God Loves You As Much As He Loves Jesus

Good Morning!

The Father Himself loves YOU (John 16:27)! God really loves you and He wants you to live fear free. As we grow in experiential knowledge of His love for us, fear loses its hold in our lives. The more we meditate on God’s love, the more fear is flushed out of our lives. Living in fear will cause our lights to be dim. 2024 will be a year of light. In order to be an effective light for Jesus, you need to live free of fear and believe that God loves you as much as He loves Jesus.

"I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

John 17:23 NKJV

Meditating on God’s love for me changed my life. My favorite Scripture on God’s love for us is John 17:23. In this Scripture, Jesus reveals that the Heavenly Father loves us as much as He loves Jesus. We think, “Of course, the Father loves Jesus. He’s perfect. He’s the Son of God. He paid the price for our sins.” All of that is true, yet, Jesus still said that the Father loves us as much as He loves Jesus.

I say this regularly and I would love for you to do the same. I believe that it will impact your life just like it transformed mine. Say this with me today, “God loves me as much as He loves Jesus.” Say it throughout the day. Say it when you’re challenged. Say it when you are afraid. Belief in God’s love for you will enable you to stare down a challenge and push forward to victory.

In today’s podcast devotional, I share how you should set goals for 2024. Take a few minutes and stream it today. Last night, I shared “Twelve Questions You Need To Ask Yourself Before 2023 Ends.” I believe that message will help you accurately set your goals for 2024. Stream the message and keep working on your goals for the new year.

We are praying over goals for 2024 during our New Year’s Eve Experiences. If you’re joining us in person, bring a copy of your goals to place at the altar. If you are joining us online, reply to this email with your goals. We’ll print out your email and place them at the altar for you. Have an amazing day!
