Today’s devotional: does God really love me uniquely?
If God loves everybody, what's so special about the fact that he loves me? Is God's love for all of us exactly the same, and does that mean there's nothing individual or unique about our relationship with Him?

Yes God does love us all the same. But this is where people become confused. God does love us but what is love if it is not returned? God wants our love back and the best way to show your love for him is the follow him and his son Jesus. Following Him means that you will do what he asks of you and believe in his son and that he came and died on the cross and arose on the third day to save us from our rebellion to his love.
How awesome is this that he lay down his life to redeem us so that we could live with him forever in his house.
God loves everybody, but its upon an individual’s decision to make God’s love special in his/her life,,,For example, Jesus loved all of us and came and died for us all,,but this doesn’t mean that we are all going to heaven, the fact that He is the way, the truth and life,, and no one can go to the father except through Him! it is a personal decision. Some decided to believe him and to love him back and some still have hardened hearts.Those will not see the kingdom of God and therefore didn’t put to use the blood of the lamb! Likewise, God’s love is abundant but it is upon you to realize it and make it unique,,
“For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” JOHN 3:16(NIV)
This implies that God doesn’t segregate,, He loves all of us the same way,, but my friend,believing in his son is a personal choice,, thus people who believe in his son have realized God’s love and have made it unique!! and believe me there are people who don’t believe in Jesus,, they have not put God’s love in practice,,
Yes God does love us uniquely. It is true that God loves us all, not in the same way, but in the same measure. He created us all, but He didn’t create us to be the same. We all have unique ways of looking, doing things, thinking and we even go through trials differently. We may go through some of the same things in nature, but my circumstances aren’t going to be the same as the next person’s, because of the person God created me to be. When God created man, He created him to be the stronger, and woman to be the weaker of the two; man is more physical, while woman is more emotional. Because of these differences alone, God ministers to us differently. Being that He created each individual in His own unique way, He knows just how to give us what we need according to our characters. Remember He knows everything about us, even the number of hairs on our heads.
God’s love is so unconditional. Not one of us has earned it, or deserves it. We are so fortunate to have his grace and love. Though we are called to great works as Christians … it does not earn God’s love. God IS love 1JN4:8. We cannot earn what HE IS. He is The Creator, who loves the created so much that he became one of us. He is perfect love … in all it’s glory. You can no more separate yourself from God’s love, then you could separate yourself from God. It is total, unconditional and will always seek out your heart. Even in the depths of sin, we hear the words of the creator in our hearts. My friends, we have been bought and paid for in blood!! There is no way to separate yourself from that, unless you VERY willingly walk away, and even then … The Creator … will call you back.
Be Blessed!!! You are loved … because GOD IS LOVE!!!!!
Lets, tackle one question at a time. First let’s define love – Love is an action word. It’s what you do for someone that who’s love not what you say. Your actions must line up with your words. Now for your questions. First you want to know what’s so special about God’s Love? Well, he loves us unconditionally….how many people can you say love you unconditionally. His love is a gift. We didn’t have to ask for it. His son died so that we could be shown that even when we are unlovable God still loves us. We didn’t do anything to deserve it. It was given freely. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave is only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perrish but have everlasting life. That’s what makes Gods love special. Are you willing to give your life for someone you say you love.
Second, Yes God’s love is the same. He makes no difference between you an I. Example- If you have children do you love them both/all the same? If not then why is that? God tells us how can you love Him, whom you have not seen, and not love your brother (child, spouse, mother or father) whom you see everyday? If you do love them the same then that shows that you make no difference in the love you have. Now the point of it being individual comes because we are all unique and are individuals. We all have our own personalitites. The love God shows us lines up with how we are individually. He will give to us according to what we ask. All my needs from Him will not be the same as yours. True we, may have some of the same needs, but there are some things you need more than I and some things I need more than you. This is what makes His love for us individual and unique.
I hope this answers your questions. Please remember that GOD LOVES YOU AND YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO ASK HIM FOR HIS LOVE.
BE BLESSED.
Yes God Loves Us all and Yes we should Love him back but love him with all ur heart and soul why we should well Jesus commended us to love our Lord God with all our heart and soul God deserve our love cause he love us before we were born here in the world he knew us before cause he is before and after his plans for us is to be tested with our faith and how much faith we have in him and Gods love is true always cause he will never leaves us
That is one tough question! Nothing about God ever changes, He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. BUT God is also infinite! To limit His Love by saying that it’s always the same causes it to lose power. By placing any parameters on His Love, we are in fact putting it in a box. God did make you completely unique. Just in His designing you, you could say that how He feels for you is special. That’s the best thing about God’s Love for us! He desires a very deep and personal relationship with each of us as individuals! I think this question would be better answered by God.
