Happy Sunday! How has y’all’s week been?

Here’s a short encouragement post for today!

So, in the beginning, according to the Bible…what happened?

God created the earth.

Do you know why?

Well I’m going to tell you…

When God made the world, it was because of love.

God’s love and longing for us was what prompted him and inspired him to create us! He wanted to get to know you and to love you, to spoil you with goodness!

“We love because he first loved us.” 1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭19‬ ‭NIV

God was the first one to love us, even when we didn’t love him. But, God also loved us first, in the very beginning, ‬‬before we were born. That was the first thing that he was thinking of when he was making the earth: how to make it for his children.

When God created the earth, he was so excited for you to be born, even though it would take years for that to happen! I just love picturing him all giggly and excited, saying something like, “Ahh!! *Insert-your-name-here* is going to be so amazing, I’m so excited! I can’t wait to meet them face-to-face. I love them so much already.”

It’s a pretty cool image, huh? Picturing God excited when he was making the earth just for you.

God is especially fond of you, friend. I hope you know that.🧡
