God Loves you

Blog: assembling.blogspot.com

God loves you...

I have a message for all brothers and sisters in Christ...
  • To those who did not want to paste a fake smile on your face and act like everything is fine... God loves you!
  • To those who did not sign up to help in the new "ministry program" even though you felt pressured and made to feel less spiritual... God loves you!
  • To those who did not feel like sitting through another mini-concert and lecture that did not apply to you... God loves you!
  • To those who struggle with sins that are not the kinds of sins other believers accept... God loves you!
  • To those who have been called uncommitted because they do not attend every Sunday morning, Sunday evening, Wednesday evening, and special event... God loves you!
  • To those who have struggled with their relationship with God and have been instructed that the answer is to get more involved with programs... God loves you!
  • To those whose children do not memorize all their Bible verses or cannot find every book of the Bible within 2.7 seconds... God loves you!
  • To those who do not work in the nursery, even after being guilted and given dirty looks... God loves you!
  • To those who choose not to bow your head and close your eyes... God loves you!
  • To those who feel they can never be good enough, can never do enough, can never look good enough, can never say the right things... God loves you!
  • To those who have had their questions, struggles, and pains all too easily brushed aside or fixed... God loves you!
  • To those who can't live up to the obligations and expectations that others have placed on them... God loves you!

Can you imagine living in that kind of love every day, instead of the guilt and shame which we usually allow others and ourselves to subject us to?

Can you imagine offering that kind of love to everyone, instead of the conditional approval that we usually offer people?

God loves you.
