Devotionals
Psalm 18:19, "He brought me forth also into a large place; He was delivering me because He was pleased with me and delighted in me."
It’s easy to think that God is displeased with us when we do something wrong. And even worse, sometimes we think He remains displeased until we can make things right again. But there’s nothing that we can do to make God love us more or less. We can try to get our ducks in a row in hopes that this will please God, but it doesn’t work that way. He loves us regardless of what we do. His love isn’t based on conditions which say, "I would love you more if you would only do this or if you would stop doing that." His love is the exact opposite. His love says, "I love you no matter what!"
However, the sin in our lives displeases God, and He will convict our hearts, not condemn, to cause awareness of our sins. And this conviction lets us know that we need to repent and turn our hearts back to our loving Father. See, it’s always His undying love for us that pulls us to Him regardless of where we’re at in our spiritual walk with Him. If we’re far away, then His love comes to get us. If we’re close to Him, then His love wants us to be even closer!
We serve a God who is passionate about His children. He delights in us no matter what and His love encourages us to become the best men and women in Christ as we live our lives on earth.
