As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. (John 15:9)

 

Write down a list of all the things that you think God feels about Jesus. Then close your eyes and imagine the same smile on Jesus’s face every time he thinks about you. Which is all the time. It can be hard to believe that this is the way Jesus and God feel about you. But it's true, not just when you had a good day and did all the things you think you were supposed to do. Every single day. Both of them feel this way about you always, every minute, for eternity. Trust them. Trust this.

 

Me: It's so tempting to try to be wonderful for you all the time.

God: "You don't have to try. You just are."

 

God: "Do you want to hear more about how wonderful you are and how much I love you?"

Me: (nodding) Yes.

God: "Done!” (then starts a long list)

 

“My Little Flower” (A poem God recited to me)

 

I send my sun on you so you can bloom and grow.

I send my rain on you so your roots can go deep and strong.

I send my bees so you can bear seeds.

I send my brush to paint you with beautiful colors.

I send my breeze to caress your cheek and fill your heart with joy.
