“The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you” Jeremiah 31:3.
If you’re anything like me, you’re a total softie for sweet words.
I truly am wasted for loving words. If I love you or even like you, I’ll tell you so ten times a day. If I’m proud of you, I’ll tell you so. If you did great at something, I’m going to make sure you know it. (And I’ll probably brag on you to everybody else I know, too.)

And when people speak kind, loving words to me, they mean the world to me. Of course, they have to be backed up by actions–I’m not so naive that I’ll believe words that are clearly spoken only to manipulate–but kind, sweet, loving words grip my heart. Every time.
Yup. I love words of affirmation.
But I’ll bet you love words of affirmation too.
Think about the role that positive words have played in your life. Think about some of the sweet things people have said to you:
- Has anyone ever said anything that was precious to you, right when you needed it?
- Do you still cherish the memory of what they said?
- Do you remember how you felt when someone said sweet words to you–words that meant more than you could ever express?
That feeling you had when someone spoke kinds words to you is part of what it feels like to be loved.
No, really. Let me illustrate it again this way:
Think some about the people you love: your spouse, children, friends, family, church family, etc. Can you think of specific times when you have spoken encouraging words to them?
- Have you comforted them when they were sad?
- Have you complimented them when they look nice, or when they did something well?
- Have you told them they’re great, just because you’re overwhelmed with love for them?
If so, you did so because you loved them. You were reaching out with your words to love on someone else, and you used words of affirmation as your tool to show your love.
Words of affirmation are a huge way to convey love, affection, respect, esteem, honor, and everything else good.
That’s why God is into words of affirmation. He thinks you’re great, and He’s beside Himself finding new ways to tell you so.
God’s words of affirmation are all throughout the Bible. You can’t help but be affirmed by God when you read it. He says:
- “I have loved you with an everlasting love” (Jeremiah 31:3).
- “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine” (Isaiah 43:1).
- “Since you were precious in My sight, you have been honored, and I have loved you; therefore I will give men for you, and people for your life” (Isaiah 43:4).
- “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love” (John 15:9).
Daddy God’s words of affirmation go on, and on, and on. You could read them all day … all year … forever… and never come to the end of God’s ministry through words.
And even though God’s words of affirmation are found throughout the Bible, that’s not the only place they are found! Try this experiment:
Sit down in a quiet room by yourself. Shut the door. Focus your mind on God, and then ask Him this question:
Papa God, how much do you love me?”
I dare you to do it… because I guarantee that He will surprise you.
Your Papa God will tell you how much He loves you, and how much fun He has spending time with you, and how wonderful He thinks you are.
Sit back and soak in His amazing words. This is what it feels like to be loved: to be affirmed by precious, loving words from someone who adores you.
God adores you, so He can’t wait to tell you so. Will you let Him? Right now? After all, He’s just that into you.

Hello Jamie, scanning your posts and this one was unintentional. My eyes was just directed to this post thumbnail so I opened it. But before I saw it, I have asked God if He really loves me because I have a problem trusting that, or believing that with all of my heart, being and soul. I mean, He loves people, yes, others, yes, the world yes, but me? I mean really, personally? As I was reading the post, I have asked a series of questions again and I was amazed that I don’t know, it seemed those words written in your posts just stop me right there and answered me quickly, like every sentence as I am arguing this out with Him. Oh, Jamie. I hope I find Him the way I used to looked at Him, feel Him, and trust Him with all my heart as the child me did. Thanks, Jamie.
I’m so glad, Jay. Papa God loves you so much.
I just finished reading God’s words of affirmative and I am now fully convince that God really Loves me with all of his heart. thank you for this article it is a Blessing to my Soul.
May God continue to bless you and your family.
Aaron, thank you so much for letting me know. I’m thrilled beyond words that Holy Spirit helped you sense His love! He does indeed love you with a wild, unending, outrageous love.
Thank you for reading my blog! Have a wonderful day!
Hi,I just read “He’s that much into you..”,I’m so blessed by all ur posts.I hear Him speak but how do I actually get myself to believe it.I’ve prayed many times n asked God to help me receive His love for me.I’m really struggling in this area.Pls help.
God bless u!
Kind regards
This was perfect timing and reading for me, God is the ultimate affirmer
He sure is! So glad He used this post to encourage you! Thank you for reading. 🙂
I asked, this question a bit ago and didn’t get a “response”. Then I went to church today and a guy who ended up praying for me/us- pointed me out specifically and started declaring that God loves ME. that I am wanted by him and it honestly felt so amazing. Also might I add, that I’m still a teenager, so the whole public declaration felt really nice.
I was feeling so down and this really helped me. I have been single for years and the three relationships I have had in the past turned out to be men just experimenting with me. It is so wonderful to be reminded of how much God loves me. Thank you for saving me with this article tonight
thank you dear Jamie, yes it did really comfort me, & encourage me. i love Affirmations of the word. thank you for more. lots of love & God bless you.
Jamie, I’m learning so much about how God loves me. Me. Just me and who I am. And it’s so amazing and I thank you for sharing and pointing out the way for us! I did sit down quietly, and I asked Papa God, how much do you love me? I just felt this warm comforting feeling all around me like a blanket and I felt He said to my heart….My child, beyond the stars I love you! I’m wrecked, Jamie! Oh wow!!!
Hi Jamie, thank you for sharing Gods words of affirmation. This is really s blessing to me. I never considered words of affirmation as one of my love languages and didn’t realize how much I needed this. This melted my heart and encouraged my Spirit. God bless you and your ministry. Continue spreading the love of God and giving encouragement to His people!
I just stumbled onto your blog and God has been using it amazingly in my life speaking to my heart profusely. Thank you for being faithful to his calling on your life. I’ve been breaking down walls all over the place. And I just got the answer that my heart has been longing to hear. So God is now in the process of healing my heart which he has been doing all along but I didn’t realize exactly why and now I do. Thank you Jamie Many blessings to you and yours always Lisa
Thank you SO much Jamie. This is exactly what I need right now.
It took some courage to do this, to sit and think He might say something. But He did! We are in the middle of a huge storm and He told me He loves me like the wind, Wild and Strong.
Thank you Jamie for helping me experience the love of the Father and the passion of Jesus. How long I have kept them at arms length in my fear that they wouldn’t come through for me. But How they DO!!
Blessing your life and ministry to release more and more hungry hearts into the extravagant goodness of God.
Elizabeth, this is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing!
Love,
Jamie
Jamie, God and I agree that He thinks you are great, you are precious in His sight, that you are just wonderful, and He loves spending quiet moments with you. You are God’s workmanship, Jamie, !
