God is Love

Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. ~ Philippians 1:6

Be confident, be assured, be encouraged, be of good cheer, be at peace, be steadfast, be holding on to this truth! God is He, the God of the universe, who created everything--the sun, the moon, and the stars--all in perfect alignment and balance, who created the elephants, the ants, and you. He is with you, He is in you, He is all around you. He will never leave you. He will never forget you. He will never let you go. He is love. As they say about love, "it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails," (1 Corinthians 13:7-8). The God who knows everything and is always everywhere is with you and He loves you. He is always protecting you--sending His angels to surround you. He always trusts you; even when you fall, He is encouraging you to get back up and go again. He is hope, which is why you can hope. He always perseveres: He is always seeking after you, nothing can stop Him, no matter what. God is love and love never fails. This is the "He" we mean. He--before you were born--on the day that He decided upon you--long before your parents were even a glimmer in your grandparents' dreams. Even then He was working on you. And it is He who began a good work in you and He is faithful. For He is love and love never fails and He will never fail. He will never fail to finish what He started in you. He is the God of many things. Most importantly, He is the God who loves you.
