The other day I asked God if He was frowning upon me and He said, "No, my heart is aching for you." I think sometimes I forget the most basic things about God; above all else, and beyond all restraint and logic, He is loving and good. He can't even help it. It's who He is. He loves, and He is good. His love has been troubling me for months. WHY does He love me? God, why do you love me?
Because I do.
And that's about the gist of it. He loves us cos He does. Not cos we are or aren't something. Not because we serve Him. Not because we praise Him. Nothing we do or don't do, nothing we think or don't think, no matter how we feel about Him, no matter what we do with our lives, no matter if we tell a million people about Him or if we tell none, no matter if we're Buddhist or Satanic, Jewish or Christian, no matter if we're from the slums of India or the royal line of David, no matter if we are disobedient unto death, or follow His every command and calling, He LOVES us. And for us to think otherwise is to think God can be unloving.
Sinead, you have no idea how encouraging this blog is to so many people! thank you so much for your simple obediance in following god and just living transparently, dancing so gracefully with your saviour. he knows your heart and will restore all things to himself. thank you for sharing this truth that can never be overstated. God is love! that is who he is. we can never fully get it, but we must never stop reflecting on it. "For the LORD your God will bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete." Deuteronomy 16:15 <3
