Hey Followers!
He made YOU! We have trouble believing this on a daily basis because we compare our abilities to others, but it is true. He sees the hard work we put in all aspects of our lives and it gives Him incredible joy. He allows us to bring happiness into the lives of those around us by just being ourselves. We have gone through so much, yet we continue to move on and laugh at the days ahead.
When deciding what our appearance should be, He knew right away. He made us better looking than any artwork, by any artist, dead or alive. He loves the way our eyes sparkle when we smile, how our laughter can fill any room on any day, and how our hair is untamable, just like our spirits. It pains Him to hear the things we say about HIs masterpiece. We stand in front of that mirror nitpicking our body which was flawlessly created. Those awful things we say about ourselves couldn’t be further from the truth. His heart aches when we pray for those things to go away that He loves about us. He has made us perfect! Everything we hate, He gave us, knowing it would make us unique.
We have let the enemy cloud our thoughts. We’ve been deceived by believing the awful things he says in our ears. He tells us to be shameful of our insecurities. Even more, he says our sin is so great, so vast, and so frequent that God will never fully love us. God wishes we could see the beauty we hold. His kingdom on Earth and in Heaven would not be the same without our souls. He sent His Son, who was so perfect and blameless, to secure our freedom. He went through hell and back to restore us as treasured children of God. Yet, we still cheapen our value. We let people us for their own gain because we fear loneliness.
Jesus is the reason we get to even have a relationship with God. I can’t believe I take that for granted. Some days I almost forget. He has made so many sacrifices for me. He loves me even though I don’t deserve to be loved, and there is no one that can love like Him. The words He has said to me are like no other. The promises He has made me are unbreakable. I can never thank Him enough for that.
I apologize for talking at Him most of the time. For constantly asking Him for things and only coming to Him when it is convenient for myself. I realized recently I need Him, like my father here on Earth, to be there for me in more ways than just giving me stuff. I realized that relationships I strive to have with people on Earth, I need to first have with Him.
He is perfect in every way. Sometimes I feel myself slipping away, and I just want to tell Him that I am going to work harder. Words can’t describe how great it will be to be with Him in Heaven. He already knows that though, because He is even more excited than we are. Here we are being selfish and not sharing the good news with other people because ___ (insert excuse). We forget that if we are lacking motivation He will give it to us.
He doesn’t ask us to be perfect, He just ask we live a life with Him. Please know that His love is so full of goodness that no sin we’ve ever encountered is too great. Even if we find ourselves in the lowest of lows, He will always pursue us. When we feel unloved or lost, let Him know. When we pray, He will run to us no matter the distance. He will always find you because He loves you. He has always loved us, He will always love us, and He will never stop loving us.
