You Are Loved:
No Matter What
“But here is how God has shown his love for us. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8 (NIrV)
Ever feel like God’s love has an expiration date—like it’s good until your next mistake? Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. God’s love isn’t based on how good you are; it’s based on how good He is.
“But here is how God has shown his love for us. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8 (NIrV)
That verse doesn’t say “after we cleaned up our act” or “once we got it all together.” It says while we were still sinners. That means Jesus didn’t wait until you were worthy—He loved you at your worst. And He still does.
God’s love isn’t like human love. It doesn’t ghost you, block you, or change when you mess up. It’s constant, unshakable, and yours—no matter what.
So next time you wonder if God still cares, remember: you can’t outrun His love. He’s not keeping score. He’s reaching out.
Prayer:
God, thank You for loving me even when I don’t feel lovable. Help me believe that Your love never changes, and let it shape how I live today.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
