Living Loved (and a give-away!)

 Happy Valentines Day! I hope you know just how much…

You are LOVED

Welcome online study sisters and new friends hopping over from my Encouragement for Today devotion. I’m so glad you are here! In my devotion, Because You are His, I talk about the love of a mom watching over her children – and how God says He watches over us just like that. Not only does He watch over us – HE DELIGHTS IN US!!{ Zeph. 3:17}

And with His love, He calms our concerns, quiets our fears  and speak promises of assurance to our hearts! Scripture says He sings over us, too. I have a feeling the song He sings over you today is written just for YOU, describing the beautiful woman He’s created you to be, while gently leading your heart to know and rely on His love more and more each day.

Oh how I want to know and rely on His love…His unconditional, unfailing, patient and kind Love. How about you? In this short video m message today, I  share one of the most important truths I’ve ever learned about God’s love. I’d love to share it with you. Maybe we can connect over lunch or coffee right here at my kitchen table. 🙂

“Message Notes” are 1to download in a PDF format here or in a MSWord doc here.

__________________________________________

Let these truths sink into your heart today…

You are CHOSEN. You are LOVED. You are ACCEPTED.

(Download His Promises and print them for keeps!?)

Although God may not send His love covered in chocolate or delivered in satin covered boxes, let’s remember today how He left Himself as a Love letter nailed to the cross of Calvary, declaring the depth of HIS unfailing love for us – forever! I pray that you will live in HIS love today today…bringing the empty well of your heart to Jesus –  so He can fill it!

  1. I am so blessed to be loved unconditionally by my blessed Jesus. What more could we possible want in this world if we have that?

  2. Thank you for the beautiful words of love. God spoke to me through you. I have been seeing Zeph. 3.17 all over the place lately. Your words help me to understand what that scripture means.

  3. John 3:16:
    For God so loVed the world = V
    that He gAve = A
    His onLy = L
    begottEn = E
    SoN, = N
    That whosoever = T
    believeth In Him = I
    should Not perish, = N
    but have Everlasting life.” E

    I love this…someone shared it with me a few years ago, and it helps me to remember that Jesus is my forever VALENTINE – a perfect gift of love, available to all of us. Thank you, Jesus, for your gift of personal, intimate, unconditional love for me and for each of my sisters (and brothers) out there today!

  4. God is showing me every day how much I am loved by Him. He told me this morning that I was His valentine! 🙂

    Thank you Renee for your video.

  5. Just what I need to help me get through the day. Life is not always easy but reading your post helps alot.
    Thanks,

  6. I can’t tell you how comforting it is to know that my Daddy in Heaven is singing and watching over me. He never sleeps, so there is never a time when I am out of his site. My heart longs for daily contact with my Father. Thank you Lord for always loving me, even when I don’t love myself. Thank you for Your love letter to me that You left on the cross. I am so unworthy but I am Yours.

  7. Thanks. God always seems to tell you what I need to hear. Sometimes we expect to get love from our loveones and it doesn’t happen. Instead we get just the opposite. Your reminder of knowing that God has everything we would ever need or want is so comforting. Love you.

  8. Grateful for your encouragement, Renee. <3
    In spite of this Singles' Awareness Day, I am in awe of God's love for me, everyday….:)
    Thanks for the video!

  9. Oh to feel God’s delight in me…and for Him to fill the empty places. There are a lot of empty spaces to fill in the chambers of my heart and mind. Cleaning out the old and making room for the new so that I could feel His delight in me.

  10. Love the idea of God singing over us with a special song for each one of us. God’s love is so beautiful and your words touch me. I am also participating in your Confident Heart Online Study and loving it all. Thanks Renee.

  11. I don’t have the book. However I have been reading the blogs and e-mails. I am excited and thankful for all the resources. God bless and have a great day in the Lord.

  13. Oh so often I have to remind myself of His precious love for me. Your emails will be a great reminder. Thank you!

  14. Your mother watching her child sleep devotion really struck a chord with me. My daughter was a preemie, so when she slept through the night that first time we were almost terrified to check on her! God is so good, thanks for the reminder.

  15. Renee, on Valentine’s Day, so many people are in bad places in their lives. They struggle because they feel they are not loved. I am leading a study through church, we are on Chapter 6, plus I am follwoing your study and I did Melissa’s study back in the fall. I learn something new everytime I read this great book. In Chapter 6, God is showing us that a man’s love will fail us. But God will always love us, He will not leave us or forsake us. He has Plans for our lives! God wants us to come to Him first and truly learn to love Him, let HIm show us all that He has to offer. He will then make room in our lives for those He wants us to have.

  16. What a wonderful video message. We truly need only God and His love as everything else pales to insignificance in His presence.

  17. Following Christ is and has been the greatest descion that I have EVER made. Making the choice to walk with him daily has not been easy. However I Know that this choice has been the right one. There was a time in my life that I was broken, however God has mad me whole. He has spoken words of Hope into my heart & I believe his promises. This study has helped me know, that I know, that I know he is alive & active with in my life. Thank-You Renee for this wonderful study!

  18. I am so thankful for this study, and to now have the confidence that Christ is the only Valentine that I need. Blessings to all this Valentine’s Day!

  19. God is good all the time and He has been so good to me to bring me to your Bible Study.
    I look forward each week to the next chapter.
    Thank you for your faithfullness and God Bless you, Renee!

  20. Days like today used to leave me feeling sad being single on a day when it’s about being a couple is never easy, but lately I have dug into the Word an truly know God will always be with me. It truly changed my outlook on this day.
