God Loves You!

Leviticus 1:1  

"And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake 

unto  him out of the tabernacle  of

the congregation, saying,"

    There is one word we hear every day, Our name. However, every time it's said it doesn't carry the same meaning. Let's say your name is Janet. There's a "Janet that is said sweetly and means "I love you." Then there is a "Janet" that is said sternly and means "You're in big trouble." There can also be the "Janet" said pleadingly that might indicate that someone is about to ask for a favor. There are many meanings to any name depending on how it is said.

    God was speaking directly to Moses. In fact this is recorded no less than fifty times in the book. Speaking face to face with Moses distinguished Moses from the prophets who followed him. Every time God Communicated with Moses whether it was expression, "He spoke, He said, or He commanded." It was always preceded by first God calling Moses by name, because by calling him by name was an expression of affection. When God called Moses' name it wasn't to get his attention, punish him or ask for a favor. When God Called Moses' name it was to tell him that He loved him. Only then would God go into what was at hand. First came the love everything else came second.

    My friends, God's love for us comes before any thing else. God's love is unconditional and unwavering. "The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee," (Jer. 31:3). It is important for us to teach our children to Love God, but it's even more important to teach them how much God Loves them. People who know they are loved by God know that they are valuable and lovable no matter what anyone else says. They will have the love to pass on to others and give back to God. Remember, God Loves You! More than any of us will every know. 

Amen!
