See what great
love the Father has lavished on us,
that we should
be called children of God!
1 John 3:1 NIV
“I don’t believe in God,” the man said as he
turned to walk away.
“That’s okay,” the woman called after him. “He
believes in you.”
What she wanted to say—had the man been willing to
listen—was, “God loves you. He created you for a purpose. He sent His Son to
bear your sins and die for you. He most definitely believes in you.”
The adage “God said it, I believe it, and that
settles it” is faulty at best. If God said it, that settles it. Period. It
doesn’t matter whether we believe it or not. It is, as they say, what it is.
The truth is God believes in us so much that He
relentlessly pursues us. A popular song talks about the reckless love of God.
That love will light up shadows, climb up mountains, kick down walls, and tear
down lies in His pursuit of us. It’s an overwhelming love that’s unconditional
and has no end. It can’t be earned or bought. It’s a love that sees the best in
every person and will endure for all eternity.
If you’re in a hard
place today and your faith is being tested, remember this one thing: God
believes in you!
