But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” – 1 Peter 2:9 For you see, each day I love you more, today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.” Rosemonde Gérard I know Jesus loved His siblings, but He loves us too. He said those who do God's will are His siblings. Although we have natural siblings, through Jesus, we have spiritual siblings as well. He makes us all one family. 15. Christ believes you are worth dying for. If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.” A. A. Milne And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, ‘Behold My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother.” – Matthew 12:49-50

Spread love. Hug the people you care about and make sure they know that you care and appreciate them. Make it known to your friends and family that you love them.” Germany Kent These scriptures use the love of a husband for his wife to show us how much Christ loves us. He gave Himself for us to sanctify us and cleanse us. 14. You have a family through Christ. God loved us from the very beginning, which is why He sent Jesus to atone for our sins. In other words, God’s love covers our sins. I saw that you were perfect, and so I loved you. Then I saw that you were not perfect, and I loved you even more.” Angelita LimDid you know you are adopted? We all are! And since we are adopted into God’s family, we are His children. We have a Father who loves us unconditionally, provides for us, and protects us. God is watching over your every move. He proactively listens to you to help you. Why? Because you are special to Him, and He loves you. God doesn't create junk. Every person He created has purpose, value, worth. You weren't some random afterthought that God threw together. On the contrary, He took His time with you. From your hair texture to your height, skin color, and everything in between, you were fearfully and wonderfully made. 3. You were in God's plan before you were born. Ambassadors have an important job. We have an essential task, too; we are ambassadors for Christ. He entrusts us with the work of reconciliation because He loves us. 12. You are adopted into God's family.

I encourage you to let Abraham, Sarah, Joseph, David, Hagar, Esther, Ruth, Mary (Jesus mother), Lazarus, Mary, Martha, Noah, and all the other witnesses tell you how beloved you are. You'll spend a lifetime reading and gleaning from their stories. We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.”– 1 John 3:16 Before I formed you in the womb I knew you and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.” – Jeremiah 1:5Did you know you are the apple of God’s eye? In Christ, you needn’t feel insignificant or unseen. This scripture is life-changing as it can help us understand and accept that God loves and cherishes us. 2. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching, love like you’ll never be hurt, sing like there’s nobody listening, and live like it’s heaven on earth.” William W. Purkey One of my sisters-in-Christ says the Bible is 66 love letters from God to us. And she is correct. Narrowing down those 66 love letters to 20 scriptures is difficult. These scriptures aren't the only verses that teach us how beloved we are. They are simply a starting point. God promises always to lead those He loves to victory in Christ. 10. God trusts you to treasure His Spirit. Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.” Robert A. Heinlein
