Why is He merciful?

“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,”
Ephesians 2:4

Do you know why God is merciful to you? The Bible gives you the answer in our opening scripture. God is merciful because of the great love with which He loves you. I will like you to make this declaration aloud, “God loves me with great love.” Say it over and over again until it imparts your spirit.

I want you to realize that God loves you so much, and He was willing to do anything to have you including the death of His only begotten Son whom He loved. That is to let you know how much He loved you and wanted to have you and keep you. When you know that God loves you that much it changes everything in your relationship with Him.

Romans 5:8-10(GNB), “But God has shown us how much he loves us---it was while we were still sinners that Christ died for us! By his blood we are now put right with God; how much more, then, will we be saved by him from God's anger! We were  God's enemies, but he made us his friends through the death of his Son. Now that we are God's friends, how much more will we be saved by Christ's life!”

Knowing how much God loves, prizes and values you will cause you to have a better self esteem and deliver you from all forms of self hatred. Immediately you accept His love for you with your heart, you become a friend of God, saved by His life.

Confession.
I declare that I am a friend of God. God loves, prizes and values me. He loves me just like He loves Jesus, and I am saved by Christ's life. Amen.

Meditate on Jeremiah 31:3(MSG), “…I've never quit loving you and never will. Expect love, love, and more love!”
