“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son.”
If ever a man lived who knew and experienced the truth of John 3:16, it was Saul of Tarsus, later to become known in history as “Paul the Apostle.” We find his John 3:16 hidden in that great text in Galatians chapter two, verse twenty, “[God] loved me, and gave himself for me.”
For one reason or the other, many of the redeemed find it difficult to apply God’s love to themselves. With every ounce of emotion they can drum up, they still cannot enjoy basking in the Father’s love for them. Generally, the reason is lack of feeling; but it is not feeling, it is fact!
Feelings change in the body, but fact remains the same in the Bible. Emotion or no emotion, GOD LOVES YOU AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR YOU! Therefore, beloved, go on your merry way, believing and singing as you go, “ Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.”
And realize there is nothing you have ever done or can do, to stop God from loving you. WHAT A GOD!
