Let not your hearts be troubled… lest you think you’re not good enough for God.. because of sin… because of whatever… you are good enough..more than good enough… just believe and accept him…
I’ve thought of it before.. but tonight it rang home true.. spending time with my son Ari’el…. I realized that it doesn’t matter… what he does or says…or fails at.. or is successful at…I love him so much my heart wants to explode…
I love him… and accept him… and do not weigh his sins against him… he is gold to me… he couldn’t…DO… anything ever to change that…
I now know that… God loves me the same way… even more so…” warts and all”… he don’t care about the warts… He don’t care about your shortcomings.. He cares about you… me and you…
It was Painful… because he’s so sensitive….” circumstances came up and I told him…. “that my father never told me he loved me”… Ari’el started crying… he was angry….
I have accepted Jesus… His pre-existence… his coming into his own creation… being rejected… but out of love for his people.. dying a sacrificial substitutionary death on the cross.. so that I could have eternal life… and that changed me….
So don’t worry about Petty things… don’t let anything or anyone bind you up… God loves you just like you are…The truth has set you free..and you are free indeed…
