God's Promises of Love: 30 Christian Devotions about God's Love and Acceptance (God's Love Book 2)

By Mona M. Hanna

God understands your pain.

We go through so much difficulty in our lives - stress because of work, anguish from our relationships, negativity from our self-hatred and judgment. We wonder how we'll ever cope.

God promises love and healing in all our circumstances. God sees every single thing that happens to us - our every worry and concern - and is right by our side in what we go through. There's no situation that God can't manage. He'll help us when we're distressed. He'll help us when we're not coping. He'll help us when we can't help ourselves.

God's Promises of Love contains 30 Christian devotions, focusing on God's help when we're hurting. It's the follow up to Mona's successful first devotional, The Nature of God. Continue your journey on the path to discover God's true love and acceptance.

About the Author

Even if I Do Something Wrong, On Purpose

I keep thinking there’s a standard of behavior I must reach. Now that I’m a more mature Christian, and I write about God, I must be a super Christian who does everything right. It’s all about rules and standards.

But God accepts me as I am. Even if I make a million mistakes. Even if I do something wrong, on purpose. I keep thinking that God won’t love me unless I’m completely pure inside — completely pure of heart, and everything I do comes from the right place. If I did the wrong thing, I meant well.

But God loves me, even if my heart is black. He loves me. He won’t accept me only if I do the right thing, or mean well, or have a pure heart. He accepts me no matter what I do. He truly loves me. It’s okay if I’m a mess. It’s okay if I make mistakes. It’s okay if I do the wrong thing sometimes. God won’t accept me only if I make the right choices. He loves me, no matter what I do.

God loves us as if we’re children, and wants to hold onto us and protect us as if we’re his children. He doesn’t have the high expectations of us, that we have of ourselves. He wants us to be calm. He wants us to relax. Don’t push yourself too hard. It’s okay. God loves us.

We Don’t Need to Have Perfect Faith

There are times when God promises me something. I’ll feel quite strongly he’s saying he’ll take care of a certain matter, for example how I’ll pay for future expenses. I’ll feel that God is carefully managing my life, and, whilst my life will still be a struggle, it will be a struggle under his control. I’m not on my own, and don’t
