KNOW THAT GOD LOVES YOU
We are told that God is love; that He takes note of every sparrow that falls and even the hairs of our head are numbered. This means that the least among us is very important to God.
God is described as a forgiving, loving Father. In building faith, integrate this truth into your mind. Every day say aloud, “I am a child of God. God is interested in every detail of my life. God loves me.”
If any doubt arises, reaffirm and reiterate God’s love and hold to that thought until you know it for a fact.
A thoughtful man asked, “What is the greatest truth in the world?” I turned the question back to him and he said, “It is that we are not alone.”
In building your faith emphasize the great truth that no matter how dark it gets, how lonely you feel, or how you may experience rejection, you are not alone. Repeat every night and whenever difficulty comes, “I am not alone. God is with me.”
Because God loves you and is always with you, you can have confidence that if you live His way to the best of your ability and put your trust in Him, you will discover how to withstand every shock in this life.
A method for meeting difficult responsibilities that can be of immeasurable help is simply to say: “God, please stay with me and help me and I will try to do the best I can.” Then add confidently the affirmation: “Thank you, God, for helping me now.”
