Spoiler alert. He does. But sometimes we don’t feel God’s love, do we? We look at the struggles in our lives and think to ourselves (while downing that half-gallon of ice-cream), “God must not love me. If He did, why is this even happening?”

I get it. I know what it’s like to define God through the lens of our life circumstances. But what if I told you that God loves you. And I’m not just talking about Him loving you (and me) with some broad stroke like, “Yes, God loves all people.” I mean, “God loves YOU.” He loves YOU. He loves ME. Intimately. Personally. Purely. Perfectly.

It’s hard to believe sometimes, especially when life isn’t working out like we planned. But I can tell you from both my life experiences and from His Word, a.k.a. the Bible, that God’s love is deep, wide, complete, and empowering.

I can’t make you believe me — believe His love. But I have asked Him to make His love more real to you (more real to me) than that pile of dirty dishes in the kitchen sink.

Rooted

My most recent book Rooted released this week. Well, really, it’s more than a book. It’s a journey through the letter that Paul wrote to the Ephesians. In his letter, Paul was undone by the great love of our God. And that’s what I’ve asked the Lord to do for anyone who goes through the pages of Rooted.

I’ve asked Him to overwhelm us — undo us — with His love. I’ve asked Him to take the places of our souls that have clung to people and things for love, and plant us deep into His love. True love. Satisfying love.

So if you’ve ever wondered if God really loves you, the answer is a resounding yes. He loves with a love that can’t be fully measured or fully explained in human terms. A love we get to experience as we turn to Him.
