Feeling Unloved and Unseen? Here Are Reminders of the Best Love Ever – God’s Love.

Love is an emotion characterized by strong feelings of affection for another arising out of kinship, companionship, admiration, or benevolence (Britannica).

God is love. The best description of love is found in John 3:16, which says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

It’s essential to remember that there’s no better love than the love God has for us. And God has commanded us to love others as He has loved us (John 13:34).

In the Bible, we see that God is a loving Father. Here are some reminders of His love:

• Love Cares: Do you feel uncared for here’s a reminder of God’s love, and how much He cares for us. God cares for us deeply. In Matthew 6:26-30, Jesus says, “Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?… And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.”
• Love Provides: The other day, you were in lack and as always, God came through for you in ways you didn’t even expect. Fear not, God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He will come to your aid today. God provides for His children abundantly. In Matthew 7:9-11, Jesus says, “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!”
• Love Sacrifices: There’s no love without sacrifice, and Christ has made the greatest sacrifice ever. Romans 5:8 says, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
• Love Protects: Are you scared of the plans of the enemy? Here’s a reassurance, God protects His children with care. In Psalm 91:11-12, it says, “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.”
• Love Comforts: Are you in despair, so you feel depressed, neglected. God is stretching His arms, allow Him into your heart. God comforts His children in times of need. In John 14:16-17, Jesus says, “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth.” Matthew 11:28-30 says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
• Love Sees: God sees us and knows each and every part of our being. In Genesis 16:13-14, Hagar, who was distressed and in the desert, encountered the angel of the Lord. She realized God was aware of her circumstances and called Him El-roi, meaning “You are the God who sees me… I have now seen the One who sees me.”
• Love Listens: You need someone to talk to? God listens to our prayers and answers. God knows the voice of His sheep. In Jeremiah 33:3, it says, “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”
• Love Heals: I want you to hold on God no matter how terrible and sad the hospital report says. God is the Great Physician. In Matthew 15:30, it says, “Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them.”

Call to Action:

Now, take a moment to reflect on the aspects of your life where God’s love is visible and undoubtedly present. Hold on to His faithfulness, and in prayer, ask the Lord to help your heart.

Conclusion:

As children of God, we’re commanded to love others as He has loved us (John 13:34). Love can be shared through the smallest acts of kindness. A smile, a thoughtful gesture, or a kind word can go a long way. True love goes beyond public displays; it’s about genuinely regarding others with kindness and respect. It’s about being willing to sacrifice for the benefit of others. Love is doing good without expecting anything in return. As Jesus taught, love is forgiving others “seventy times seven” (Matthew 18:22).
