But what does God really think about me?

Now Jesus loved Martha, her sister, and Lazarus. So when he heard that he was sick, he stayed two more days in the place where he was. (John 11:5-6)

Many people, including Christians, often have this nagging doubt in the back of our minds in which we ask, “But what does God really think about me?”

When Jesus delayed in coming and Lazarus died, I’m sure that Mary and Martha were thinking the same thing about Jesus.

“Does Jesus really love us? Why didn’t he come? Why didn’t he heal Lazarus.”

But what was the truth? What did Jesus really think about them?

He loved them.

When we’re going through struggles and God seems to be silent, it’s easy to start questioning what he really thinks of us.

But let us always remember: He is for us. And he deeply, deeply loves us. (Romans 8:31-32)

And nothing, not even the sting of death can separate us from his love. (Romans 8:38-39, John 11:25)

The only question is, “Do you believe this?” (John 11:26)
