Let God Love You

LetGodLoveYou.ContestTitleOnly
The more we grasp God’s love for us, and let Him really love us, the more confident and secure we become. Living loved changes everything. When we live LOVED, we don’t have to earn love. We simply ARE loved.

  2. Perfect prayer for every day and especially on Valentine’s Day to remind all singles about God’s unconditional love. Thank you!

  3. Thank you so much for your generosity of giving The Devotional away. I am in so much doubt and I know that it is not God’s desire for my life to live as such. I look forward to reading this and knowing I can trust God to show me direction. God bless you in all things!!

  4. Thank you so much for this giveaway I have been wanting to read this book f9or a long time. It was so kind of you to give it away today. I don’t have a pinterest or facebook page but I did share the link to the book and post about it to my Christian yahoo groups that have a lot of menmbers . Happy Valentine’s day

  5. Loved this prayer. I forwarded to a lady that I know so she can be blessed with it as well. Thank you.

  6. Thank you, Renee! I am enjoying the free download of “A CONFIDENT HEART DEVOTIONAL” e-book. Happy Valentine’s Day. It is a special gift. I really appreciate it. I don’t know how to do the URL’s. I don’t know what you need. I am on Facebook. I think you will see it because I “Liked” all your pages. Thank you again for the sweet offer.

  13. Most of my life up until now I’ve struggled with my worth…Not loving me, allowing unworthy to live in my mind. I’ve finally got what Gods love is…I enjoy all your talks and blogs…you have brought such meaning to my life. Thank you! As you pray for me…I pray for you as well and the ministry. If there is any way I can serve you please let me know!!!
    Love with the love of Jesus
    Nikki

  14. You have opened my eyes and heart to know that God does Ana always will live me. I am very new to this Bible reading and journaling and I find it very relaxing. So fearful for your words.

  16. Thank you for the words tonight…I’m feeling low.. I needed those sweet words from the Lord.
    Please remember my husband in your prayers. He has mulitple myeloma and heart problems. I
    feel over whelmed sometimes…I go to my rock Jesus Christ for my help.. God bless you.

  18. I would love the prayer journal! I already have copies of Renee’s books which I LOVE! She speaks directly to me. Have wanted a way to cotact her privately but unable to do that. Thanks so much for your books.

  20. Love, love, love this! We’re working on something at church to bring 4 people to Christ. And for them to join us for our Easter service. My 3 definitely need to know God loves them and to know that His love is true, real, neverending love.

  21. I want to thank you Renee for all your insperation! I have depression and am on medication for it but sometimes the stresses of life bring me down. I did a bible study of A Confident Heart with some friends and was so amazed with your teachings. While doing that study I wrote several of the verses on index cards and keep them with me. I read those when I get down and pray them also. I just wanted to thank you!! If I was to win, I have a wonderful friend who is going through a very rough spot in her marriage. I would definately give one to her because she is the one person I can confide in with anything and not be judged and I know her heart could use some more confidence throught this.

  22. I can’t explain the roller coaster, the volcano, all the stupid words we pin on it. My heads broke. At 5 I started writing notes saying bye bye I’m going to heaven now! I just couldn’t handle being inside me. Heaven is perfect my Father is waiting. It seemed simple. At 14 I tried to start to get there. It’s complicated, I had 6 years God blessed me with a peaceful non medicated, non upset life. I pray again for that miracle. Now I have to plan strategies on lesser evils… I have to figure out how to be the best me LIVING for a son who counts on me to show him how we can live our lives praising and relying on God. And that is my job. Today I needed that prayer. Thank you for that gift and I prayed that it reached all the men and women suffering and in need of it in the name of Jesus Amen

    Blessings,
    Kelly

    Ps some links from the email weren’t working earlier.

    • Hi Kelly, This is Leah and I’m helping Renee with this giveaway. Did the links work once you came to the website? We had to update them. Please let me know otherwise which ones are still not working so they can be fixed.
      Thank you.

  23. I am struggling with who I am in Christ. I jusdt feel so alone and thast I do nothing right. I need to build my confidence in Christ and pull out of this mind set. If I receive two books the other would go to a friend thast has a spouse in military and seems to have lost her confidence as everything goes wrong while husband is deployed.

  24. Thanks Renee. As always, I enjoy your encouraging words. And thank you Sheila for this beautiful prayer! Isn’t that what we all need to do – just trust Him!
    Blessings to you both!
    Susan

  25. Renee thank you for sharing the Let God Love You devotional. I want to live in God’s love for me and have confidence in knowing I just need to seek Christ to love me. Hope to win the prayer journal. Thanks for your awesome teaching. You are a blessing.

  26. I wish all my emails were this inspiring! Winter in Alaska is tough, this inspiration helps me get through the day reminding me to stay focused on what is important! Thanks for all you do ladies

  28. Thank you for that beautiful prayer. I rededicated my life to the Lord by being baptized in June 2008 (I was “born again” when I was 14, but wanted the instant gratification that alcohol & drugs appeared to offer. That led me down some very dark roads. I cried out to God in 2005, He showed me the way to a 12 step recovery program which led me back to church in 2007. I’ve been reading the Bible daily yet have never kept a prayer journal. I’m just learning how to pray using scripture so I really appreciate the prayer and all the scripture based prayers that Renee posts. Thank you!
    With Much Gratitude,
    Janet

  30. I am super excited and blessed to have come across your ministry just yesterday via Facebook. You are truly a woman of God and I love your ministry and what it stands for, thank you and God bless.

  32. I am blessed to be a part of your personal journey. Thank you for sharing your most intimate thoughts and struggles. May these words of wisdom help to encourage me to be not only the woman that I need to be but to also be the sister in Christ, wife and mother that I long to be.
    Thank you is not enough.

  33. I’ve already read the book and loved it and want to go back through it again and the devotional would be wonderful to go through. I would love to give it to a friend of mine while she recovers from a really difficult year.

  35. I have purchased this book but have not read it yet. I would love the devotion to go along with it. I am in the middle of a couple studies now but can’t wait to start on A Confident Heart because I have always lacked confidence. I would love a copy for my best friend who had to move far away from me and has mentioned wanting to read it as well. Maybe we could do a long distance study together.

    Thanks so much for all you do!

  36. Just from reading your short post on the devotional I realized how much this could help me in my walk with the Lord. so much going on in my life that needs to let God take over and do the work He desires in me through my trials. Instead of always asking “why” as my husband and I do, we need to change our focus and hear Him minister to us through the trials. blessings and thanks for sharing your heart and the heart of God.

  37. I am already 52 and still feel less than who the Word says I am. I look forward to being around godly women but then I feel worse about myself for days because after I get home I examine what I said or shared in prayer request or my lack of spiritual maturity or a thousand other things. It gets to the point that I am hesitant to continue to go to Bible studies or ladies’ gatherings. Isolation seems enticing. That is why I would read your book. I would give the other one to a lady I know that just went through an ugly divorce and is feeling pretty rejected about now. Thank you.

  38. I have a precious friend who suffers with low self esteem.
    What a blessing your book would be to her.

  39. thanks for the reminder and help to get this right. I also loved the book “A Confident Hear” I downloaded it for my kindle so I will have it for a long time. Really enjoyed the study as well. t#letGodLoveYou, #AConfidentHeart, #Devotional

  40. Thank you so much for helping us all to remember that God loves us BIG! I so needed to hear that today! My best friend is going through the hardest of times with her husband who has just had a stroke and my heart breaks for her and her family. I would so much love to share the message of Gods love with her!

  41. After battling a year of cancer with my husband and the drugs and alcoholism with my son and awaiting hearing for my son, it’s been a total trial and tribulations thing for me. After losing both if my parents at such a young age I often times wonder that simple often asked question of “WHY?” Me and over and over it seems like the simple little road in life gets rougher.
    Just when you want a break in that tunnel, it seems as if
    Something yet stumbles along, and that’s when
    I ask myself WHY me again, is it worth it going through this again?!

  42. I desire to live in holy confidence because of humble dependence on God. I’m encouraging a young mom who needs encouragement. She would love the “when I say/God says” encouragement.

  44. Hi. My beautiful 4 year old son was diagnosed a month ago with type one diabetes and while this is a very treatable disease my husband and I can not help but grieve for the lost innocence of just being able to be a child and run and eat and play. He now gets poked 6-8 times a day and insulin shots 6 times a day as well. Thankfully we have our faith and know that our God is a mighty God and that our Ethan sits in the palm of His hand. On the other hand I turned 40 this year and had my first mammogram. They have found something questionable so I am going in for a biopsy of my left breast next week. I just keep repeating Isaiah 41:10 over and over again…my mantra. I could use some encouragement so the book would be a blessing.

    The 2nd copy would go to my sweet mother who loves the Lord and could use some encouragement as well.

  45. I have spent the last two years of my life learning to walk away from the question of “why” in my life and accept that God knows the why; I only need to follow. Each day my mantra is “your will not mine”. As God is my witness I will follow his lead and let go of my own imagined needs. My days are filled with gratitude; my patience with life and the people of whom I interact has taken on a life of its own and I feel empowered each and every day. The hardest part of loving God is understanding what it means to stand in complete faith; I struggle with it everyday. Having complete faith is like jumping out of an airplane, you have to have faith that your skills and training will ensure that the chute will open correctly and take you safely to the ground. With God you have to have the faith in his word that everything he has promised he will fulfill; albeit not necessarily the way you, yourself, would have envisioned it. Hence the necessity for an open mind. May God bless your day as he has mine.

  46. I am a homeschooling mom of 3 kids and a new baby. We live in Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil for my husband’s job assignment. We miss our church friends and family in the US. We have been unable to find an English speaking church home in the year we have been here. We are moving back to the US in 5 months.
    I am struggling spiritually and emotionally because of this. We do attend a Portuguese speaking church monthly but my husband and I are not getting fed like we were.

    If I win I will share the other copy with my bestie in the US who is also a homeschool mom. She is an awesome mom/wife who has always put everyone before herself. Her family lived with her mom and grandparents for years to help them out with the grandparents care all the while her husband worked 2 jobs and went to school and she was homeschooling her kids. When we moved to Brazil they rented our home. I love the fact that my best friend could live in our home. What a blessing for thier family of 7 to be independent for the first time in over 4 years.

  47. Renee, I posted on your blog on Feb 5, and Lost Butnothopeless posted after me asking some questions. I answered but haven’t herd anymore. Just wanted to make sure she got the help she needed. I would share one with my future daughter in law

    • I’ll try to find that post and let you know. 🙂 Thanks for checking. That is very thoughtful of you!!

  48. Renee, I can’t wait to get your devotional. I love the way you speak about God’s unfailing love. Through your words you really bring a clear connection to Him. Love you!!!

  49. This is awesome. I am working with someone now that needs to know she is loved and I will share this with her.
