Know God's Love

“For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.” 
John 3:16(AMP)

Without love, life does not make sense. That is why God wants you to know, from our opening scripture, that He loves you with great love and prizes you dearly. When you know that God loves you with great love, you will never feel inferior anywhere, anytime and before anyone.

I have been privileged to have grown up in an exposed environment. While growing up, I noticed that, many of the children of the rich I met, had insecurities. At that time, one of the boys in my class from a wealthy home committed suicide. To know how rich they were, everything he wore on the day he killed himself was all new. He went shopping, bought new clothes and then went home to kill himself. He had everything a young child would want physically, but he never knew love.

Until you find out how much God loves you, you will feel worthless. Knowing that God loves you and accepting His love, adds value to your life. When you do not know God's love, you will attach your value to material things and positions but God's love shows you that your value is Christ.

Ephesians 3:19(AMP) says, “That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!”

Prayer.
Dear Father, in the Name of Jesus, I ask that You grant unto me according to the riches of Your glory, to be strengthened with might by Your Spirit in my inner man; That Christ may dwell in my heart by faith; so that I may be rooted and grounded in love, and to know the experiential love of Christ which passes mere human knowledge, and to be filled with all the fullness of God.

For further study, read: 
Romans 5:8, 1 John 4:9-10, 1 John 4:18-19.

Doing the Word.
Meditate on Romans 5:5, “…the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”
