Oh, How He Loves Us

     The other day on my way to work I had a revelation, I discovered how much I have neglected to remind myself how deeply I am loved. This may sound a little too blunt or honest, but it is true. Although I read the bible, devotionals, and other inspirational books, I neglect to remind myself each and everyday how much I am loved. I was listening to the radio and one my best friend's favorite songs came on. I typically just sing along with songs, but the spirit wanted me to experience something.  The spirit had me listen to the words, and soak in the truth it proclaimed. As I weeped on I26 turning onto Patton ave, a huge cloud of peace came over me. 

I am loved.
Its a powerful phrase.
It has multiple meanings and some are hard to understand or even to accept.
God created me uniquely and knows me better than anyone ever will.
He adores me in my struggles, my sin, my inadequacies, my weakness, my brokenness and my mess. 
He wants the best for me. 
My purpose has been made by him. 
His plan is bigger and better than I could imagine.
His timing is perfect and I shall trust in it.
I do not have to do anything to earn it.
His son paid my debt so I could live in freedom.
I do not have to perform, dress a particular way or rely on others opinions.

Friends, God loves you,
Only HIS opinion matters.
If I could only view ourselves as God see us,  pure and righteous.
He designed you with a unique purpose. Right where you are, He loves you. 




  Oh, how I am loved.
God, help me be reminded daily of your love that embraces me.
 Remind that I am your child.
continue to use the spirit to guide me, convict me, and transform me from the inside out. 
  I shall not conform to the pattern of this world. 
I desire to cling to only you for my purpose and identity.
 Your promises, faithfulness, gentleness and patience with me continue to amaze me.
Thank you Lord for your unfailing, unwavering, constant love.
