the inside, I can hear her saying…
Chorus:
“Lead me with strong hands Stand up when I can’t Don’t leave me hungry for love Chasing dreams, what about us? Show me you’re willing to fight That I’m still the love of your life I know we call this our home But I still feel alone” I see their faces, look in their innocent eyes They’re just children from the outside I’m working hard, I tell myself they’ll be fine They’re in independent But on the inside, I can hear them saying…
(repeat chorus)
So Father, give me the strength To be everything I’m called to be Oh, Father, show me the way To lead them Won’t You lead me? To lead them with strong hands To stand up when they can’t Don’t want to leave them hungry for love, Chasing things that I could give up
I’ll show them I’m willing to fight And give them the best of my life So we can call this our home Lead me, ’cause I can’t do this alone
Father, lead me, ’cause I can’t do this alone
Our God is Greater (Chris Tomlin)

Romans 5:8but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 8:37-39 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
1 John 3:1See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

What Did Jesus Say About Love
Matthew 5:43-48 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matthew 6:24-25 ”No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Mark 12:28-30 And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?” Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’
John 14:21-24Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.
John 15:9-17As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. These things I command you, so that you will love one another.
Bible Verses on Love for Marriage or Weddings
Song of Solomon 8:6-7 Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the LORD. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, he would be utterly despised.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
Ephesians 4:2-3with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Philippians 2:2complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.
1 John 3:18Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
Love Scripture Quotes from Proverbs or Psalms
