Sometimes Christians don’t feel loved by God.
That’s because feelings are unreliable.
Feelings often have no basis in fact.
Any Christian who feels unloved by God is wrong.
The facts prove otherwise.
If you ever start to wonder about God’s love, read through these passages and get your facts straight:(1)
Psalm 86:5: You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.
Psalm 117:2: For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD.
Psalm 118:4: Let those who fear the LORD say: "His love endures forever."
Psalm 136:11: His faithful love endures forever.
Zephaniah 3:17: The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.

Galatians 2:20: I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
