There’s nothing that brings a smile to your face faster than when you “know” you are loved! It’s a confidence booster like none other when you truly feel the warmth of being “loved!” Not the sappy, superficial kind of fakeness that people use when they want something - but rather the real, meaningful, honest, unselfish kind of love. Somehow, just knowing that someone loves you unconditionally, just the way you are - helps your self esteem, and gives you the courage to believe in yourself. And of course you would never want that special person who loves you, to ever lose their faith in you, so that helps you strive harder to be the person they believe you to be. You can’t help but love them in return and would never want to let them down! So it is with God, who loves you unconditionally! He believes in you, and loves you more than anyone else possibly could! You will never find anyone on this earth who will ever love you more than Jesus does! When you fall in love with Jesus, you want to live up to His expectations and never let Him down - and the more you understand His deep and abiding love - you just can’t help but love Him even more!
