“The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.’ ”
— Jeremiah 31:3
Our limited human minds find it hard to grasp how much God loves us. His love continues forever and can be counted on in all our times of need. Think about the person you love most in the world. Then multiply the love you feel for this person a thousand times. That’s only a tiny drop of the love — the everlasting love — that God feels toward you.
Every day for a month, take a few minutes to think about how much God loves you. Say it out loud: “God loves me. The all-knowing, all-powerful, all-loving God of the universe loves me!” See how that changes your feelings during the month. We would live much differently if we truly understood how much God loves us. He wants only the best for us — all the time. God wanted us so much that he pulled us to him. Jesus said, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them” (John 6:44). People do not come to Christ strictly because of their own ideas or decisions. It is God pulling them to him. He loves you and wants you that much!
