Let’s now take some time to apply these Bible verses about God’s love to our lives.

Applications of These Bible Verses About God’s Love

If you want to become more attuned to God’s love, I invite you to spend some time responding to his pursuit.  Here are some practical suggestions.

1. Spend time in God’s Word.

When you don’t feel God’s love, open your Bible and search for Scripture about God’s love for you.  Write these verses in your journal.  Post them in your home.  Speak them out loud.  Memorize them.  God’s Word renews our minds.

This is the most practical way to feel God’s love.

2. Spend time in silence and solitude.

We also experience God’s love by spending time in silence and solitude with him.

During this time, we talk to him in prayer.  We read his Word and worship him in song.  This is a time for resting in his presence and reminding ourselves that he loves us, even when we do not feel his love.

I invite you to join me here for 11 ways to connect with God.

3. Ask God to help you become more aware of his presence and his love.

God pursues you with goodness and mercy.  God is literally chasing you down with loving gifts in his hands.  Ask him to help you become more aware of his pursuit.  This is a prayer he will answer.

4. Quiet yourself and listen for the still small voice of Truth within you.

God most often speaks to us through the words of the Bible.  But he can also speak through gentle impressions from the Holy Spirit.

These are warm, life-giving thoughts that align with his Word.  More often than not, when we ask God to speak to us, the impression will be the same, “I love you.”

We’re not making this up.  This is God’s gentle voice.

5. Cling to the promise that nothing can take God’s love away from you.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? (Romans 8:35).

God’s love for us is unconditional.  It can never be taken away from us.

Cling to this truth when you don’t feel God’s love.

6. Look to the cross.
