Living in a time when the mental health of many people is in danger, where many worldwide are going through hard times, many are suffering, and many have also ruined their lives with drugs, alcohol, and immorality, and today they have no peace.
We want to remind everyone that the love of God:
Heals wounds.
Forgives.
Delivers.
Changes lives.
Takes away worry.
Breaks chains.
Conquers evil.
Never ends.
Lifts up hearts.
Brings peace to the conscience.
Calms broken hearts.
Brings new life.
Because even though people may abandon you, the love of God remains, and where the love of God is, there is life and life more abundant.
The love of God keeps us joyful in Christ Jesus and makes us more than conquerors. The love of God drives away temptation and gives us a firm Spirit to stand against evil. When the love of God enters our heart, sadness leaves, worry leaves, because where the love of God is, that means the presence of God is there and is manifested in us.
“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.”
Dios loves everyone, no matter your situation, no matter your color, God loves you; no matter how deep you have fallen into evil, the love of God pulls you out.
The word of God reminds us by saying: But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved). (Ephesians 2:4-5).
There is no person in the world who can offer a greater and more powerful love than the love of God. Love is here forever, love never fails. God truly loves us, and His love is not temporary, but His love is eternal.
“No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.” (1 John 4:12).
“Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” (1 John 4:10).
And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. The love of God is our refuge, our strong rock, we can hide in His love. His love is so beautiful that nothing can compare to it nor equal it, because His love is infinite.
The love of God is our strength, it takes away our fatigue, it gives us new life, it puts a new song in our mouth. There are things in our life that only the love of God can solve, because the love of God is simple, because God forgives and forgets.
“For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.” (Isaiah 54:10).
In the time we are living in, many young people rise up without love, because at home they did not receive it, and that causes many to have no fear of God, nor mercy for their neighbor. But God in His immense love still loves, and tells them not to faint: “I am here for you.”
