I pray you wake up feeling loved today

Relishing in the kind of love that Jesus gives

The meet you right where you are and give you a hug love

The instill in you hope, when you are running out of patience love

The peace that surpasses understanding love

The “I see the awesome in you” without having to prove yourself love 

The love that never changes, but over time changes you


 

He desires that you rest as His beloved

To “be” loved

He desires that He is enough

Because you were enough for Him to die, He purchased you with His life 

He desires to take the pieces of you that you believe are never good enough and mold them into the pieces that are tools for the kingdom

He desires you

Not the perfect, once you have everything together you; but the here-and-now, meet you in this moment you 


 

In a world where people are constantly vying for others affection, He simply wants you

To spend time with you

To cherish the ways in which Pappa made Your heart 

To not have a formula for everything, but a love that awakens your spirit to life

To love you for you…no strings attached


 

He doesn’t expect perfection

He adores our efforts to seek Him

He sees them all

And He longs for more “moments” to frame for this love story

The “remember that time we…”

The “look at how we have grown because of…”

 


 

I don’t know about you, but I love how Jesus loves me right where I am

I love how He loves the pieces of me that I struggle to love myself

I love how He reminds me that His love is kind, enduring, and tangible

I love how He is rooted in love, for God is love and Jesus is the image of the invisible God-the firstborn of all creation

I love how His love isn’t based on merit but on grace-no striving here, but abiding 


 

His love reaches for you

His love chases you

His love is in the very fibers of the air you breathe

His love woke you up today

So today, I pray you feel loved…because you are.
