I Loved You First, More, Most

February 23, 2024 12 Comments

When my twin boys were babies, and throughout all their years of life, my sister-in-love always told them this phrase: “I loved you first, more, most, and before you were even born. It’s always a race to see who can say it first. They would giggle and laugh as they all said it at the same time and then hug real big. Kathy greatly cared for them for us until they were almost two years old. Because of that, they have such a special bond. I dwelled on that this morning when I heard the Lord whisper, “I loved you first, more, most, and before you were even born.”

Scripture tells us in 1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭19‬, “We love him because he first loved us.” The thoughts God has about us have been nothing but love. He tells us, “For I know the thoughts I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope” (see Jeremiah 29:11). In fact, God has never had a single bad thought about you. It’s always been about God’s love for you. He loves you the most and proved it when He died on the cross for your sins. His love never changes, and He loves you just as much today as He did when you were conceived in your mother’s womb. As the Bible says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (see Hebrews 13:8).

No one can surpass the love that God has for you. He loved you first, more, most, and before you were even born!

  10. Thanks for this reminder. Although we may have heard a word or scripture before, it brings new light when applying to a personal reality. I left my support group, my family, my rock a little over a year- telling God I needed to be stretched. I was too familiar with how to get what I wanted or needed. No, it’s not a bad thing- but I could tell my growth depending on God had. slowed down tremendously. Crazy thing I am not a young woman with savings stored away for hard times. Just the opposite- in my sixties, just lost my job and there is no savings- 401k well, only God!
    Reason I give you such a back story is to let you know, being reminded that God loves us first, before we were even brought to this earth brings comfort during my first year of Obstacles- moving to a place where you know, no one. Than having your Adult child saying you left us. Reminded me, even if I was there I could not bless/provide more than what the Lord can, nor love them harder than what Lord does.

    Thank you for this word of peace through my storm.
