Have You Ever Thought That Allah Stopped Loving You?

Dear Muslim readers,

Have you ever thought that you were unloved by Allah?
That Allah stopped loving you?

Maybe we all have experienced that at times. The thought that God was so far away. Maybe angry with us. Maybe given up on us. Why? Because. Because we know that we just haven’t measured up. . .

In our prayers, and in our piety, we haven’t measured up.
In our dedication, and in our deeds, we haven’t measured up.

We all simply fall short – incredibly short – of God’s glory:

Here are 2 critically important questions for you:

Does God’s love for us depend on what we do – our prayers, our fasting, our good deeds?

Or. . .does God’s love for us depend upon. . .God – His innate, perfect, unchangeable, loving character?

Here is a song by Michael W. Smith that expresses God’s perfect love for us even in our unworthiness and sin. Please listen to it and read the lyrics below as you listen.

NEVER BEEN UNLOVED
I have been unworthy
I have been unrighteous
And I have been unmerciful

I have been unreachable
I have been unteachable
I have been unwilling
And I’ve been undesirable

And sometimes I have been unwise
I’ve been undone by what I’m unsure of
But because of You
And all that You went through
I know that I have never been unloved

I have been unbroken
I have been unmended
I have been uneasy
And I’ve been unapprochable

I’ve been unemotional
I’ve been unexceptional
I’ve been undecided
And I have been unqualified

Unaware – I have been unfair
I’ve been unfit for blessings from above
But even I can see
The sacrifice You made for me
To show that I have never been unloved

It’s because of You
And all that You went through
I know that I have never been unloved

Today I know and believe this incredible truth: God. . .loves. . .me.

Not because of anything I do.

But because of Who He is.

How about you?

Have you ever felt that you were unloved by Allah?
That Allah stopped loving you?

If so, please read this verse. . .

. . .and think again.
