God's Love

I am about to start a small group study of the book "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan. The first chapter is all about how big God is and how big His love for us is. It is amazing to think that the same God who created the universe also created the earthworm and EVERYTHING in between. He is the same God who loves each and every one of us SO MUCH that He sent His son to die on the cross for us.

~Matthew 10:27-33 (NIV) - What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be aftraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.

God loves us so much that He knows how many hairs are on our heads. He takes notice of the tiny, insignificant things in our lives. Why, then, do we doubt that He cares about us when hard times come? Why do we forget that He never leaves us? He never loses track of us. He knows exactly what we're going through, and it's up to us to remember to look to Him for the guidance to get through whatever situation we're in.

~Proverbs 15:3 (NIV) - The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.

God knows where you are right now. He knows exactly what you need in your life. Can you trust Him enough to ask him for guidance and then follow His words to you?

~Psalm 46:10-11 (KJV) - Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

God will never leave you, never forsake you. All we have to do is place our trust and our faith in Him.

God Bless,
Taylor
