Hey guys! Well, today, I was sitting in my 6th period geometry class, and I though, does God really love us? For example, the earthquake that recently hit Haiti. Why did God let that happen? Why did he let all those nonbelievers die? Why? WHY? These are some questions that have been running through my head for a long time now. and the great thing is, God lets us ask that. Why. He wants us to struggle and ask questions about our faith. I then thought of all the wonderful ways God has shown His love to us. For example, if it wasn't for Him, we would all be dying forever in hell. He sent His one and only son to die for us so that we may not die. It's called love. A thing that we all need. In my Bible class, my teacher told us, "There are 3 basic needs that everyone requires. Physical needs (food, water, etc.), the need to feel important, and the need to feel loved." It's all because of God that we may feel loved. "We love Him because He first loved us." Live by those words, and never let them die.
So, you're probably thinking I'm going to end this devotion without any final thought, huh? Well, here's my final thoughts. I believe that God allowed that earthquake to hit for a reason. Everything is in His power and His power alone. Everything happens for a reason, for God's reason. That earthquake happened probably to show us God's true power over the Earth. He's saying "I am here. Come to me! Turn to me for guidance! I want to help you. I want to love you. I do love you. So much." Let God's love into your heart and keep it there forever and always. Thanks guys!
Psalm 136:2 "Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever."
