He knows us inside and out, and accepts us with all our flaws and imperfections. When we accepted His Son Jesus, God revealed the divine family ties that connect us to Him. Unlike any earthly emotions, God’s love is unconditional and unchanging.
The Scriptures repeatedly use the analogy of birds to show us the importance of trusting Him (Matthew 10:29, 31, NIV Matthew 6:25-31, NIV). But God sent His Son to save us, not punish us. God tells us not to be afraid because He knows fear operates freely through the earth, and fear involves punishment. Don’t be afraid you are worth more than many sparrows” (Luke 12:6, 7, NIV). Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. The Bible says, “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
When we trust in Him to supply all our needs, we’re acknowledging His ability to do so. When we worry and fret, it causes us unnecessary stress, but it also disconnects us from reaping God’s blessings.
If God loves and takes care of something seemingly as insignificant as the birds of the air and the flowers of the field, so much more so will He take care of us (Luke 12:24-27, NIV). When you see the beautiful flowers in the springtime, you may be reminded of God’s beauty when you admire their colors and smell their sweet fragrance. If you’ve ever been bird watching, you’ll notice how carefree they seem as they fly back and forth. His priority is loving us, and curses can’t attach themselves to His loved ones. But we’ve been redeemed from the Law, and we can operate under blessings. In the Old Testament, His children were under the Law, and they operated under curses. But the truth is that He wants to bless and not curse us (Proverbs 26:2, AMP). Sometimes as Christians we let religion get in the way of this beautiful relationship with the Father, and we make the mistake of thinking God doesn’t love us. God loves all creatures great and small, and we are by no means the least.Īlthough He made the earth, the sky, the universe and all creation, He never forgets us, His beloved children (Psalm 8:3-8, NIV). We receive this love and acceptance not from anything we did, but from accepting Jesus Christ and making Him Lord of our lives. God is indeed strong and just, but He also loves us with a love so great we can’t comprehend it. Some of us are so amazed at God’s power and might, we forget His other side.
