1) God IS Love
We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. 1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

2) God Loves ME
For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

3) God Loves THROUGH ME
“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.” Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭14‬-‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

You see, we don’t go around preaching about ourselves. We preach that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves. 2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭5‬-‭7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Sofa Chats with Valerie Bailey, the Podcast, is an extension of my blog found at www.sofachats.blogspot.com

On these broadcasts, I share my heart, my stories, my poems, songs and devotionals. It's my hope that each listener finds great encouragement as we take a few minutes to LOOK UP to God, LOOK IN at our own hearts and LOOK OUT into a world that needs to be loved. Thanks for joining me on today's Sofa Chat!

In a fast-paced world, Sofa Chats invites you to slow down for a few moments to think about life and the Giver of Life. You'll enjoy its honest, conversational, and poetic approach as Valerie candidly shares her heart, her fictional & non-fictional stories, poems, and devotionals. Each one is intertwined with little discoveries she has made about God from His Word, from living everyday life with Him, and from quiet moments spent with Him. She encourages every reader that God greatly desires to connect with each and every one of us – showing us who He is and who we are in Him. So come on in! There's a place on the sofa saved just for you.
