YOU ARE GOD'S FAVOURITE
We know without a doubt that God loves us. His nature is love and to prove His love for us, He sent His only Son to die for our sins on the cross. 1 John 3:1 says: "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!". God loves every one of us with an incredible, incomparable, unconditional love. A love that goes beyond the ordinary. A love that is pure and selfless. A genuine love. A love that is beyond our understanding. He loves us each individually and considers us all His favourite.
However, we sometimes fall for the lie that God loves some people more than He loves us, and this has placed a limitation on our expectations from Him. Unlike humans whose love is conditional and can be partial, God knows every one of us deeply and is able to love each and every one in a very special way. No matter how bad our past may be, or how big a sin we commit, God's love for us remains constant. Jeremiah 1:5 says: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” This implies that God was deliberate in creating every one of us, and that we all have a specific purpose that no one else can fulfil.
In the eyes of God, every one of us is special. He wants to have an intimate relationship with each individual like He would have with no other. God doesn't just choose to pour out His love on one person but not another, neither does He pour out His love for one whilst giving little to another. He lavishes it on each one of us, equally and individually. He loves us so much that he has chosen to adopt us into His family. You and I have become a loved child of God (Ephesians 1:5)! As you go out today, remember you have a heavenly Father who greatly loves you and that you are His favorite. SHALOM!
CONFESSION
Thank You Father for Your marvelous love towards me. As I go out today, I bask in the warmth of Your love and care, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
