Romans 12:3Paul tells us: “I’m speaking to you out of deep gratitude for all that God has given me, and especially as I have responsibilities in relation to you. Living then, as every one of you does, in pure grace, it’s important that you not misinterpret yourselves as people who are bringing this goodness to God. No, God brings it all to you. The only accurate way to understand ourselves is by what God is and by what he does for us, not by what we are and what we do for him.”

We are loved so unconditionally and given such an important gift…Jesus. You can be young, old, female, male, red, yellow, black, white, frail, ill, healthy, educated, uneducated, rich, poor….we have ALL been blessed with God’s grace and forgiveness. Jesus died on the cross for EACH of us, no exceptions. We are forgiven, renewed, redeemed, given grace and loved freely.  WOW!

Feel His warmth and love surround your heart OR fret and worry and swirl in a pit of turmoil. He has chosen YOU! What a gift! I am loved for me, just as I am. There is beauty in the words of that old hymn, JUST AS I AM. There is nothing better than God’s gift to us, His Son.

Feel the love. It is given to you, just as you are.
