He loves you.

so today at sunday school we talked about abraham and how he was willing to sacrifice his only son to show his faithfulness and love for God. It reminded me of our theme verse for our kids this summer.
It's a very well known verse, John 3:16.

sometimes i think that verse is overlooked a lot. You know what I mean? It's memorized and that's kind of it. But this verse is so HUGE. This verse has so much meaning.

"For God so loved the world that He gave his only son..." HIS ONLY SON. God is willing to give the ultimate sacrifice because He wants to be with us. Because He loves us, and we don't even deserve it.

what are we willing to sacrifice? not much, huh. Can you honestly say you would give up a child, a family member, a friend? How about a car, a phone, school? No, and He is the one who deserves it.


But these kids in Africa, they need to hear this. They need to know that they are not alone. They need to know they are loved. They are loved so much and nobody on this earth can match that love. Gosh, if I could just grab each of their faces and just say, "God loves you. He loves you, He loves you, He loves you. and He'll never stop. never." It's that simple. You don't have to do anything. Honestly, because you can't.




What a sweet lesson. What a sweet gift. Let me tell you, there is somebody in your life that needs to hear this. It doesn't have to be an orphan in Africa or somebody in a third world country. People forget this all over the world. Maybe it's your neighbor, your best friend, your teacher, your coworker, or maybe it's you. Heck, I know it's me.



so my dear friend, God loves you. He loves you, He loves you, He loves you. and He'll never stop. never.
