1 JOHN 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
You have undoubtedly heard it before. No, you don't get it yet.
In Ephesians 3, it is mentioned that believers should pray for the ability to comprehend the truly unfathomable love of Christ. To put it another way, you require a divine revelation in order to comprehend God's love for you.
EPHESIANS 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
You are aware that God loves you, cares for you, and provided for you via the death of His Son, Jesus. However, that doesn't truly tell you how God cares about you. He was able to take care of you just because He felt compelled to do so since He was the one who created you.
No. That is not the entire narrative. God DOES LOVE you.
"But why should God care about me? I hardly even like myself "you might say. The only real way to know is to ask for a heavenly revelation.
But if you're a parent, this might help you get a little perspective. Consider how much you cherish your kids. Can you express your feelings to them effectively? In comparison to God's love for you as His child, our human love for our kids is but a shadow of that love.
SAY THIS: Dear Father God, I would like to know how much you love me.
