You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, And a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

Isaiah 62:3 NIV

Satan’s first deception took place in the Garden of Eden with Eve. He deceived her into thinking she was not made in the likeness of God, and she questioned God’s love for her. It’s the same exact deception the enemy continues to use today. Many are perishing because they are not rooted and grounded in God’s personal love for them. We were never created to establish our own identity through material possessions or people, that are always fleeting, unstable, and imperfect. There is only one constant stability in our life that we can depend on and its God’s love for us. The enemy ferociously makes a conscious effort to present circumstances and situations to make us doubt God’s love. Our identity must be rooted in the true gospel of Grace gifted to us through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Many times, we allow our emotions to blind side us into thinking that there is a better way other than the way God designed it. Or that God has forgotten us. That is the bait of the enemy. Once he has us in that mindset, we venture off looking for other things to satisfy the void in our lives that only Jesus can fill. We are containers of God’s love, and he takes delight in filling us until we are running over in HIS love. When you are rooted in the love God has for you your entire being will change, that’s what perfect love does it just continues to give and bless you beyond your wildest dreams.

I have loved you with an everlasting love; With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.

Jerm 31:3
