June 8 Devotion - Why should we love God? - Part 3

In part 1& 2 of this series of devotions we covered the first three reasons for loving God.

Reasons to love God:

1.  

We love Him because He first loved us.

نحن نحبه لانه هو احبنا اولا.

I John 4.19

2.  

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

لانه هكذا احب الله العالم حتى بذل ابنه الوحيد لكي لا يهلك كل من يؤمن به بل تكون له الحياة الابدية.

John 3:16

3.  

The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.

فَالإِلَهُ الأَبَدِيُّ هُوَ مَلْجَأُكُمْ، وَتَحْتَكُمْ تَنْبَسِطُ الأَذْرُعُ الأَبَدِيَّةُ،

Deuteronomy 33:27 ﺍﻟﺘﺜﻨﻴﺔ

4.

God is my strength and power, And He makes my way perfect

اللهُ حِصْنِيَ المَنِيْعُ.
يُساعِدُ الأنقياءَ ليسلُكوا الدرب الصحيح،

2 Samuel 22:33 ﺻﻤﻮﺋﻴﻞ ﺍﻟﺜﺎﻧﻲ

We should love God because He is our strength, in Him we are strong. By Him we are guided in our lives. Without Him we would lose our way and also be ‘lost’.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings. Thank You Lord that You are my strength and You make me walk in the perfect path that You have designed for me. Lord, thank You for loving me; and for loving me first. Lord I want to love You back with an intense love. Lord if there is anything in my life that is keeping me from loving You the way You want me to love You and to be totally committed to You Lord, then please reveal it to me and erase it from my life. Father, please pour Your love into my heart through Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
