How God's Love For Us Can Be Made Stronger

Tonight I want to talk about How God's Love For Us Can Be Made Stronger. The scriptures we are going to look at tonight are Romans 5 verse 8, John 3 verse 16, 1 John 3 verse 1, 1 John 4 verse 19. The other scriptures we will take a look at are Jeremiah 31 verse 3, 1 John 4 verse 7, 1 John 4 verse 8, John 15 verse 13, 1 John 4 verse 10, 1 Corinthians 16 verse 14, Psalm 36 verse 7, Psalm 63 verse 3, Proverbs 8 verse 17, and the last two scriptures we will take a look at tonight are Ephesians 5 verse 2 and Romans 13 verse 8.

We see in the scriptures that God's love for us can be made stronger by how we receive His Love. We see how we can show love to family, friends, those who don't know Christ and to those who are in our community. We don't have to be afraid in showing the Love that we receive from God. God is Love.

We learned that in the scripture we read tonight. We see how God can give us strength to do all things.

No matter what we face in life God is our Refuge and He is our Strength. He reminds us how we can be stronger in love, humility, grace, compassion. All the things we need to love one another just as Christ has loved us. We know that God is merciful, and just. We serve and are called to do what He has for us.

It doesn't matter what we do, as long as we do it for Christ because God wants us to show love.

I love how God can give us what we need, when we need it, and He knows that we can conquer all in His Love, in His Timing, and we are always going to be His Children who He loves because He loved us from the time He brought us into this world, and we have that strong bond between Christ and nothing can or will ever separate us from His Love that He gives because our ways are not perfect, but His Ways are.

I would like to share some songs with all of you. The first song I would like to share says this: Oh, I've heard a thousand stories of what they think You're like, But I've heard the tender whisper of love in the dead of night, And You tell me that You're pleased and that I'm never alone, You're a good, good Father, It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are, And I'm loved by You, It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am

Oh, and I've seen many searching for answers far and wide, But I know we're all searching for answers only You provide, Cause You know just what we need before we say a word, You're a good, good Father

It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are, And I'm loved by You, It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am, Because You are perfect in all of Your ways, You are perfect in all of Your ways, You are perfect in all of Your ways to us, You are perfect in all of Your ways, Oh, You're perfect in all of Your ways, You are perfect in all of Your ways to us, Oh, it's love so undeniable, I, I can hardly speak, Peace so unexplainable

I, I can hardly think, As You call me deeper still, As You call me deeper still, As You call me deeper still into love, love, love, You're a good, good Father, It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are, And I'm loved by You, It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am

The second song says this: He is jealous for me, Love's like a hurricane, I am a tree, Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy, When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory

And I realize just how beautiful You are, And how great Your affections are for me, And oh, how He loves us, oh, Oh, how He loves us, How He loves us all, And He is jealous for me, Love's like a hurricane, I am a tree, Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy, When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory, And I realize just how beautiful You are, And how great Your affections are for me, And, oh, how He loves us, oh, Oh, how He loves us, How He loves us all, Yeah, He loves us, Oh, how He loves us, Oh, how He loves us, Oh, how He loves, And we are His portion and He is our prize, Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes, If His grace is an ocean, we're all sinking, And heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss, And my heart turns violently inside of my chest, I don't have time to maintain these regrets, When I think about, the way..., That He loves us, Oh, how He loves us, Oh, how He loves us, Oh, how He loves

The third song I would like to share says this: I love you, Lord. And I lift my voice, To worship You, Oh, my soul, rejoice!. Take joy my King, In what You hear, Let it be a sweet, sweet sound, In Your ear, I love you, Lord, (I love you, Lord), And I lift my voice

(And I lift my voice), To worship You, (To worship You), Oh, my soul, rejoice!, (Oh, my soul

As we look at the songs we see how our love can be made stronger in God.

We see that no matter what we face we can depend on God's love. The love that is unconditional and no matter how much love we give, we continue to receive God's love, because God has great love for us and there is no greater love than God's love that is perfect.

I want to share another scripture with all of you now. The scripture I would like to share comes from Proverbs 17 verse 17 which says: A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

So as we look back at all of this, we know that God's love for us can be made stronger because God shows us the heart of His Compassion and Grace. We are made in His Image, we are called His Beloved.

I would like to share a quote with all of you now. The quote I would like to share says: God's love is like an ocean; You can see it's beginning but not it's end.

Here are the last three things I would like to share with all of you. The first thing I would like to share is a quote that says: God gave us the ability to do, not just try.

The second thing I would like to share is another quote that says: Mistakes make me human. Failure makes me stronger. Love keeps me alive. But it's you who keeps me smiling.

The last thing I would like to share is a song where the lyrics say this: You've owned your fear and all your self-loathing, You've owned the voices inside of your head, You've owned the shame and reproach of your failure, It's time to own your belovedness, You've owned your past and how it's defined you, You've owned everything everybody else says, It's time to hear what your father has spoken, It's time to own your belovedness, He says, "You're mine, I smiled when I made you, I find you beautiful in every way, My love for you is fierce and unending, I'll come to find you, whatever it takes, My beloved", You've owned the mess you see in the mirror, You've owned the lies that you're just not enough, You've been so blinded by all you're comparing, It's time to own your belovedness, He says, "You're mine, I smiled when I made you, I find you beautiful in every way, My love for you is fierce and unending, I'll come to find you, whatever it takes, My beloved", You are completely loved and fully known, Beloved, believe he died to make your heart his home

And he says, "You're mine, I smiled when I made you, I find you beautiful in every way, My love for you is fierce and unending, I'll come to find you, whatever it takes", He says, "You're mine, I smiled when I made you, I find you beautiful in every way, My love for you is fierce and unending, I'll come to find you, whatever it takes, My beloved" It's time to own your belovedness.
