Even though you may not know God in the intimate relational way He
desires, He knows you intimately. He knows the very thoughts you think and the
actions you take before you take them, and even though your thoughts and actions
may be wrong...He is not upset by them. He knows all your ways... good and bad
and He is still OK with you. He even knows the number of hairs on your head.
You were made in His image to reflect His likeness, though you may not be a good
reflection of Him yet, He is not angry with you. You are His offspring, He knew
you before you were conceived. He chose you before the creation of the universe.
You were not a mistake, please get that...you as you are...is not a mistake! God
determined when and where you would be born. You are beautifully and wonderfully
made. He formed you in your mother's womb and brought you forth the day you were
born and He LOVES you.
God your loving Father has been misrepresented,
misunderstood, misdiagnosed, misquoted, misapplied, and lied about by people who
claim they know Him because of religious obligations and conformance by
complying to the religious do's and don'ts.. Religionists know about God in
their mind knower, but fail to realize they don't KNOW the heart of God in their
heart knower. He is not a distant Deity lurking in the shadows to catch you in
some wrong so He can whup you with a big anger stick as punishment to beat you
in line.
God is the essence of love and goodness. He doesn't love you
because you obey all the ordinances of religion, or because you attend what
people call “church” for a couple of hours on a Sunday. He loves you simply
because you are His child and He is your loving Father. You can't do anything to
make God love you any less neither can you do anything to make Him love you any
more. His love for you is not based on whether you love Him or not. His love for
you is entirely His doing and is unchangeable.
God sent Jesus because of
His great love for you so you could, if you so desire, have a relationship with
Him that would allow Him to relate to you intimately. God has dealt with the sin
factor through Jesus and sin is no longer an issue with Him, your sin past,
present and future is cast into the sea of His forgetfulness with a "No Fishing
Sign" erected. If you will turn to Him, live in His Grace as His loved child,
sin will fall from you as the rain falls from the sky and you will not have to
strive to overcome sin because His GRACE gives you the power to overcome it and
you will lovingly love the across your path people you meet whether they are
saint or sinner.
