Jesus, do you still love me?
I snapped at the kids today. Do you still love me?
Remember that terrible thought I had? Do you still love me?
I forgot to read my Bible, and I haven’t prayed all day. Do you still love me?
I’m having moments of doubt. Jesus, do you still love me?
In our questioning God has answers.
“…Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love…” (Jeremiah 31:3 NKJV).
“And He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’” (2 Corinthians 12:9 NKJV).
“…And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age,” (Matthew 28:20 NLT).
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast,” (Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV).
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life,” (John 3:16 NKJV).
What a wonderful Savior we have. Despite our failures, He loves us enough to die so that we may live. Any doubt of His grace and love can be dismissed altogether.
“He was despised and rejected—
a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief.
We turned our backs on him and looked the other way.
He was despised, and we did not care.
Yet it was our weaknesses he carried;
it was our sorrows that weighed him down.
And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God,
a punishment for his own sins!
But he was pierced for our rebellion,
crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
He was whipped so we could be healed.
All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.
We have left God’s paths to follow our own.
Yet the Lord laid on him
the sins of us all.”
