He loves you

I never cease to marvel at the wondrous love of God.
He loves us so much—so immeasurably.
Do we dare to think we deserve his love?
Do we dare to think we’re entitled?
Do we dare to think we’re worthy?
No, we don’t; and that’s why it’s so great.
Because…

He loves, in spite of us.
He loves, because of us.
He loves the worst in us.
He loves the possibilities in us.
He loves us.

He died for us and rose from the dead;
Because, he loves every one of us,
And that includes every single quirky part of us.
God is love, and He loves us.
Yes, He does with all of his heart—forever and ever.
Amen.

I love writing and have enjoyed journaling all my life. I’ve been writing articles for Jewels Magazine over the last year, and love sharing about the Lord and encouraging others in our faith. I’m a published author of a children’s book:”Help,Lord! I Need A Bandage On My Heart.” I’m almost ready to publish my second book in the “Help Lord” series in a few months. In 2009 I received a diploma from LongRidge Writers Group, and I received an Honorable Mention Certificate in the Writer’s Digest 76th Annual Writing Competition. I feel very priviledged to have this opportunity to write for Jewels Magazine.
