God promises to rescue, protect, and be with everyone who loves Him. I remember when I first realized this truth. I was in middle school, and I was starting to become closer to God. Around that same time, I started reading my Bible more, praying, and beginning to trust God for the first time in my life. I realized everything starts with loving God! Loving God is a decision we get to make every single day. It’s not only a feeling, but it’s a decision. We can choose to love and know God more by simply spending time with God, just like we would with a friend! Think about it. You probably wouldn’t know your friends very well if you didn’t talk to them. You probably wouldn’t feel close to them or feel like your friendship was getting stronger. It’s the same way with God! Spending time with God will help us know Him better. 

Here’s the good news: God promises to love us, protect us, rescue us, and be with us, no matter what we will face. 

So today, start by getting to know God more by talking to Him. Reach out with whatever it is you’re going through and tell Him how you feel. Then, remember His promises to always love you, protect you, rescue you, and be with you.
