This was my devotion for today...just thought I'd share...! :) With love. It's taken from a book called "Hope for each day" by Billy Graham.
In this is love, not that we loved God, but the He loved us! 1 John 4:10
"The supreme happiness of life", Victor Hugo said, "is the conviction that we are loved". Love is the first requirement for mental health," declared Sigmund Freud.
Unfortnuately, many people go through life feeling unloved- and unlovable. Perhaps they were constanalty critisised or ignored as children, or their family was torn by conflict. Perhaps they made bad choices about important issues in life- which only confirmed their belief that they were unworthy of love. This may be your experience.
But listen: I have good news! No matter the reason, your feelings aren't telling you the truth! God loves YOU, and if you begin to see yourself the way God sees you, your attitudes will begin to change. If He didn't love you, would Christ have been willing to die for you? But He did! The Bible says "By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us" (John 3:16).
God loves you. Hammer the truth into your heart and mind every day! It will make all the difference!
