He loves you.

Why can it be so hard for us to love ourselves in a good just way?

I mean all it takes is people to not try for us, to give up on you after everything you have done for them. For someone to not even give you a chance. And our confidence is shattered and we look at ourselves thinking, what is wrong with me?

But that is so silly, why do we think that way when the maker of the starts loves US! Yes, God, the God of love, mercy, compassion, power... everything we keep looking and searching for is staring us in the face, He longs to have a relationship with us just as we long to have that relationship, to have that love!

He wants that relationship so much that He sent His son Jesus Christ to walk among us then die on the cross for us, so that His son Jesus, an innocent man, whom has never sinned, could take our sins for us, so that Jesus could be the way, the bridge for us to reach God, to have a relationship with Him. (Jesus then came back to life)

He is holding out His hand to you, and all you gotta do is take it. He will forgive you for the wrong you have done, He wants you to know that He loves you so much, and He is desperately waiting for you to grab His hand and love Him to.

He doesn’t care about your skin colour, hair colour, culture, weight, height, abilities, disabilities, friends or no friends, orphan or family member... what He cares about is your heart, He can read your heart, you may be smiling at someone on the outside yet wanting to hurt them on the inside, He sees that, sorry but you can’t hide from Him, and in saying that, if you are honest and truly want to be with God and have that relationship and follow Him, then He will have you, He will forgive you.

Why? Because He loves you, I know that life is unfair at times, and sometimes you will think, He doesn’t love me, look at what He has put me through! This may be hard to believe but sometimes He puts us through these things because He loves us and wants only the best for us, He may be putting you through something so that you may come out of it a stronger and better person, lessons that God teaches us you can’t learn at school.

And don’t be thinking of earthly love when I say He loves you, no I mean real love, this love never stops and it can’t but taken from you, this love will never hurt you or make you fall, it will give you the hope and courage to carry on, to keep fighting, and most importantly to keep loving others. He fills us with so much love that if we keep it to ourselves we will blow up, so share that love around, it is never ending.

Try spending some time with God today, find some time and sit, you can take a bible with you or you can just pray to Him, God loves spending time with you, and don’t think it is a minute wasted because it is minutes gained.
