This is
“Namma for Christ” with the two hundred forty-fourth inspirational message
dated Wednesday, February 1st, 2023. The title of this message is, “Perfectly
Loved – 1st John 4:8 – Ready and Waiting”. The first two words
of this message’s title are also the
words in the name of the below inspirational song/video, “Perfectly Loved” by “Rachael
Lampa featuring TobyMac”.
“Perfectly Loved” is a song that I first heard on my favorite
Christian radio station - STAR 99.1FM. The below scripture text is what is found in the eighth verse of the fourth
chapter of First John.
1st John 4:8
New King James Version (NKJV)
He who does not love does
not know God, for God is love.
The title of this message
includes the words “Ready and Waiting” – which is taken from the “title” of the Charles Stanley “In Touch”
Daily Devotional for (1/29/23) – which I have included below.
I knew that this was a message
that I wanted to share in my next “Namma for Christ” blog. I hope you find (some of the excerpts) as inspirational
as I did:
Ready and
Waiting
CAN YOU THINK OF A PIVOTAL MOMENT that led to your
relationship with Jesus? Most of us can name a special person or set of
circumstances that helped us get to know Him. Or perhaps you’re reading this
out of curiosity, and you don’t know Him at all. Regardless of what state your
relationship with God is in, the fact remains: He loves you and will never give
up on you.
Paul writes, “While we
were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8 see below verse). And John explains that the Lord doesn’t just love
us, but He Himself is love (1st
John 4:8 see below verse).
In other words, God doesn’t have to try to
love or talk Himself into loving us – it’s simply who He is.
Romans
5:8
Legacy
Standard Bible (LSB)
8But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in
that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
1st John
4:8
New
King James Version (NKJV)
8He who does not love does not know God, for God
is love.
No
matter what we do, even if it involves deliberate sin against Him or drifting
away in apathy, God won’t ever cease to be merciful and loving. He’ll never
stop showing up, leaning in, and inviting us to the abundant life found only in
Him – a life of peace, freedom, and joy. Whatever you were and are, God has
great plans for what you will be, and He’s here for you.

11 For I know
the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to
harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
