I was thinking this morning about how cool God is. I was specifically thinking about how God’s love for us is so total even though there are things about each of us that aren’t so loveable. Even when we mess up, even when we’ve not done a good job with something, God values us and God loves us.
Here’s why I was thinking this. At some point over the summer, I made some changes to the way my computer handles email. Unfortunately, it seems I didn’t check all the right boxes on my Outlook “set-up form”. Because of this, I think a bunch of people haven’t been getting the mass emails that I send out every week. (No wonder people don’t seem to know what’s going on!) I feel terrible about this. Sure it was an honest mistake but something evil inside me won’t let it go. A voice inside me keeps asking, “How has this error harmed God’s ministry?” I could get down on myself and beat myself up over this, and there is a time in my life when I would have done just that. But that’s not what God wants.
You see, I know now that God loves me… even when I mess up. I’ve not done anything to deserve God’s love and there is nothing I can do that can cause God to stop loving me. God love you in just the same way. If you’d like to talk more about God’s unconditional love for you, please email me.
