Your whole life will light up when you know in every fiber of your being that Almighty God is, to use the nearest human expression, head-over-heels in love with you.

Nothing is so exciting, fulfilling and heart-warming as being loved by the most wonderful Person in the universe.

No one understands you like your Maker. He alone has been with you every moment from your conception. No one feels your every pain and delights in your happiness like God. No one longs to exalt you and shower you with gifts like him.

More than anything else in the universe, glimpsing the immensity of God’s personal, passionate love for you will flood your life with peace and security. Neither death nor disaster could ever rob you of the eternal love throbbing within you. Suddenly life will have meaning like never before.

The God with powers beyond our wildest dreams delights in you, loving you more passionately than the most devoted mother or proudest father or grandparent, and more than any starry-eyed lover has ever loved.

And yet God’s spiritual enemies are relentlessly scheming and working at undermining your awareness of the purity and intensity of God’s boundless love for you. Every Christian on this planet is subjected to this repeated assault. Remaining continually conscious of God’s love for us and convinced of its magnitude is one of life’s greatest and never-ending spiritual battles.

So bookmark or note the web address of this page to ensure you won’t lose it and then pamper yourself by exploring every link below. Each is prayerfully crafted to intensify your awareness of, and enjoyment of, the most exquisite love anyone could ever dream of. As you proceed through the links you will find comfort and help in facing your doubts that God sees you as special and is in love with you; doubts that God is lovable and doubts that he is truly good and kind and selfless and fair.

The groundless fear that the loving, forgiving Lord frowns on us is like an oppressive fog. It saps us of enthusiasm and undermines the wonderful things our loving Lord longs to do in our lives. Contrast this with the assurance that the King of all kings is thrilled with you; that there is a real sense in which you are the center of his universe and that he is selflessly devoted to maximizing your eternal happiness. A glimpse of God’s eternal love for you will spur you to victory in every area of your life. Your faith will soar and you’ll be inspired to mind-boggling heights of achievement.

Before we take the plunge, let’s pray:

Lord God,
I long for you to be the love of my life. I hear of others having gooey feelings about you and dramatic spiritual experiences but most of the time my only feeling is that of being left out. I want to find you warm and intimate and perfect in all your ways but more often than not you seem cold and aloof and more interested in other people. Nevertheless, I crave not just excitement and fulfillment but reality. I don’t want to delude myself, nor miss out on the best you have for me. Please open my eyes to your real nature. I want to know you as you truly are and to have the courage and conviction to devote my life to what you reveal.

As an act of thanks for this website, Toni Gilyard sent me her poem that lets us glimpse the exquisite delight each of us can find in God’s love:

You are intimate and obvious
and delicious and satisfying
and intoxicating and sobering
You are passionate and steady
and amazing and gentle
and invigorating and oh so very quiet . . .
I am out of words for now
words describe . . . and limit
words contain – restrict – define and explain
Let me be out of words for now
Let me stay here in this silent love . . .
Resting in the glaring mystery of you
Hushed in the majestic awe of you . . .
