Will You Still Love Me?

Read: Romans 5:6–11

While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

Ten-year-old Lyn-Lyn had finally been adopted, but she was afraid. In the orphanage where she’d grown up, she was punished over the slightest mistake. Lyn-Lyn asked her adoptive mom, who was a friend of mine: “Mommy, do you love me?” When my friend replied yes, Lyn-Lyn asked, “If I make a mistake, will you still love me?”

Although unspoken, some of us might ask that same question when we feel we’ve disappointed God: “Will You still love me?” We know that as long as we live in this world, we’ll fail and sin at times. And we wonder, Do my mistakes affect God’s love for me?

John 3:16 assures us of God’s love. He gave His Son, Jesus, to die on our behalf so that if we believe in Him, we’ll receive eternal life. But what if we fail Him even after we place our trust in Him? That’s when we need to remember that “Christ died for us” even when we were still sinners (Romans 5:8). If He could love us at our worst, how can we doubt His love today when we’re His children?

When we sin, our Father lovingly corrects and disciplines us. That’s not rejection (8:1); that’s love (Hebrews 12:6). Let’s live as God’s beloved children, resting in the blessed assurance that His love for us is steadfast and everlasting. — Karen Huang

How does understanding God’s love for you strengthen you to obey Him? How does it impact your view of sin?

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your steadfast and unchanging love.

Bible in a year: Isaiah 41–42; 1 Thessalonians 1

Howdy, Kathy.

Mighty nippy up there and there were some more snow showers scattered around. It was clear enough to the north this morning that we could see Mt. Denali. Haven’t seen that in a while.

We got RAIN here today and this evening! WOOHOO!

Howdy, luvie.

Thanks for sending your rain up here today. It added nicely to what we got from the cold front that’s coming through this evening. Round 1 of that was pretty wild and Round 2 is almost here. No weather alerts with it, at least.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

We made through hump day! Hurrah for us.

Have you figured out where to start on your “new” car? 🙂

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

You’re very welcome. Sorry it was wild, but maybe you’ll get mild on the next round. Has it chilled down a lot so far?

[radu]

Thanks!
