One of my favorite bible verses about God’s love for us is, “We love because God first loved us.” (1 John 4:19) As the song says, Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so!
We know in our minds that God loves us. So why does it not always feel that way?

God’s Deep Love for Us
Some days we may feel alone and in despair. We need someone or something to remind us of His love. Even with so many Bible verses about God’s love, many of us have a hard time understanding how it really is. Grasping the concept that He loves us no matter how we feel about ourselves is hard. We may feel that we have to perform well for God to love us more, or we try to accomplish something to earn His loving hand and approval.
But God’s love for us is never in doubt. Our works and deeds are done because we have a relationship with God, not because we earn more love. He loved us first and demonstrated His love when he sent His only son Jesus Christ to die for us. We have all fallen short and do not deserve such a love, but God gives it freely in spite of our failures.
Adoration, trust, and relationship is what He longs for in return. No amount of words or deeds could compare to the love He has for us, but we can praise and give thanks to Him daily. The greatest commandment is to love Him with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength.
You need not feel alone ever, because the Lord is your rock to stand on, the strength you require, and the comfort in times of trouble. His love covers all of your needs faithfully.
May these Bible verses about God’s love help you realize you are not alone. God loves you deeply, and He is our everything. May God Bless you abundantly.
