GOD LOVED ME FIRST…

1 John 4:10,19 New King James Version
10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
19 We love [a]Him because He first loved us.

AND I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR THIS!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!!
What an incredible concept, to know that God loved us first. Amazing is it not? I thought about this as I read not only this morning’s scripture, but recalling other verses in scripture that taught the fact that God loved us first, and I can't help but be so thankful for this. The even more interesting part of this is that we are unable to do anything to earn that love, but all we need to do is accept it. I think that's why I agree with Monica LaRose, this morning's devotional writer when she said the following: “As Human beings, trust doesn't come naturally to many of us. So if experiencing God's grace and love were dependent on our ability to trust and receive it, we'd be in trouble!” That's why I'm so glad that God loved me first, and that that love is such a free gift and I'm glad I took it. I'm also incredibly challenged, as well as encouraged by the questions from this morning's devotional on this matter, and I'd like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions carefully, and I pray that God will open your eyes to see His abundant beauty and love toward you.

In what ways have you experienced God's grace, “drop by drop” in your life?

How has God's love helped you overcome fear in exchange for hope and trust?

Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me not just from His Word this morning, but things I have been learning from is word throughout my walk with Him, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you helps you to see the precious truth on how God loved you first and still does. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn this precious, beautiful truth for yourself! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I pray that as you recall all the experiences in which you've experienced God's “drop by drop” grace in your life, that you won’t be afraid to thank Him for it. Think of all the ways that God has helped you overcome fear in exchange for hope and trust and rejoice and be grateful for what He has done, is doing, and will continue to do for you. Take time today think of all the reasons that you have to love God and pour out your heart in praise and thanks to Him for it. Thank Him for loving you first even when your heart was too wounded and hurting to trust Him and live out every day the “drop by drop” love and grace that He offers you to others, so that you will one day find yourself experiencing showers of God's abundant beauty and love in your life. https://www.ccphilly.org/do-you-know-him/
