Jesus Loves Me This I Know

I was working on the Beth Moore's Breaking Free study our Sunday School class is doing and today's lesson really struck me. I wanted to share some of what it said.

Beth writes:

Unbelief regarding the love of God is the ultimate slap in His face. God nailed down His love for us on the cross. Can you imagine the grief of our unbelief after all He's done? You may say, "But I can't just make myself feel like God loves me." Belief is not a feeling. It's a choice. In spite of our emotions, we can choose to take God at His Word.

It's sometimes hard to reconcile the awfulness that happens in our lives and God's love. We watched Evan Almighty the other week and at one point God tells Evan, "Whatever I do, I do because I love you." It sounds incredible, but it's true. Hollywood actually got something right.
