God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…
A couple weeks ago after one of our services the pastor led
us to sing a song called “God is so Good.” Simple as it is, it’s a beautiful
song. Then we sang the verse, “God loves us so…” and it struck me. I don’t know
why I never thought of it before now, but God loves ME. He loves every part of
me! He loves the way my nose scrunches and my eyes disappear when I laugh, my
crooked toes, my strength, my love for puppies, my interest in design, and my
scars. But He doesn’t just love me
because of my good. I can try all I want and the best parts of me are still
like the stench of old rags. What amazes me is that God sees my rebellion, my
bad habits, and my heart, but loves me right
there! He is so patient. So kind. He is the truest picture of humility. He is
the highest standard for living. HE IS. Oh, how wonderful the thought that
Jesus loves me!
I guess, what I'm trying to say is this. we do nothing to deserve Christ, or anything that He gives... including His love.
We owe our all to Him.
