Written by Lisa Bevere, a contemporary minister, author, and speaker.
God, who is Truth, cannot lie. He is wild about you! As daughters and sons of our Lord, we are under His rule, and His rule is love. One way we can honor His lordship is by choosing to accept how He feels about us. His love for us is not subject to how we feel about ourselves, no matter what we’ve done or how tempted we are to dwell on the past. His love is selfless. He is love. His love is independent of how we look, feel or act. We might as well surrender to this love that is beyond our comprehension. This revelation — that God, who is love, loves us — is exciting. If we are bored with the idea that God loves us, it could be because we’ve heard it but never experienced it. This realization that He constantly thinks of us is thrilling and should awaken a fresh enthusiasm in every aspect of our walk with the Father. He means what He has said about us. His heart is set on us, and nothing we do or say can remove His seal of love from us. In Christ, His love is forever settled. It is now time for us to settle it for ourselves.
He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sinsinto the depths of the sea. [Micah 7:19]
