Dare I believe how deeply I am loved by God? How lavishly, how safely, how unflinchingly I am loved. How I am looked on with compassion and tenderness in the moments when I lose my temper; when I am smug and self righteous; when I think I have it all right; when I know I have it all wrong.
Dare I let You love all of me? The lonely and confused parts? The parts still keeping secrets? The parts hoping You will change them, and the parts fearing You will change them?
Dare I let You love me right now and not my potential?
Dare I build my identity on being loved? The most important thing about me today is that I am loved.
Dare I trust Love to be my teacher more than fear and guilt and effort and pain? More than resolve and self-help books and self medicating?
Dare I allow myself to be loved more than logic permits?
May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully.”
Ephesians 3:19a, NLT

Matthew 10:29-31 29Are not sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
God loves you in everything and through everything. If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, your future is assured. You do not have to gain God’s attention; you always had it.

We are memorizing those verses in church this month. Such a good reminder of God’s ridiculous love for us. Thank you for sharing.
