Do you ever feel like you have fallen out of God’s love?
Three things to do if you feel like you have fallen out of God’s love?
I. Talk to Him.
Psalm103:1-14 (NLT) Let all that I am praise the LORD; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. 2 Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me. 3 He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. 4 He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. 5 He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s! 6 The LORD gives righteousness and justice to all who are treated unfairly. 7 He revealed his character to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel. 8 The LORD is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. 9 He will not constantly accuse us, nor remain angry forever. 10 He does not punish us for all our sins; he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve. 11 For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. 12 He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. 13 The LORD is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him. 14 For he knows how weak we are; he remembers we are only dust.
II. Make a right assessment of yourself.
Psalm 103:15-17a (NLT) Our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, we bloom and die. 16 The wind blows, and we are gone—as though we had never been here. 17a But the love of the LORD remains forever with those who fear him.
III. Remember: In every circumstance of your life, God’s love remains.
Romans 8:35,37-39 (NLT) Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?
37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything
else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Psalm 103:17b-22 — 17b His salvation extends to the children’s children
18 of those who are faithful to his covenant, of those who obey his commandments! 19 The LORD has made the heavens his throne; from there he rules over everything. 20 Praise the LORD, you angels, you mighty ones who carry out his plans, listening for each of his commands. 21 Yes, praise the LORD, you armies of angels who serve him and do his will! 22 Praise the LORD, everything he has created, everything in all his kingdom. Let all that I am praise the LORD.
Isaiah 54:10 (NLT) — For the mountains may move and the hills disappear, but even then my faithful love for you will remain. My covenant of blessing will never be broken,” says the LORD, who has mercy on you.
YOUR LOVE REMAINS (lyrics)
When I don’t feel it
When I don’t give it
When I don’t want it… Your love remains When I don’t see it
When I am sinful
When I am winning… Your love remains When I am waking
When I am working
When I am resting… Your love remains When I am doubting
When I am fighting
As I do worry… Your love remains
When I am tired
When I am broken
When I’m resistant… Your love remains When I am lonely
Or when I’m surrounded
When I’m uncertain… Your love remains When I am tempted
When I am mourning
When I am waiting… Your love remains When I am restless
When I’m indifferent
When I’m un-focused… Your love remains When You renewed me
When You restored me
When You redeem me… Your love remains When You come claim me
When this life is over
In Your arms forever… I will remain
