Does God love me?

Question: Does God love me?

Did you know a team of scientists recently concluded there are 10 times more stars in the night sky than grains of sand in the world's deserts and beaches? According to astronomers, there are 70 thousand million million million stars. That's a seven followed by 22 zeros.

What can we learn from something like this? We can learn the awesome nature of God for one! We can also learn something about God's love for each and every one of us.

The Bible tells us God, so wonderful and powerful there is absolutely nothing He can't do, knows the precise number of stars in the heavens and can call them all by their names! He can do that because He is intimate with each and every one of them. With His hands, he formed each and every one of them. Isn't that simply amazing?

Psalms 147:4-5: He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

God, who formed all the stars of heaven, knows when a sparrow falls from the sky. He loves all His creation. He loves you too! You are worth more than many sparrows to God!

Matthew 10:29-31: Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

From the moment you were conceived in the womb, God the Father, Master of the universe, the Creator of 70 thousand million million million stars, has known you and cared for you. Much like He created the stars, His hands knitted you together in your mother's womb.

Psalms 139:13-16: For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

How much time does God spend thinking of you?

How much do you mean to God? More than you probably have ever realized! If you were impressed to learn God has made more stars than the sands of the sea, you are about to be floored to discover how much time He spends thinking of you!

Psalms 139:17-18: How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand:

We spend very little time thinking of God yet He spends an infinite amount of His time thinking about us.

The next time you wonder how much God loves you, go to the ocean, pick up a handful of sand, and start counting the grains. He loves you THAT much!

The next time you find yourself feeling God doesn't love you, walk outside on a clear night beneath a sea of stars and start counting. He loves you THAT much!

God loves you!

Revelation 7:12: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
