GOD LOVES Y0U
The story is told of an Italian orphan who wanted more than anything else to come to America.
One day the boy met an American. They became friends.
They talked a lot about life in Italy and America. The man grew to like the boy.
When the man mentioned going to school, the boy objected. “I don’t want to go to school,” he said. And the man said gently, “In my family, we try to learn as much as we can.”
Another time they talked about being honest. “In my family, we respect the property of other people,” the man exclaimed. And he grew to love the boy.
They also talked about being kind. “In my family, we try to help people-not hurt them,” the man said. The boy began to love him.
One day the man offered to adopt the boy and take him to America. He left the decision up to the boy.
“I do love you,” he said. “And I would like to be your son. But I’m not sure I can live like you do.”
The man reached out his arms. He said, “If you really want me for your father, you can be my son. Together we can learn how to live.”
The message of here is similar to the story of our heavenly Father who loves people and wants to have a personal relationship with them.
He wants us to be part of His family. And together we can learn how to live.
Our heavenly Father created each of us to share His love with us.
His love for us will go on forever. He keeps constant watch over us. From the moment we are born
God is there.
(Psalm 1 39:13-16)
13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
16 You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
We are very important and special to God. He sees us all as persons of great value and worth.
God’s love doesn’t depend on what we do or don’t do.
He values each of us equally-presidents, housewives, businessmen, factory workers, educators, preachers, ditch diggers, etc.
He loves us all the same.
You may feel that no one love you but let me tell you that God loves today.
“I love you.” God is saying Io us. “If you make up your mind that you want Me for your Father, you can be My child and learn My ways.”
God made us to have freedom of choice. He made us to be respectable persons.
He placed us on the earth to cultivate and care for it.
Instead of responding to God’s love and obeying Him, Adam and Eve, our first
parents chose to break their relationship with God and be independent. Since then, sin has become a part of all people—and is causing a deep separation between us and God. As sinners, we find ourselves alone, hopeless, and despairing without Him.
God still continues to love us,
and He wants to help us out of our desperate situation.
He wants to lift us out of a life of sin and death. We need His help. We need God!
