All my life, all I ever wanted was to “feel” unconditionally loved. Because it was lacking I felt that deeply I was just unlovable, or that no one knew how to love me.
What a lie…
neglect, abuse, those things do that… they create a lens that we view the world with, or more importantly that we view God through…
what an ugly lie. The truth is… God has always loved me unconditionally.
I’m a lot of things, or rather, I have been. I lied, I was caught up in addiction (idolatry), I stole. I was awful. Even in that state, God LOVED ME! His heart was grieved for me, but He loved me. He loves me!
Returning to the Lord has been the sweetest most precious experience. Allowing the truth of His love to comfort me and wash over me has been the cleansing and renewing that He promised me. God is never slack, He is always available.
I had to reach the lowest parts of the pit, but even there His love was running after me.
Understanding that I am unconditionally loved by God has brought me crazy confidence. Like a little girl who lays her head on her Father’s lap, knowing He has everything under control and He only wants the very best for her. His heart is FOR. HER. and He delights in her love and she delights in His; unconditional love.
No More Shame
