HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE ME

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

John 3:16 KJV

A little girl was talking to her daddy and she asked her daddy “How much do you love me?”  If we were to ask our Heavenly Father how much He loves us, He would reply “I love you so much that I gave My only begotten Son to die for your sins on the cross”.  We have a compassionate Heavenly Father. 

No one loves us like God and Jesus love us and nobody ever will.  Their love is unconditional and it will never end.  I know I write about Their love for us a lot but until we allow it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge, we will never be happy.  Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge into your heart?

Pastor Frederick Martin Lehman wrote a beautiful and inspiring hymn about the love of God.  It is one of my favorite hymns “The Love of God”.  “The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell; It goes beyond the highest star, and reaches to the lowest hell;”  O how our Heavenly Father loves you and me.

If God were to ask us to tell Him how much we love Him, could we honestly tell Him from the depths of our heart that we love Him with all of our heart?  We can say anything but God can see into our heart and He knows if we really love Him or if we are just giving Him lip service.  What does He see in our heart?

Heavenly Father, You can see into my heart and You know how much I love You.  There are times when I fail You but You know I love You.  Thank You for loving me and for sending Jesus into the world to die for our sins.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
