God is Love

My love has bonded with you.

John 17:25-26
25 “You are my righteous Father, but the unbelieving world has never known you in the perfect way that I know you! And all those who believe in me also know that you have sent me! 26 I have revealed to them who you are and I will continue to make you even more real to them, so that they may experience the same endless love that you have for me, for your love will now live in them, even as I live in them!” TPT

My love has bonded with you in the same way you are eternally united with My beloved Son. And there is nothing you could ever do to change that dear child. So don't fear losing your royal place in My heart, for it is impossible.

As water and food coloring cannot be separated once they are mixed, neither can anything in all creation separate you from My love. After all, you are in Christ, He is in you, and I am in Him, so you are forever joined with Me.

So take heart, little one, and trust in My love for you today. And as your confidence in My unwavering affection continues to grow, the fruitfulness of My Spirit will abound more and more in your beautiful heart.

 
My love is dependable.

Psalm 86:15
But you, O Lord, are a God of compassion and mercy, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness. NLT

You may have experienced much disappointment as you grew up when people let you down. I understand how painful this has been and how it has shaped your view of love, especially when this hurt has come from the ones who were meant to love you with parental love.

But today, dear child, I want you to know at a deeper heart level that the fragile, conditional love you have experienced is nothing like the eternal, unconditional love I have for you. For I am your true Father, and My love will never fail you.

And I want you to know that My love for you is not based on your wavering faith but on My steadfast faithfulness, for it is as faithful as the rising sun and immovable as the highest mountain. If you open your heart and dare to believe this is true, your anxious heart will rest as you begin to trust Me. All the while knowing that you can depend on My love to carry you today, tomorrow, and forever.

 
My love has always known you.

Jeremiah 1:5
“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” NLT

From before the foundation of the world, dear one, I knew you, and I loved you. And I looked forward to when you would awaken to your true destiny and take your rightful place in My family through the finished work of My beloved Son, Jesus.

You are one of My greatest masterpieces, and your life brings Me much joy. If you could see yourself today as I see you, the joy I have for you would fill your heart. For there has never been another you in all of history, and only you can reflect My unique image through all the gifts I have given you. I have even taken the time to number each one of the hairs on your head!

So be encouraged and strengthened today, for I am an attentive Father who knows what you need before you even ask for it. And I want you to come boldly to My throne of grace to receive all the help you need for this day.

 
My love is merciful.

Matthew 5:7
“How blessed you are when you demonstrate tender mercy! For tender mercy will be demonstrated to you. TPT

My tender mercy is woven into everything I am and do, dear child. And I never tire of showing mercy to those I love, for My love endures forever. I also want you to know that there are no limits to the forgiveness I have for you. For in Christ, I have, once and for all, separated you from your sin as far as the East is from the West.

So when you show mercy to others, it makes Me smile because you are responding just like I would. For when you give the gift of My compassion to those who don't deserve it, you are revealing the tenderness of My heart to those who desperately need to know they are loved too. And that makes My heart rejoice!

So, in every opportunity today, My little one, demonstrate My tender mercy to everyone you meet. And as you do, you will discover that My goodness and mercy follow you wherever you go.

 
My love is approving.

Matthew 3:16-17
16 And as Jesus rose up out of the water, the heavenly realm opened up over him and he saw the Holy Spirit descend out of the heavens and rest upon him in the form of a dove. 17 Then suddenly the voice of the Father shouted from the sky, saying, “This is my Son—the Beloved! My greatest delight is in him.”

I was so delighted with My Son, Jesus, at His baptism that I tore the windows of heaven open and declared My great love for Him for all to hear. Of course, He had always known this to be true, but in My heart, I wanted the whole world to know it, too.

And it was from this place of My approving, affirming love, before Jesus did even one miracle, that He was launched into His destiny. And so it is with you, dear child. My love for you is from everlasting to everlasting and is not conditional on your performance... past, present, or future. And as Jesus lived under an open heaven of My delight, so do you.

I have already sealed you with the ultimate token of My love, My precious Holy Spirit. And His presence, forever joined with you, is the down payment of your eternal inheritance and a constant reminder that you truly are My child and heir. So whatever you do today, know that the blessing of My approving love will launch you into your destiny.

 
My love is unceasing.

Psalm 107:1
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. NLT

I love you as much today as I loved you before I created the world, and I will continue to love you with all My heart throughout eternity. For My love is the substance of My being and the essence of all that is good and noble in My Kingdom.

If you would dare to believe that to be true today, all fear of rejection would cease. And all fear of being judged and condemned would lose its mooring in your soul because you would know that you are eternally loved and accepted by the One who is love.

So open up your heart today for a fresh outpouring of My unceasing delight and acceptance over your life, dear child, and watch as My perfect love drives out everything that makes you feel afraid and insecure.

 
My love is your inheritance.

Ephesians 1:17-18
17 I pray that the Father of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to you the riches of the Spirit of wisdom and the Spirit of revelation to know him through your deepening intimacy with him. 18 I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light, until you experience the full revelation of the hope of his calling —that is, the wealth of God’s glorious inheritances that he finds in us, his holy ones! TPT


My dear child, I want you to explore the earth-shaking implications of your birthright more deeply today than ever before. In doing so, you will experience a continuing expansion of Kingdom revelation that will help you grasp what it means to be My beloved heir.

You are not a servant or a slave trying to earn your way into My good graces, but you are already My precious heir through your new birth. And you are also a co-heir with Jesus in all that He is and all that He possesses in My immeasurable Kingdom.

So stop trying to be good enough in your own works today, little one, for that hamster wheel of performance will never have an end. All I want you to do is rest in the unshakable inheritance that My love has already imparted to you in Christ. If you open up your heart to the wonder and awe that is already yours today, you will experience a greater impartation of My glory than you have ever known.

 
My love is mighty to save.

Zephaniah 3:17
For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” NLT

There is nothing that will oppose you this day that we can't handle together, dear one. I am with you every step of the way, living in your midst. And My great love is your defender, surrounding you like a shield to keep you safe and secure.

Though trials may come, I want you to know at the very core of your being that these hardships do not define you. You are more than a conqueror through My love for you in Christ. If you dare to believe that today, you will know that nothing in all creation can separate you from My love. Even death itself has lost its sting because of your mighty Savior.

So take heart, My beautiful child, knowing that you are always nestled in My embrace—today, tomorrow, and forever.

 
My love is unchanging.

Hebrews 13:8
Jesus, the Anointed One, is always the same—yesterday, today, and forever. TPT



The temporal love you experience in this broken world is often fickle and conditional, dear child. It is based on a fallen humanity where people's selfish desires and fickle emotions can dictate whether a person is accepted or rejected.

Religion can also magnify these distorted perceptions of love by creating impossible systems and rules that must be followed to feel accepted. All these misrepresentations of love result in a shame-based, fearful understanding of love.

But the truth that will set you free is knowing that My love is always the same - yesterday, today, and forever. It is steadfast and fully committed to your good no matter how you behave on any given day. So take a deep breath today, My little one, and rest in My unwavering affection for you. For My heart will never change towards you... ever.

 
My love is peaceful.

Philippians 4:6-7
6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. NLT

I don't want you to worry about anything, dear child, because worry distracts you from this moment with Me. Instead, when things weigh heavy on your heart, bring them to Me, for I know what you need before you even ask.

And as you release every one of your cares to Me, all your burdens will be lifted off your shoulders, and you will experience a supernatural peace that will surpass your understanding. I want you to live all the days of your life in this place of perfect peace. For I never created you to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders.

So even now, little one, bring every concern of this day to Me, knowing that I deeply care for you and promise to meet all your needs. As you trust Me to look after you, all the heaviness that weighs you down will be lifted as My peace guards your heart and mind.

 
My love is astronomical.

Psalm 147:4
He counts the stars and calls them all by name.

If you want to know how big My love is for you today, look up and try to count all the stars in the night sky. Though they are innumerable to you, I have counted each one in the same way that I have numbered every hair on your head. And as the cosmos continues to expand throughout the universe, My great love continues to expand within your heart.

I know it is difficult for you to comprehend such big things in your limited understanding. But if you let My Spirit awaken a greater revelation of My astronomical love for you today, He will strengthen your spirit so you can know My eternal affection more today than yesterday.

You only have to receive it with the beautiful simplicity of childlike wonder and trust. For in the very depth of your inner being, you know you were created for this. So close your eyes, little one, relax, and breathe in all My love that surrounds you and is in you, and My Spirit will do the rest.

 
My love is hopeful.

1 Corinthians 13:7
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. NLT

Now, these three things remain: faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love. When you begin to see everything through the lens of My love, dear child, you will see how intertwined faith and hope are with the essence of My being, which is love.

I will never lose faith in you because I love you with an everlasting love. And because I will finish what I began in you through your union with Christ, My heart is filled with the hopeful expectation of your glorious future.

So, even when you lose faith, dear one, be encouraged that I will remain ever faithful. And even when you feel hopeless amid your circumstances, know that I will always remain hopeful on your behalf because I see you through perfect love. So take a deep breath, little one, and relax because My love is holding you close... today, tomorrow, and forever.

 
My love is never-ending.

Jeremiah 31:3
Long ago the Lord said to Israel: “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.

You have a brand new opportunity to experience My never-ending love today. For the essence of My unfailing love is new every morning. So, I encourage you, dear one, to posture your heart so that you receive a fresh outpouring of My affection for you in a brand new way.

Today's mercies have never existed before and flow from everlasting to everlasting from My heart to yours. And right here in this very moment, My eternal heart kisses you where you are, no matter how good or how bad you feel about yourself, because My unconditional love reflects My unwavering commitment to you.

So be strengthened today, little one, knowing that My eternal life flow is intersecting your temporal life experience. If you dare to believe this to be true, it will make a world of difference as you go about your day, knowing that there is nothing you could ever do to make Me love you any more than I do right now.

 
This phrase is technical and comes from theology and philosophy.

It's the seeming contradiction between a loving God and the extent and depth of evil he allows in the world.

It carries difficult emotional and logical objections to Christian theism.
C.S. Lewis argued that free will, not a flaw in God's nature, is the source of evil and that "God is love" necessitates free will to allow for genuine love and obedience. He countered the problem of evil by proposing that evil is a consequence of human choice and that God uses suffering to help people grow into holy love, a necessary part of a truly good relationship with Him, not a simple contradiction to His love
