Why does God hate me?
We each have wondered sometimes, “Why does God hate me?”
First of all, “No!” A great big “No!” God does not hate you. He does not hate you for whatever you’ve done. When He sent His Son Jesus to die for our sins, He already knew all the things we would do and He was ready to forgive them, even if we for some reason found ourselves making the same mistakes over and over again.
God does not hate you. He loves you. Even more than that, He likes you. He likes the way you look. He likes the way you see things. Your thoughts are interesting and worthwhile to Him.
When we wonder if God hates us, it’s often either because we hate ourselves or because things seem to not be going right in our lives and we wonder if God is out to get us.
God does not hate you. He likes you for who you are right now. If He likes you, you can learn to like yourself. If there is frustration with the way life is working out, there are ways to change things starting right now. God’s solutions always work out.
Sometimes difficult situation exist for different reasons. Sometimes it’s genuinely us who made some mistakes. Sometimes those mistakes are very big and terrible….but it doesn’t matter. With God, there is always a way out. There is always a solution that will work. He has a GPS that can put you on the right course immediately, and lead you to a shortcut.
He is able, because He is God, to take your mistakes and redeem them. He can make them work out for the best. He can change the meaning of what has happened in the past, and make it into something good.
Romans 8:28 promises that He makes all things work together for good. He does this when we love Him and are called according to His purposes.
If you would like to trust God and take His way out of your problems, please consider it’s easy for you to begin a relationship with God right now. He does not require you to be perfect or even a “good” person to know Him. He accepts anyone who accepts His Son Jesus.
If you are not sure you know Him, God’s plan is that whoever you are, whatever you are doing and thinking, that you would take the step of salvation and begin a relationship with Him today.
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus died for your sins, and believe in your heart that He rose from the dead, you are saved. (Romans 10:19). This is a promise from God. He does not break promises. If you want to say “Yes” to God right now, please follow along with this prayer and say it from you to Him:
Dear Jesus, I admit I need you.
Please come into my life and heart right now.
You died for my sins and rose again.
I accept your new life and Holy Spirit today.
In your name I pray, Amen.
