The LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love. [Psalm 147:11]
Not only does God love us, we were created to love God.
To love God with our whole being – with heart, soul, mind and strength.
To love God with joy, with pleasure, not just out of duty or obligation.
This is essential to our human nature, we were designed to love God this way.
We function best when we are loved by God, and love God.
We are dysfunctional when we miss out on God’s love, and do not love God.
I know what it is as a parent to love a child, and the wonder of being loved by my child.
How much more God, our Father, loves to be loved by those that He loves!
Can you hear the Lord asking you, like He asked Peter, ‘Do you love me?’
