I was taking my son to ball practice this past week. Teenagers, they have a mouth, and their not afraid to use it! They can be very sarcastic, even to the point of hurtful barbs. We had the radio on tuned into K-love, my favorite, and God spoke to me thru a song. I don't know who sings it or even the title. But it goes something like this " God loves me for who I am, and not for who I will become". I am so thankful God loves me just like I am with all my faults.
God is the only one who loves me unconditionally. God never makes fun of me, God is never sarcastic, He never puts me down, He never makes me feel unworthy, never makes me feel useless, He never gives up on me, He never tells me I am unworthy of His love.
My God loves me unconditionally. He encourages me (Psalms 10:17), and He sends others to encourage me (Hebrews 3:13). He says in His Word I am the apple of his eye (Psalms 17:8, Zechariah 2:8 b), that He delights in me (Psalms 18:19). God made me and I am His (Psalms 100:3). He hears me when I cry out to Him (Psalms 34:4, Psalms 116:1), He rescues me (Romans 3:22-24), He bears my burdens (Psalms 68:19). He gave His Son for me (John 3:16), His love is better than life (Psalms 63:3).
Once again, My God reminds me it is better to trust in the Lord than to trust in man (Psalms 118:8). God will NEVER let me down, God CANNOT LIE!
1Corinthians 13:4-8a NIV Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
