    We need reassurance of God’s love

    A lot of people are asking why the world is the way it is. What’s going on? What on earth is God doing? Most of these people have never considered God before, but are questioning now that there is this terrible international crisis that is killing thousands daily across the world. At times like these, one can be tempted to doubt the love of God, when actually, an assurance of how much God does love us is what we need to carry us through this time. Whenever we are tempted to doubt God’s love, we should read John 17 slowly, listen to God talking, and thank Him for including us in the story of His glory. The glory of God is the display of His excellence. Jesus not only prayed for Himself, but also for His apostles and then for those of us who would believe in Him. The story of glory will go on forever. One day we will personally behold the glory of our Saviour, see the display of His excellence, and join the heavenly community of the family of God.
