God Loves You Like You're the Only One
God loves you like you’re the only one.
Do you believe it?
________________________________________
Some days I do.
Other days… I forget.
I forget that I am loved by the One True God—the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, the Almighty God, Papa God, the Prince of Peace.
________________________________________
God loves you like you’re the only one.
________________________________________
When I repeat that statement in my mind—especially on the days I feel unloved or unworthy—it begins to shift my focus.
But the real question is…
👉 How do I remind myself of that truth?
________________________________________
The answer?
Discipline.
And a willingness to change my mindset.
________________________________________
It’s hard work.
It takes commitment to break habits that pull us away from truth.
________________________________________
Here’s what I did—maybe it will help you too.
I focused on developing a close, intimate relationship with God.
I needed to believe He loved me like I was the only one.
I needed to place Him first—just like I would in any important relationship.
________________________________________
God had to become my Best Friend.
The one I go to first.
The one I talk to about everything.
The one I speak to like He’s right there in the room with me.
________________________________________
And that meant something had to change.
________________________________________
The habit of calling a friend and talking endlessly about my problems… had to stop.
After years of that routine, I realized something:
👉 I was depending on people to fill something only God could fill.
________________________________________
So I made a shift.
Instead of picking up the phone…
👉 I went to God first.
________________________________________
“I needed to go to the throne and not the phone.”
________________________________________
That wasn’t easy.
It took effort.
It took practice.
There were plenty of times I had to stop myself and say:
👉 “No… I don’t need to call a friend right now. I need to talk to God first.”
________________________________________
Now, there is a place for friendships—absolutely.
But the priority had to change.
God needed to be first.
________________________________________
Because I needed Him to:
• fill the emptiness
• mend my brokenness
• replace the feeling of not being loved
With His never-ending love.
________________________________________
And something powerful happened when I made that shift.
The time I used to spend talking to others about my problems…
👉 became time spent with God.
________________________________________
And He met me there.
He poured love into me.
He filled the empty places.
He gave me joy when I couldn’t find it.
All because I gave Him my time.
________________________________________
So let me ask you…
How much time are you spending looking to others to solve your problems?
________________________________________
Here’s a simple challenge:
The next time you’re talking with a friend and notice yourself complaining…
👉 Start a timer.
See how much time you’re giving away.
That’s an “ouch and amen” moment.
________________________________________
This isn’t easy.
Breaking old habits never is.
But it’s worth it.
________________________________________
Because when you begin to go to God first…
👉 everything changes.
________________________________________
God loves you like you’re the only one.
Now it’s time to start living like you believe it.

Prayer
Father God, we love you and we know you love us. Help us feel your presence just like we do with our closest friends. Fill us with your love and joy. Help us know we are worthy of the love you pour out. Draw us closer to you so we can truly believe we are loved like the only one. Thank you, Papa God. Amen.
