BEYOND FIGURING OUT! 

Sometimes it isn’t easy to wrap our minds around the amazing truth of God’s love. When we hear that God is passionately in love with us, on our side, and will never leave us or forsake us, we can be tempted to look at it as if it’s all a fairytale. We may be tempted to question God, thinking, how could that possibly be? Why, I have failed God so much and have made so many mistakes that it feels like I have done it all wrong compared to God’s righteousness!

When it comes to God loving us and granting us his righteousness, it is paramount that we don’t try to work it up or completely understand it before letting go and receiving it because it is simply beyond our ability to comprehend fully! God wants us just to believe it and receive it!

Psalms 103:10-12 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. 11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; 12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

Psalm 86:4-8 Bring joy to your servant, Lord, for I put my trust in you. You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you. Hear my prayer, Lord; listen to my cry for mercy. When I am in distress, I call to you because you answer me. Among the gods, there is none like you, Lord; no deeds can compare with yours.  

God not only cares about you – you are everything he has ever wanted! Yes! You are his dream come true! Though this is all true, you cannot tap into its reality unless you believe. Believing is the key that unlocks the door of his reality for you! God is entirely trustworthy; therefore, you can confidently rest your whole existence on the fact that he is never going to leave you or forsake you! Why? Because God has said, “Never will I leave you and never will I forsake you.” Heb 13:5

Because of what God has done for you through Jesus Christ, you can come to God with complete confidence and shameless audacity! Wow!

Hebrews 4:16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Oh, my dear friend, you can, without fear, fully embrace the truth that you are everything God has ever wanted! Oh yes! You are so valuable that even his own Son was not spared in his effort to reconcile you back to himself again. Wow! How unspeakably beautiful!

I know these truths may seem out there and radical, but I promise you, God is not only all we have discussed, but he is more wonderful than you have ever dreamed! I have learned and am convinced that God is a God of extreme love and that he is…
