Here is a fresh year. A fresh chance to get it right? Or perhaps a fresh chance to extend love and grace even to ourselves. To embrace that the journey has been for us. That the road was just as it needed to be and every lesson was required to walk us closer to Jesus. Closer to resembling Him. That there is nothing to fix and we are exactly where and how we should be.
The one who created us and walks beside us, loves us. We have nothing to prove. He isn’t waiting for us to get it right to love us. Bless us. Accept us. His love doesn’t have conditions. He will leave the ninety nine for us. So if we are in a rough or stuck place, we can stand tall knowing He loves us too much to leave us there and wait expectantly for a way out. Look for the door to walk through. In the kingdom there is no shame or guilt required. There is a loving Father running to welcome us home.
Perhaps the biggest gift of the new year would be to live in His lavish love. That what we have to “get right” is simply letting Him love us and live like we believe it. Focus on Him and not what our neighbor has or what they are doing or how they are living.
He loves us with mistakes, mess ups, and flaws. He wants what is best for us & believes in us. He is for us, not against us.
He’s so trustworthy and will send others across our path to guide us if we are open. He knows us, all of us, our thoughts and feelings and unhealthy addictions. He knows we need Him. It’s a gift to Him when we acknowledge our dependence on Him and walk in the light of His love.
Let’s Be Loved. Let’s give up focusing on getting it right and fixing our lives and soak in love. Every cell of our body needs it, craves it, and lives for it. Let’s live loved. Accept His love. Being loved is all that is required. ❤️
