If the perfect God loves me I must be pretty awesome. That awesomeness is both proved by God's love and created by God's love. The world seems to always be demanding more of us, wanting us to "be more" and "do more" and "have more" in a never ending spiral of judgmental demands that we be successful by someone else's standard. Why did you give up the job that made more money? Why don't you have a better relationship with that person? Why don't you drive a better car, have a trendier wardrobe, live in a bigger house? Why don't you do more for the PTA, the church, the poor in the community? Why don't you meet my expectations and demands?
Yet the "church" gets rapped for being "too judgmental" all the time. Indeed members of churches are often guilty of that. But the Bible says, "Hey, no one is free from error or sin. No one actually ever "gets it together" in this life. So quit fussing on that and just believe me when I say, I created you by love for joy and with purpose. You get all that because you talk to Me, begin to know Me which is possible because my Son has already redeemed you. In other words, get over yourself and start opening your heart to Me, my beloved daughter, my precious son. I have loved you from the beginning of time and I will love you forever."
I can affirm with confidence and hope: GOD LOVES ME AND ALWAYS WILL.
1 John 4:16 We have known and have believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and those who remain in love remain in God and God remains in them.
