What Does God's Love Have to do with Business?
I was at lunch back in October with some friends and one of them said this to the waitress….”Do you know how much God loves you?”?
She paused for what seemed like 5 minutes, but then said “He still loves me?”
My friend assured her that He did and encouraged her, but I was wondering what was going through this young lady’s mind that she felt disqualified her from the love of God.
Maybe she’s lived a less than perfect life. Maybe she hasn’t been to church in years or ever.
We could come up with a long list of maybes that in this girl’s mind is such a big mountain of regrets, sins, or just condemning thoughts that prevent His affection from flowing her way.
My prayer for this young lady and for all of us is this verse from Ephesians 3:18:
“That you may have the power?and?be strong to apprehend?and?grasp with all the saints [God’s devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it];
[That you may really come] to know [practically,?through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses?mere knowledge

[without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being]?unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and?become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!”
If you’re new to my platform you may be wondering what in the world a message about God’s love has to do with business.
I like to keep things simple so for me it goes like this….
I need the Lord’s help in my business.?I can’t do this without Him.
If I believe that I can do something to cut off His love for me then I’m only going to be confident running to Him when I feel like I deserve it – I read my Bible and prayed every day this week or was kind to everyone or any number of reasons.
But the truth is there is NOTHING I can do to earn His love or stop Him from loving me.
His love is unconditional and He wants to help me in my business even when I haven’t been perfect.
The key is this…..Come to Him.
No matter what you’re dealing with today whether it’s big or small….HE CARES.
Just simply?come to Him knowing that He loves you and wants you to be in His presence.
