Because You are Mine….

Mine by cov'nant, mine forever; mine by oath, and mine by blood. Mine-nor time the bond shall sever; mine as an unchanging God. My Redeemer, my Redeemer...oh, how sweet to call Thee mine.  Author Unknown

'I Love You'. God speaks to our hearts. He speaks in a million possible ways. Do we listen? Through the hurt and through the pain, know that God watches over you. He has you safe in the palm of His hands. So don’t be afraid, 'because you are mine’, says the LORD.
    
God created us in His image. His love, for us began even before our birth. God’s plans are for our prosperity, to give us a better hope and a future. God is from everlasting to everlasting. And His love for us is from everlasting to everlasting.  God loves whom He pleases. Everything about God is infinite. No tongue can ever express God’s love and no mind can ever understand it. The love and favour of God are inseparable.

It is vital that our love for God increase in ways that help to decrease our love for earthly sources. We need to love God's close presence as our refuge, glory, and strength. Remember that your faith pleases God. God is a God who keeps His promises. He will draw near to you when you draw near to Him! And, your faith to trust Him to draw near gives Him great pleasure. Remember to love God and praise Him always. The more you treasure something the more single-hearted is your pursuit.

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. John 3:16. Would you understand, how difficult it must have been for God the Father to sacrifice His only son, Jesus. Jesus Christ died on the cross, not in order to make God love us, but because He did love His people, Calvary is the supreme demonstration of Divine love. The Father, loved us and sacrificed His son. Jesus loved, His Father, and out of love for us and His Father, came to this world. Search as much as you want, but to find this kind of love or even to fathom it is beyond every human understanding. Whenever you are tempted to doubt the love of God, DON’T…

Jesus, was not exempted from poverty, disgrace, and persecution. He hungered and thirsted. So many times, we feel all alone, miserable, dejected. You feel no one cares. But truth is, God always does. It was God’s will that Jesus go through the torments. See Jesus understands all the pain, and He mediates on our behalf to God the Father. Let no one call into question God’s love when He is brought under painful afflictions and trials. Jesus was born as a carpenters son. He had no where to lay His head. Would you still have questions? And would you still think that you are not loved or less loved?

But He did give Him the Spirit "without measure" John 3:34. God loves us because He is love. He created us to have a loving relationship with Him, and He sacrificed His own Son (who also willingly died for us) to restore that relationship.

The only way to our true happiness is through God’s plan. Sometimes God’s plan is difficult but there is no reward without a struggle, no crown without a cross. When we unite ourselves to the cross of Christ, our burdens are lifted and we will find the happiness we desire.

God is Love: True Love Only Comes Through a relationship With Him.

Because You are Mine, I Love You, My God.
