God Loves You More Than You Love Yourself

ROMANS 5:8 NKJ 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

God has proven His love for you. So don’t doubt it.

What proves that God loves you more than you love yourself? He died in your place – suffering the punishment for sin that you deserved, so you could go free. God was more willing to suffer Himself than to see you suffer.

Of course, the devil constantly tries to get you to doubt that God loves you. That’s why you must rely on what the Bible says – not what your feelings or circumstances may tell you.

You may think you don’t love yourself – maybe you think you hate yourself. Even if you don’t think too highly of what you have done, you still love yourself in the sense that you desire the best for yourself. You don’t desire pain or loss.

So it is with God – He desires good for you – even more than you do. And He demonstrated at Calvary that He would put your interest before His own.

1 JOHN 4:16 NKJ 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

There are at least two reasons why God loves you so much. First, it is His nature to love. The Bible says that God is love. Love is the word that best describes God’s nature.

Second, you are His creation. God loves you just as good earthly parents love their offspring. People may not seem very special to others, but to their mother and father they are always special. This should help you understand how God could really like you – even though you may not like yourself very much.

Also, God sees you as you can be and will become – not just as you are now. God has faith in you and in His ability to make you someone special.

SAY THIS: I choose to believe what the Bible says: God loves me.

Glorify God In Death

ECCLESIASTES 3:1-2 KJV 1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; Death is a part of life we cannot escape. The Bible does not say a certain time has been determined for you to die. It says it has been appointed for us to die once. After death there will be judgment (not reincarnation.) HEBREWS 9:27 KJV 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: There is a time to die. When you have lived a full life, then it is time to face death. It is also a good time to die when you can glorify God by your death. Too many people think life is to be grasped at any cost. Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s, and we should seek to glorify Him and please Him. JOHN 21:19 KJV 19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. ROMANS 14:
