Sweet friends,
Do you ever feel like you’re not good enough? That you somehow lack God’s favor and don’t deserve the love He has to offer?
If so, I can relate. Sometimes we may feel like we are not obedient enough or deserving enough for Him to truly love us. But that’s simply not true. God’s love doesn’t come with strings attached.
Did you know that before Jesus started his ministry God was already pleased with him? In Matthew 3:17, God’s voice from Heaven proclaims, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”
We can get wrapped up in the trying and the earning when it comes to being loved by God, but that’s just not how His love works.
He loves us because we are His. And as we get to know Him and aspire to be more like Him, we will naturally become His hands and feet, but we are already enough before any of this happens.
The only space between me and God is the space I’ve created. What about you?
I want to start trusting the word of God more and for my heart to know that our Father truly loves me without conditions. Even when we feel abandoned, alone and unloved, God is there.
So this minute and this hour and this day, going forward, I am going to try to remind myself that God loves me, He is with me, and I am worthy because I am His daughter.
Next time you don’t feel deserving, remember you are His as well, you matter and you are loved—no strings attached and no more or less than the rest of us.
Let’s accept what God says and truly believe that we are enough. Because we are. And we always have been.
