Evidence Of God’s Love

One of the most liberating truths of life, is that we are loved by God. There are times when we know that to be true and there are times where we may need a bit more convincing. When times are hard, we have problems in our marriage or relationships, things may not be going well at work, or it just feels like life has dealt us a bad hand - it may be hard to truly feel that God loves us and delights in us. However, the following statement found in the Psalms shows one way to know God delights in us:

By this I know that you delight in me: my enemy will not shout in triumph over me. - Psalm 41:11

In spite of what we may be going through or how we are feeling, the evidence that God delights in us is the fact that the enemy of our souls can’t say, “Ha, it’s over for you” - as if that is a true statement. Even if we feel like we are losers, we are not. Even if it feels like things will never be better, that is not the truth. Those that are against us would try to make us think that all is lost, that we might as well just pack it in. But we can know that God delights in us because all things eventually do work together for our good. If you look at your history, you will see the troubles of life can’t and won’t outlast the love of God.
