Everyone wants to be LOVED

Everybody needs somebody who wants them.

God has made all of us with an inner need for relationships. Everyone at sometimes needs somebody to give them a hug or a caring pat. Everyone loves to be loved.

There are times everyone needs somebody to be there in moments of happiness or tragedies.

We need somebody to be with us when the storms of the world rage against us.

Sometimes those who we thought were friends reject us. Often our truest friends disappoint us, and our closest loved ones do not understand us.

Everybody needs somebody to love.

In the heart of every person there are longings that sometimes people fear to speak, thinking it may seem odd or what the other person might think of them. There are feelings which cannot be put into words or expressed to even our closest ones. Most people have experiences locked within their hearts which no one truly knows.

Everybody needs somebody at sometime. 
Everybody needs somebody to love.

The loneliest place in the world is often in the midst of a crowd. The loneliest people in the world are those who are trying to cover up their loneliness with laughter.

Everybody needs somebody to love.

There is a longing within the heart of every one for some one-who can lighten the burden—someone who will not make fun of us, but who has shared the same trials. We long for someone to listen to us with interest, someone to walk by our side. When we do not find such a one, the human heart grows discouraged and despondent.

Remember: Everybody needs somebody to love.

Dear friend, if it seems no one cares for you...just look up and remember that Jesus always cares. HE loves you always.

Everybody needs somebody to love. And Jesus always does!

The Apostle Paul states in Colossians 1:10: Walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in knowledge of God.

Paul tells us: Therefore, as God’s chosen people clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:12-13.

To knowing God

God wants us to know that no matter how difficult things may get for us, He will sustain all who trust in Him.

The book of Isaiah 30:21 states: “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

Isaiah delivered this word to Israel when the nation was under judgment, in absolute ruin, with everything breaking down. And so Isaiah told Israel’s leaders, “Turn to the Lord now! He wants to give you a word of direction—to speak to you” But they wouldn’t listen.

Yet, God did not send all of His judgment on Israel at that point. Rather, He waited patiently. Finally, when all their schemes had fallen through, God told the people, “Now, let me take over! Open your ears, and I will speak to you. I know the way out, and I will direct you. I want to guide your every move,  to deliver you. I’ll lead you by my voice—speaking to you, telling you what to do, down to the last detail!”

What matters—is that you get to know the voice of God. He is still speaking, “My sheep know my voice.” There are many voices in the world today. But there is that still, small voice of the Lord that can be known and heard by all who trust what Jesus said.

 

Trust God

God had just promised Abraham he would have a son. Remarkably, Abraham didn’t flinch at this promise, instead, when Abraham received this word from the Lord, we’re told he “considered not his own body now dead (nor)…the deadness of Sarah’s womb.” Romans 4:19

To the natural mind, it was impossible for this promise to be fulfilled. But Abraham didn’t dwell on any such impossibility. According to Paul, Abraham gave no thought to how God would keep His promise. He didn’t reason with God.

The fact is, when God is at work producing a faith that is tried and better than gold, He closes the door to all human reasoning.

The faith that pleases God is born in a place of deadness. I’m speaking here of the deadness of all human possibilities. It is a place where only God can bring about the impossible.

Are you facing a situation that seems impossible? Does it seem like the end of the road?

I declare to you, today, this is God at work. His Spirit is working to get you to stop considering the impossibilities—to stop looking to human ways and means—to stop trying to think your way out of your situation. The Holy Spirit is urging you, to quit focusing on how hopeless you think your situation is. Those are hindrances to your faith.

 

Come boldly to God

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need-Hebrews 4:16. In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him- Ephesians 3:12. These verses speak of coming to God boldly with our pressing needs, which please Him.

When God tells us to come to His throne boldly, with confidence, it is not a suggestion. It’s his preference.

“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” James 5:16. Effectual fervency—means coming into God’s court fully convinced that you have a well-prepared case.

We have to be fully persuaded that God honours His Word. The Lord wants us to bring His promises, remind Him of them, bind Him to them and stand on them.

We see this demonstrated in Acts 10, when Peter was given a vision. God told the apostle, “Some men are coming to your door, and they will ask you to go with them. I have sent these men, Peter, so I want you to go with them, doubting nothing.”

What does this passage tell us? It says that when God has declared something to be true, we are to believe and stand on it, without consulting our flesh. We simply cannot measure the reliability of God’s Word by examining our situation or our worthiness. If we do, we’ll end up only seeing that we’re unworthy. And we’ll talk ourselves out of claiming His Word and appropriating it.

Moreover, we have been given help to approach God’s throne of grace. The Bible says we are petitioners at His throne, and that Christ is there as our intercessor. We also have the Holy Spirit (our advisor) standing beside us in the Father’s court.

And so we have these incredible, promises—of a God, standing beside us—to give us boldness and assurance in coming to God’s throne.

Fully persuaded in God

Abraham was fully persuaded that, what God had promised, he was able to perform. Romans 4:21. In Genesis: out of nothing, God created the world. And God can create miracles for us, out of nothing.

When all else fails—that is the time for you to cast everything on God. It is time for you to give up all confidence in finding deliverance anywhere else. And, out of nothing that is of this world, God will work in ways and means you could never have conceived.

We need to believe in God in the face of impossibilities? We find the answer to this question in the story of Zacharias. Zacharias was visited by an angel who told him that his wife, Elizabeth, would give birth to a son, John. But Zacharias—who was advanced in years, refused to believe it.

Zacharias answered the angel, “Whereby shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years” Luke 1:18. Simply put, Zacharias considered the impossibilities. He was saying, “This isn’t possible. You’ve got to prove to me how it will happen.”

Zacharias’ doubts displeased the Lord. The angel told him, “Behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season” 1:20.

The message: God expects us to believe Him when He speaks. Likewise, Peter writes: Let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to Him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator. 1 Peter 4:19

CONCLUSION: The closer we are to Jesus, the stronger we’re going to be. And all the strength we’re ever going to need will come only through our secret life of prayer. If we’ll just draw close to Jesus, He will draw close to us, giving us a fresh supply of strength daily. This is the secret of His presence!

REMEMBER: Being like Jesus, means to be more forgiving. Forgive to the end. Being tender-hearted, compassionate, having mercy. Love with all your heart. Love everybody, withholding all your judgements.

But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Matthew 5:44

PRAYER: Abba Father, I come to you, knowing the desire You have placed in my heart. It has now become my prayer. I love you so much for this and I thank You. And I love You even more with each and every passing day. I BELIEVE in Your word. Now and Forever, I ask this prayer in Jesus name. Amen.
