But God!

BUT GOD-- so rich is He in His mercy!  Because of and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love with which He loved us...

Eph. 2:4-10 AMP

Now to Him Who, (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do super-abundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes or dreams]...

Eph. 3:20 AMP

Many people struggle with believing they are loved by God.  Life experiences may have devastated them, stolen their dreams, stripped them of their self worth or caused them to distrust people.  Perhaps they were rejected by the one person who should have loved them the most, but didn't.

No matter what has happened in your life, know that God's love can heal every empty, aching, unloved place in the human heart.

Today, choose to receive the love that God has for you by faith.  In the same way you received Jesus as your Savior, you must believe and receive God's love for you.

When you truly know that you are loved by God, you can trust Him with your heart and trust that He has a purpose and plan for your life.  When God puts a desire in your heart, step out of your comfort zone and do it!  In Him, and through Him, you can do more than you have ever imagined or even dared to dream of.  His plans for you are better and higher than the plans you have for yourself.

You matter to God.  You are never just a face in the crowd or on the outside looking in.  These are lies from the enemy.  The truth is that God loves you more than you can fathom.  You have been placed on planet Earth for a distinct purpose at this time in history.  You may have made mistakes or taken wrong turns but that doesn't negate the plans and purposes of God for your life.

Step out in faith and dare to be who God has made you to be.  Be obedient to what God has spoken to you.  Don't wait for others approval and don't worry how other people will react.  Know that God loves you and He is for you.  Not everyone will celebrate you, BUT GOD does!
