This is “Namma for Christ” with the one hundred thirty-sixth
inspirational message dated Thursday, August 2nd, 2018. The title of this message is, “You Say” – I AM
LOVED – 1 John 4:9-10. The first two
words of this message are also the title of the above anointed
song/video, “You Say” (with lyrics) by Lauren Daigle. The message’s scripture
is below as found in 1st John, the 9th & 10th
verses of the 4th chapter:
1 John 4:9-10
New International Version (NIV)
Recently, I was
listening to my Christian radio station, 99.1 FM STAR, and I heard Lauren
Daigle’s song, “You Say”. I was touched
by the tender and simple lyrics and the heartfelt expressions of the words. I
knew that it was a song that I wanted to share with others in my “Namma for
Christ” blog. This song is sung with passion – from the perspective of “a
conversation between the singer and God”.
Put “yourself” in
the singer’s position and sing the song to GOD for YOURSELF! MAKE THIS SONG AND
THE MESSAGE “PERSONAL FOR YOU”! “THIS song” says what GOD WANTS for EACH
OF US – to have a PERSONAL, LOVING RELATIONSHIP with JESUS CHRIST, OUR LORD and
SAVIOR! LET JESUS BE ALL THAT YOU NEED HIM TO BE – FOR YOU!
The first line of
the chorus says:
“You Say – I am loved, when I can’t feel a
thing; You Say – I am Strong, when I think I am weak…”
Thus, this song caused me to then research Bible verses that
show how much God loves us:
In researching “bible verses” about GOD’s LOVE for us – I found

BIBLE VERSES ABOUT
GOD’S LOVE FOR US
By Dr. Eric

Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible
tells me so! Do you know that God loves you? One of my
favorite bible verses about God's love for us is: We love because God first
loved us. ~ 1 John 4:19
We know in our minds that God loves us. So why
does it not always feel that way?
Some days we may feel alone and in despair. We
need someone or something to remind us of His love. Many of us have a hard
time understanding how big God's love for us really is. Grasping the
concept that He loves us no matter how we feel about ourselves is hard. We may
feel that we have to perform well for God to love us more, or we try to
accomplish something to earn His loving hand and approval.
But God's love for us is never in doubt. Our
works and deeds are done because we have a relationship with God, not because
we earn more love. He loved us first and demonstrated His love when He sent His
only Son Jesus Christ to die for us. We have all fallen short and do not
deserve such a love, but God gives it freely in spite of our failures.
Adoration, trust, and relationship are
what He longs for in return. No amount of words or deeds could compare to
the love He has for us, but we can praise and give thanks to Him daily. The
greatest commandment is to love Him with all of your heart, soul, mind, and
strength.
You need not feel alone ever, because the Lord
is your rock to stand on, the strength you require, and the comfort in times of
trouble. His love covers all of your needs faithfully.
May these Bible verses about God's love help
you realize you are not alone. God loves you deeply, and He is our everything.
May God Bless you abundantly.
