Jeremiah 31:3
The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying,
Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love:
therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not.... He loves me! Did anyone do this when you were young? We depended on daisies to tell us our fate in the love category. Something that is funny to me is young children today. They have invented these paper fortune tellers. They write girls or boys names underneath these little flaps and turn it in and out by counting numbers. And then the flap is lifted with their loves name on it. They giggle and shout sometimes. At times they don't get the person they wanted and feel down about it. Isn't that funny?
We all at times feel unloved. We look at how people treat us and evaluate their love for us. We count all the things that people have given us and talley up their love for us. We say, "They love us, they love us not..." Some even feel that God has changed His love for us. They sometimes feel unloved because of suffering and trials but the love of our God is not dependent upon what we have or don't have. It's not given because we have deserved it or earned it. He loves us, and that's all.
Maybe you're thinking, "He loves me, He loves me not..." But let me tell you this! "He loves you, He loves you, He loves you, HE LOVES YOU!"
1 John 4:19
We love him, because he first loved us.
