I want to ask you a tough question: Have you ever felt as though God didn’t like you? Or that He was mad at you for something you did? First John 4:8 nkjv says, God is love. It’s His nature. It’s what He is. God doesn’t stop loving you when you make mistakes. He loves you. Period. Here’s how I illustrate that fact: I have brown hair. It’s part of my genetic makeup. I can’t change it. I also have three daughters who sometimes do things I don’t approve of. I can’t for the life of me figure out why or where they get some of their ideas. If I were to stop loving my children for making mistakes, it would be as if I said, “Because my children did something wrong, my hair is no longer brown.” But I can’t do that. Why? Because my brown hair is part of who I am. And who I am doesn’t change when my children do something wrong. I’m still Lindsay, my hair is still brown, and I still love my kids. God’s nature-His eternal, unconditional love-doesn’t change when you sin or miss the mark. He doesn’t approve of what you did, but He is still God, He is still love, and He still loves you! |
