Why Does God Love Us?

Great question Yolanda. Sometimes it seems like there's not much to love. huh?

To give you a simple answer, God loves us because we are literally his children (Acts 17:29 in the Bible). He is our Father. Jesus Christ is our brother and his whole mission (living a perfect life, suffering in Gethsemane and on the cross, and his resurrection) was to enable us to return to our Heavenly Father and live with him. You have probably heard the term "grace of God" before. That is what it means. Grace is God's enabling power to help us through life and become the best we can be.

God did not make you to be his toy or entertainment. He cares about YOU just as an earthly father cares about their child (except infinitely more). He wants the best for you and he is happy when you are truly happy.

This life is about making choices. You are the only one accountable for those choices. Don't let what others say dissuade you from following your heart. There will always be nay-sayers. Trust that YOUR Heavenly Father will lead you the right way.

Best Wishes,
