"You are loved by God from before time began." I'm not sure where I came across that little quote but I wrote it down in my journal & just came across it again. I thought it was worth sharing, b/c I don't know about you...but I forget that sometimes. My mind goes so fast & of course satan loves to throw up all my mistakes, past & present, & I start to think, "I'm not very lovable or even like able." But my God is so good & so faithful & He certainly doesn't want me to think that way. Yes, He wants me aware of what I'm doing, doesn't want me to sin, but even when I do, He offers His forgiveness & He throws those sins in the sea of forgetfulness. He doesn't bring them back up to me, in fact this is what He says in 2Cor 12:9- He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness," He knows my weak spots & He gives me His strength to get me through!!! I'm thankful for that!!! I'm thankful for Him!! I pray that in your weakness you would know this too & take comfort in His word & in Him. That we would all know that Gods standard & viewpoint about us is the most important viewpoint & standard there is!! So as you go through out your day today remember Gods great truths about you: you are loved--you are forgiven--you are chosen/hand picked by God!! I pray these truths keep your eyes fixed on Him & your head held high!! Matthew 25:34- Then the King will say to those on his right, "Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepare for you since the creation of the world."
