LOVED

PSALM 32:10 (MSG)
God-defiers are always in trouble;
God-affirmers find themselves loved
every time they turn around.


ROMANS 5:5 (NLT)
And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
To be loved by God is to be fulfilled.

PRAYER
God, life is full of disappointments but you are not one of them. To the contrary your love carries us through the disappointing times. Forgive me for taking your love for granted. Help me to become a messenger of hope to all who are experiencing disappointment. I'm going to gush the love of Christ to the world around me. Amen.
