There’s something I tell my kids probably more than anything… so much so that Cole says it to me now before I can get the words out.
Me: “Do you know how much I love you?”
Cole: “Yes, but tell me.”
Me: “I love you so much that…”
Cole: “I know, mom, and God loves me even more somehow.”
My prayer for them that they would never desire to seek approval or praise from anyone, including us…but that they would know that no matter what a human thinks about them, God loves them more. Gods love is the only love that will actually nourish and grow and sustain them in this life. No matter who comes in and out of their life, God is their only constant. He never changes which means His love for them cannot be changed. I want them to always know that people will disappoint them. It’s inevitable. But God will never disappoint them. He won’t let them down. He is their go to.
The same is true for you. No one can EVER love you like He loves you.
“with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, for his steadfast love endures forever;”
Psalm 136:12 ESV
“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”
Romans 8:37 ESV
“Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,”
2 Thessalonians 2:16 ESV
