“…what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? You have made him a little lower than the Angels and you have crowned them with glory and honour. You made them rulers over the works of your hands…” Psalm 8:4-6 (NIV)

Sometimes the challenges of life can come so hard on us that we begin to assume that God does not care about us. Why? Because we feel that, if He truly cares, He will not allow us to go through such situations. But that is a lie from the pit of hell. The fact that you are going through some difficulty in your life, does not negate God’s love for you. God’s love for you is unconditional. He loves you irrespective of what you face or go through. He loves you despite your errors and mistakes. But the question is, do you believe it?

Well, you should believe it because it is the simple truth. You must never come to that place in your life where you think that God does not love you. He loves you dearly and you are important to Him. The Bible says, “…God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us…” Romans 5:10. Did you see that? Take this very seriously, and refuse to believe the lies of the devil. He may want to make you feel unimportant and insignificant to God, but that is far from the truth. God demonstrated this by sending His son to take all the punishment that was supposed to come to you and give you grace. Appreciate what He has done for you and choose to take advantage of His love for you. 

Meditate on His love for you everyday and know that God wants the best for you. When some evil takes place in your life, do not see it as God trying to punish you. Stop blaming God for the negative things that happen. Instead, stand in His love and wage war against those activities of darkness against your life. If you can do this, you will be amazed at the glorious transformation in your life. Remember, if He did not spare His own son but delivered Him up for us all, there is nothing He wouldn’t do for you (Romans 8:32). Praise God!

Today’s Rhema

If you were not important to God, Jesus Christ would never have come to pay the ultimate price for you!
