He Really Loves Them


John 3:16–17 “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. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."


I have been in three major metropolitan cities in the past three days. They are filled with people of all colors and different cultures. There are millions of them trying to make their way in life. They are all around walking, driving, and working.

As I sat in an airport terminal, in a rental car, and on a street bench, I sensed God’s presence and was overwhelmed with a simple fact: He Loves Them! He loves them more than I love my own wife and children and more than you love the person that means the most to you. He is the Almighty and He loves them with His Almighty love.

God loves all of these people. Despite what they have done and how they have ignored Him, He still loves them. He wants to save them. His great desire is to fill their lives with His loving presence.

The problem is that they have been deceived and find it hard to believe in God. If they can believe in God, they struggle to believe that He would love them the way the Bible says He does.

Those of us that have received God's saving love must show these people that God loves them. We must tell them how much God loves them. We must reveal how good life can be in a life that is filled with the love of God.

It's precious that the Lord would reveal His heart for the lost to you personally as you were travelling. He has called us friends. The clock is ticking, the harvest is plentiful. I pray: Lord send out laborers into Your harvest. Lord use us to show Your great love to the world around us.
