Sometimes I’m tempted to think God loves me because I so desperately need to be loved, but that’s not the case. God’s love is not based on what we do, either good or bad; or what we need. It is not about us; it’s about Him. He loves us because of who He is, because that is the kind of God He is!

“Since we’ve compiled this long and sorry record as sinners and proved that we are utterly incapable of living the glorious lives God wills for us, God did it for us….He got us out of the mess we’re in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ.”

— Romans 3:23-25 (MSG)

Thank you, Lord, for doing for us what we couldn’t do for ourselves. Amen.
