“GOD LOVES YOU regardless of how well you are performing. Sometimes you feel uneasy, wondering if you are doing enough to be worthy of GOD’S Love. No matter how exemplary your behavior, the answer to that question will always be no. Your performance and GOD’S Love are totally different issues, which you need to sort out. The LORD loves you with an everlasting Love that flows out from eternity without limits or conditions. The LORD have clothed you in HIS robe of righteousness, and this is an eternal transaction: Nothing and no one can reverse it. Therefore, your accomplishment as a Christian has no bearing on GOD’S Love for you. Even your ability to assess how well you are doing on a given day is flawed. Your limited human perspective and the condition of your body, with its mercurial variations, distort your evaluations. Bring your performance anxiety to The LORD, and receive in its place HIS unfailing Love. Try to stay conscious of GOD’S loving Presence with you in all that you do, and HE will direct your steps.”
Scripture
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.” JEREMIAH 31 : 3
I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. ISAIAH 61 : 10
Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love. PSALM 31 : 16
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men, PSALM 107 : 8
Personal Note:
The greatest “earthly” love I experienced is that of child > parent growing up, love of my wife and parent > child for my own children. While this love feels infinite it pales in comparison to the Love that GOD has for us. Just as I’ll always love my children no matter what happens GOD loves us even greater and more infinitely than we can love. This is very hard to comprehend.
Prayer
Prayer: Lord thank you that your love is completely independent of how well or not so well I perform. Thank you for your love without limits or conditions. Help me to love others as you love me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
