Understanding God's Unconditional Love 0:02 We wanna honor God because He sees everything.0:10 You were born with a plan and a purpose. He's the god of all things possible. He's the god of all0:22 miracles.0:52 Welcome to Grace Grace with Naina Michelle. I'm Michelle Humphries.0:56 And I am Naina Keegan. Welcome to the broadcast today. Today we're gonna be talking about how to live life loved and how to really know God's love for you and how much he loves you. I mean,1:08 let's just start with the basic, you know, John 3 16. God loved the world so much that he sent his only son, his1:20 only son to to to us, to to redeem us so that we could live and spend eternity with him in heaven. So if God did not withhold1:32 his only child, his only son from us, then because he loves us so much, then why would he ever withhold anything else we need? Wouldn't that be absurd? If he withheld1:44 our healing or our deliverance or all those things, it almost seems like then that those things are more important to God than his son. Because if he didn't withhold his son because he loves us so much, he won't1:56 withhold those other things. You know, we have to believe. We have to believe and not doubt. We have to trust that love. We have to trust what the word says, and we can't waver from that. You know,2:08 like if God loves us, he send us his word, he sent us these promises. And if you're standing on a promise, maybe is for health or for a wayward child or whatever it is, or a marriage to be restored, and then2:20 you pray, you pray the word, you speak it, and, you know, God's love is right there with you in the midst of your trials. But then you go back and you, oh, everything's terrible and I can't it's2:31 you know, and I feel this and I feel that. You know, we gotta take our feelings out of the equation and simply trust God's perfect love for us, and let that bring about the changes that we2:43 seek in our life.2:45 Amen. And if we knew how much God loved us, I mean, the Bible says nothing can come against love. Think about that. There is nothing that can come against2:57 love. So if we understand that love, then what in the world could come against us? Right? And and then that goes back to the scripture, if God be for us,3:09 who in the world can be against us? And, you know, I, I like to watch birds. And when I see birds, I think, you know, God feeds those birds every day because the3:21 Bible talks about how much God loves us, and it says that consider the birds. They are not worried. They're they're not you you don't see them fretting,3:33 but they are absolutely, you know, flying around and they're getting fed and, you know, it's amazing to me. Especially the little birds that, like, live by the3:44 restaurants. Aren't they the smartest? Right? Stay by the dumpster. Exactly. They're the little fat birds, you know. But but they get it. They're they're hanging out where the abundance is.3:56 And when you realize where you sit in Christ Jesus that he loves you, you'll be like that little fat bird. Right? Well, I I have, like, something to say about4:08 this bird situation because4:11 I have a woodpecker eating my house. Oh. And he's eating pillars. And he goes Really? And when we pat my husband even had to put mace on the pillar. We had to patch it all up, not on the4:22 bird, so that he would we put it on the pillar so that so that he would leave it alone. I mean, we've I mean, this this is like packing like big holes. Big holes, like like a nest hole.4:35 And so then he's going from pillar to pillar, like, like my house is gonna fall down because of this woodpecker. When he wakes you up, you can hear it. So, so I'm not watching that bird. Apparently, he's not trusting4:46 God's love because he's just trying to find a make his own house. There's a zillion trees around.4:53 Pick pick that. That is hilarious.4:56 That's that's my to your I didn't know about I didn't know about your your love of birds like that.5:01 I I love birds.5:02 I think I know everything about you5:03 and see. And And I didn't know you had a woodpecker. I didn't. I I I'm shocked.5:08 This is an ongoing crazy.5:11 We've been so busy lately.5:12 You know, seriously, the other day, I'm on a ladder. This is on our second floor balcony. Right? And I'm on this ladder with my son holding me. Rich is out of town. Lord, don't scare me. Because it's on the outside of5:24 the pillar, and I'm hanging over this with him, like, holding me on this ladder so that I could, like, kind of seal and patch this with, like, wood putty and stuff.5:33 It's been crazy. Have mercy. We're a protector. But because God loves God loves you, Nina.5:40 He's gonna take care of us no matter what. Crazy stories. Right? So what we don't figure out, what we don't have to do on a day. I know it's just like, what else? Like, it's just a woodpecker, like, hanging out at my5:50 house every day. So I don't know.5:52 It's Well, I Lord, we just ask you that this little bird So Yeah. You he he can he loves the birds. He feeds the birds. Yes. He and and the lilies consider the6:04 lilies of the field. Some. Yes. Solomon dressed in royal robe doesn't have the wealth of them. I mean, when we realize how much God loves us, then what in the world? Right?6:14 Yeah. I even just lately I've been going through these couple of scriptures and just simple ones, the ones that everybody knows and hears about is Psalm 91 and Psalm 23. And, you know, the Bible goes over and over and6:26 over again in these Psalms about all that he's gonna do for you and take care of you. And with a long healthy life, he you should live and he sends he he he takes care of there's no plagues that can come near your6:37 dwelling. He sends angels to surround you and take care of you. And then even Psalm 23, he says, you know, he wants to give you rest. He makes you to lie down in green pastures. He gives you rest for your soul. Like, he6:49 just like, if you think about how much he loves for you and how much what wouldn't he do for you? Because those of us who are parents, or even if you you even if you had7:01 a good grandmother or somebody yourself in your life that, you know, would absolutely do anything for you and to make your life better and to help you and to get you through tough times or whatever that is,7:13 how much more, you know, was the perfect love? Because God's love is perfect, and even that perfect love casts out all fear. Amen. And so I always7:25 when I get in some anxiety or fear, I would say, God, love me perfectly today. You know, just feel that perfect love. And, you you know, when you just kind of just sit and bask in that love he has for7:37 you, if you go through those scriptures, even just look it up. Go go go on your computer and look up all the scriptures about God's love for you, and it'll astound you how many mention and7:48 talk about how much God loves you. You can't outrun God's love for you. You can't it'll chase you down, the Bible says. And I mean and that's amazing too, isn't it? Like, just think about that.8:00 He he The blessings of God will chase you down. That's what the Bible says.8:03 And that's his love. His, you know, he loves you so much that he is he wants to bless you in so many ways. It's just, it's just mind boggling. If we ever just get a hold of that concept, just that alone,8:15 you know8:16 We go nuts if we if we just thought about all the ways God loves us. Like, I just found out that, if you play music like from the8:28 symphony to your plants, which some of our plants need this, that they'll they'll get healthier because, like, when the birds chirp, God puts it all together. Right? When the birds8:40 chirp, they wake up something in plants and farmers have figured this out and they're growing, better crops as a result. So God like think about the chirping of a8:52 bird wakes up something in a plant. Amazing. That's how much God loves us and we're gonna come back.8:58 Just like all of you, I had problems sleeping. I had tried every pillow out there and nothing worked. I'd flip flop all night, use my arm for support, and fall asleep, or I'd wake up with a sore neck or maybe a headache.9:10 Well, quality sleep comes from keeping your neck straight at night.

And I know that could be harder for some people that maybe you feel like, you know, you10:09 haven't really been loved. Like, maybe you weren't loved as a child or maybe you have abandonment issues in some way.10:15 Maybe you're sick.10:16 Yeah. And10:16 you're tired of being sick, and you that makes you feel unloved.10:20 Yeah. And so you you might maybe you think, well, because all these things are happening in my life, God doesn't really love me. He couldn't love me. And nothing could be, you know, further from the truth. I mean, he he10:30 loves you perfectly and and, you know, the problem is we we live in the world and things happen because we're part of the world. But we are overcomers10:42 through the blood of the lamb and the words of our testimony. And when we trust God and step out in faith and just keep believing, keep knocking, keep asking, keep trusting in his love for you in prayer and just just10:54 knowing that that love can cover over everything. It can change everything. And, you know, there's 3 kinds of love. Like, I I feel like when I was studying about God 3 points, basically, about11:06 God's love. And 1 is that it's unconditional. It's unconditional. Amen. Like, no matter what you do, no matter what you have done, no matter where you've been, what you've walking in, what you're doing right now, he11:17 loves you. He made you, and he loves you so much, and he's he's he's he's not gonna let you perish. He wants you for himself. He wants you to just be with him, repent, and he's there11:29 with you. And second point is his love is everlasting. It never ends. It will never end. As far as the east is from the west, he loves you and it's it's it's forever and ever and ever.11:41 And even if even if, you know, he if he's he doesn't know you, even if you're you don't have a relate personal relationship with him, he still made you and he still loves you, and he he desires that11:53 that relationship with you. And then the third point is it's sacrificial. You know, the ultimate expression of God's love for you was the sacrifice his son made on the cross for you. And so12:05 when even if you just start thinking about that, his unconditional, everlasting, and sacrificial love for you, it's kind of blows you away, right, when you just think about the magnitude. There's no words for it12:17 really because God is love. That's the God's basic definition. That's who he is. It it's just like that's the the defining word12:29 for God. And and and,12:31 like, people who are dating, like, I think about, you know, I really did not I got saved when I was 7. And then once I started driving, I started going to church.12:43 And, so by the time I started driving, I was beginning to date. And I dated someone for about a year, and, I mean, I12:54 was walking down the hallway of school, and the Lord spoke to my heart, and he gave me a vision of that guy in 2013:06 years. And he told me he said, I am love, and he does not love me. His heart is cold towards me,13:18 and I didn't know anything about being equally oaked. No 1 had ever preached that to me, and and he said, and in 20 years, his heart will be cold towards you. And I was like, done.13:31 Absolutely broke up with him. Nothing happened, but I was like, done. I was it was it was over that day. I was like, uh-uh. When God speaks to you, it's over.13:41 Dude, I know what you're like in 20 years.13:43 20 years down the road, no.13:44 I quit you.13:45 I quit you. I can't date you. No. I didn't tell him any of this because he wouldn't have understood. I just broke up and just said, you know, just wanna be friends. All is well. See you.13:57 You know what I think the problem is today, 1 of the problems, is is that we use the term love so randomly and about everything. Oh, I love that show. Oh, I love that14:09 shirt. Oh, I love that food. You know, whatever it is, it's like we throw this word around, like, you know, like it's so so then people don't really understand14:20 what it truly means Yeah. To be loved by God or to truly love someone or have someone love you with their whole heart. And and and just to really bask and receive that love.14:32 Because like I said, it's that love. Like, do you you know, it's so randomly thrown out about everything right now. You know, oh, I love it. That's okay. You know, it's like it's it's not it's not,14:44 you know, saved Right. For the expression of, like, true love that that, you know, comes, you know, from a marriage or how you love a child or how God truly loves you.14:55 Yeah. And sometimes, I mean, honestly, Christian marriages, end in divorce. And and you know what the Bible says? That that's because of a hardness of heart in 1 of the 1 or the other. And15:07 I know that sounds harsh, but somebody, if there were both Christians when they married, 1 of their hearts got hard or they would have done they would have moved15:19 moved everything around to make sure they stayed married because the Bible says God hates divorce. And I understand sometimes I mean, you you got a divorce. That that's just the way it is. There's an abuse. There's an15:29 adultery or whatever. But if you married a Christian, the a true Christian, then you God can make you fall in love with them.15:41 You know? God can give you his love. It's called agape love. God can give you that god love, that agape love for your spouse. And I believe you can get a crush on your15:53 spouse even when you're old. You know, I asked the lord for that when I married my husband. I said, lord, just make me have a crush on him. Even when we're old, let me have a crush on him.16:04 It's always crushing on her husband. I I16:06 do have crush on my husband. I mean, we we argue and whatever, we're real, but I have a crush on him. I I do, and I I think he has a crush on me. He's right over there, and he better just be16:17 not.16:21 But you know, and and the and the same goes with the word hate. Yeah. Do you hear how people are like, oh, I hate that. I hate that food. I hate, I hate, I hate. And but but saying that to a person, you know, I16:33 just hate you or I'm you know, like that is so harsh. But that, you know, you have you ever heard that old, like, adage that says, like, you can say 1 kind thing and, like, or 1 negative thing and16:45 50 kind things, and they're gonna remember the negative thing, and it's gonna pierce and hurt and all of that, and does so much harm. And so, you know, we have to stop ourselves and think, okay, would if God is love and16:57 he wants us to walk in love and be like him, well, what would he think about what I just said or what I'm about to say? Even if you feel it, if you're mad at the moment, you have to, like, learn to just control, walk in17:08 self control, which is 1 of the fruits of the spirit, and ask God to help you just to walk in love and to Amen. Be in love. And we're gonna talk more about that when we come right back. Stay right there. You are watching17:19 Grace Grace with Nina and Michelle.17:21 This past year has been 1 of the hardest in MyPillow's history. It's because of you that we're making it through.

Not only that, order 75 dollars or more shipped absolutely free. From all of us here at MyPillow18:19 Thanks again, God. Welcome back to Grace Grace. We are talking about how much God loves you. I mean, you cannot even imagine. In fact, the18:31 Bible says, eye has not seen, ear has not heard the things that God has prepared for those who love him. And if you love him, you gotta know he18:42 loves you way more than you can even comprehend. And no matter where you are, there's not a place you can go that that you're not gonna be with the love of God. It's all18:54 encompassing. He loves you. And if you walk in that, think if if, you know, the enemy is called the accuser of the brethren. So that means19:06 he's always constantly trying to accuse you and make you feel like you are less than so that you cannot boldly approach the Lord. And the19:18 Lord is saying, come to me. I love you. I can't wait to have time with you. And and and you're you're feeling like, oh, well, God, you know, I'm not worthy. I'm I'm not. Yep. You're19:30 right. We're not. We're not worthy.19:32 All of that mess.19:33 True. But because of the blood, because of the sacrifice, we can go boldly to the throne of grace, and we can find help in times of trouble. And there's nothing that can happen to us if we if19:44 we have something terrible happen to us. If somebody in your family just suddenly died or or there's a long illness or maybe you're ill, that can make us feel like I have gone through things19:56 and I have been like, where are you? I serve you. Show me where you are. And and when I look back at those times, I think, god, you were so20:08 close to me Yeah. Because he will not he will not bruise, the Bible talks about a bruised reed. He will not despise. You know, when you're bruised and when you need him,20:20 he's right there. He's with you in your sick bed. You know? I mean, I think about the disciples. Oh my goodness. They were they were ripped. They were,20:32 sawed in too. The Bible says, you know, they were they were, they they were burned at the stake, some some Christians, you know, martyrs. Think about this. Did God20:44 not love them? No. The Bible says that the world wasn't even worthy of them because God they understood the love of God so that they could get past this this life and20:56 walk right on into the next. You know, when you think about that, that's love. That's understanding love that that you that you could go through all these hard times and21:07 still understand that God loves21:09 you through it. And, you know, the bio the scripture that says, to your point, count it all joy when you go through these trials of nature. And yet, because, you know, you and I, honestly, it's like we've21:21 we've laughed and said it was the table tennis of trials. Like, some of the things that we've been through, you wouldn't believe. And yet, we can count it joy because of the the I say, if I21:33 knew what God knows I wouldn't change a thing. Because the closeness, what what a trial causes you to become so close and so just at his21:44 feet relying on him for your very breath, for for just you you don't know how you're gonna get through the next day, you know. And and yet he's so close to us, and you learn so much about his love and his21:56 faithfulness in the trials that for that is is why you would count it all joy, because it's it's it's just a love that you cannot. He's so close to the brokenhearted.22:08 He does turn your, your ashes, he gives you beauty for ashes. He turns your ashes into beautiful things when it's all said and done, because when you're walk, you know, you're walking through the valley,22:21 you know, that means there's an end22:22 to it. Through the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil.22:26 And so when you walk through, that means there's an end to it. You're only going through something. And but God's there with you at the beginning, the middle, the end. He's with you the whole time. He's never gonna leave22:38 you or forsake you in any of those times. And you know, you think about it, you and I both have these little brands, these little grandkids that are just the the dearest things to our hearts. Like you you22:50 just couldn't love them more if you tried your heart about burst open. And just, you know, my little grandson who's 3, when he just randomly will will tell me, you know, Mimi, I just love you. I just love you.23:02 And it just melts our hearts, like, it just like and because it's like that sweet, innocent, childlike faith, and and yet that's all God asks of us is that same thing. Imagine if we23:14 just said, God, I just love you. Thank you so much for everything. And we just came to him like that little child does, and imagine how much more, because he's so perfect in in his23:25 love for us, would he receive that by by us just telling him those things? Because I'm telling you, there's nothing better. You know, even my little grandson will will, Mimi, come here, and he has to whisper it to me.23:37 You know, I love you so much. You know, it's just this it doesn't It's23:40 precious, and that's that's how we Everything. And and and that's you know, he doesn't have an agenda. He's filled up, you know, with love for you. Think about that. You know? My23:52 my little grandson, Super Dave Humphreys, he he said 1 day to me, he goes, grandma, why do you love me so much? And I said, I can't explain it, but I I just know you couldn't hold all this24:03 love. You'd blow up. And I always tell him that. There's it's impossible. You're not quite tall enough yet. It's impossible.24:10 You gotta grow into it.24:11 And I think you're amazing. And if if I think that about my grandchild, what do you think God thinks of us? If if we can feel that, if God is love24:23 and we feel that, it says if we being evil can give good gifts to our children, think how much more God loves us. Right? So ponder that and let's pray.24:35 Lord, I thank you for your love. I pray for those who are going through hard times right now, Lord, through trials, through different tribulations, or we don't know what they are, but you24:47 know and you see them. You're in the room with them. And I pray right now, Nina and I come into agreement that they will feel your love even as we're talking right now and even as we're praying24:59 right now that the Holy Spirit will pour out love on them. And, God, for those who who are wounded by words or whatever, those who are abandoned, they25:11 feel abandoned by people that they love. I pray, God, that you will show them your love and show them that you will never leave them. You're never gonna forsake them. And, God, those who are sick, we ask that you would25:23 make them well and that, God, that you will give them health, Lord. And we thank you that we will all have a greater understanding of your love, and we will move from glory to glory. In Jesus' name.25:34 Amen.25:35 Praise God. Amen. Hallelujah.
