Written by Max Lucado, a contemporary pastor and author. This is an excerpt from his book “Grace for
the Moment for Moms.”
We worry. We worry about the IRS and the SAT and the PTA. We worry that we won’t have enough money. And when we have money, we worry that we won’t manage it well. We worry that the world will end before the parking meter expires. We worry what the dog thinks if he sees us step out of the shower. We worry that someday we’ll learn that fat-free yogurt was fattening. Honestly, now. Did God save you so you would fret? Would He teach you to walk just to watch you fall? Would He be nailed to the cross for your sins and then disregard your prayers? … you can’t take the love out of God and still have Him exist. For He was… and is… love. Probe deep within Him. Explore every corner. Search every angle. Love is all you find. Go to the beginning of every decision He has made, and you’ll find it. Go to the end of every story He has told, and you’ll see it. Love. No bitterness. No evil. No cruelty. Just love. Flawless love. Passionate love. Vast and pure love. He is love. God will love you. Always. No matter what.
You are a chosen people, royal priests, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession.[1 Peter 2:9]
The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. [Psalm 46:7]
