“God Loves First” by Kirk Hunt
We love him, because he first loved us.
I John 4:19 (KJV)
It does not get simpler. God loved us first. No qualifiers. No fine print.
We are in a no-risk position. We are free to love Him because we know. Not that He might, but that He already has.
It is reassuring to know that the Master of all creation has already committed Himself. I do not have to worry that my love to Him will be unrequited. I have no fear that my love will not be answered.
Patiently God waits for us. First, to realize that He already loves us. All he wants is for us to love Him back.
He knows your back-story and history, but He loved you first. He knows where you are and what you doing, but He loved you first. He sees your flaws, blemishes and imperfections, but He loved you first.
You do not have to worry He will not love you, since He already does. There is only one thing you can do about His love: love Him back.
There are no qualifiers to worry about. There is no fine print to read. There are just a pair of open arms ready to hold you with infinite affection.
Think: God loved me first.
Pray: “Father-God, help me to have confidence and joy in Your love for me.”
