Many people simply can’t believe that the LORD loves them! Others believe that He loves them but only when they are pleasing Him in some way
Why is it so hard for us to accept GOD’S unconditional love?
Maybe because we ourselves have a hard time loving others without conditions!
Did you ever look for excuses to not show love to someone because they may annoy you or their behavior may upset you? So, we can wrongly assume that the LORD does likewise!
Another reason for not considering ourselves to be loved by GOD is because of a poor self-image! We need to remember that when it comes to being worthy of GOD’S love, there is not one of us that is!
It’s all because of His goodness, mercy, and grace that we can receive that love.
1 John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
If you feel unloved or struggle to accept yourself, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth of GOD’S loving and generous gift of grace through His Son, YESHUA! You are the apple of His eye and valuable to Him!
