The Width of God's Love

The width of God's love extends across the entire world and includes everyone he has created: "The Lord is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made." (Psalm 145:17 NIV) God never made a person that he didn't love. He made you; he loves you; and God doesn't make junk! He loves you unconditionally. He loves you very, very much. Everybody matters to God; in fact, we see in the life of Jesus that he even loves the unlovely, and those who may feel unlovable. Do you want to know the secret of self-esteem? Here it is: If you want confidence, then understand how much you matter to God. If God loves you, who cares what anybody else thinks. Because God loves you, there's no need to prove yourself. We don't have to wear certain kinds of clothes to make us feel like we're okay, or drive a certain kind of car to prop up our faltering egos. We don't need status symbols anymore.

“may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3:18-19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
