We all want someone to feel this way about us, that they hold us in their hearts and have certainty that the God who began a good work in you will complete it. These are the people who want the best for us, hoping that love and knowledge grow.
The good news of the Gospel is that this is how God feels about us! God loves you so much that God holds you in God's heart and wants the best for you, sending the Holy Spirit to help you grow in love and knowledge. No one can love you like Jesus can -- we often doubt this, or we wonder about it, but God never doubts God's love for you, and if you doubt it... then doubt your doubts, as Tim Keller says. God loves you enough to die for you!
The challenge, then, is that if we're loved by Christ like this, who can we show this kind of love to? Who can we share such love and prayers with?
