For you today..

If today you can’t see Him past the messy house and bills and long list of must do’s…Can I tell you something?  Can I look into your eyes and tell you what I heard for you…..

He loves you.  He loves you when you don’t love yourself.  When you yelled at the kids for the umpteenth time before the kitchen was even cleaned from breakfast…HE loved you…and HE loves them too…even though sometimes they don’t listen to you.

When your spouse and you may have been a wee bit more than annoyed with each other… He loves you and He loves your spouse too…more then you can.

When you conquered your day and everything on your list done… with smiling kids and proud spouse and your world seems perfect…He still needed to pay your price and thought you worthy enough to do it.

When you sat for two moments of silence and you thought you would criticize  everything you did today and came to the conclusion that you were hopeless… He had every bit of hope for you.

So if inside each moment  you are loved… better yet Loved… and if in every hopeless moment He has Hope for you….don’t swallow the lie.

Those songs they sing on Sunday where you are a wretch….unworthy… sinful….They were written by men…and I am telling you right now;

They are wrong. AND….they don’t sing songs like that about you  in Heaven…. they only sing about how Holy He is forever…

So if He is Holy and Just and Right forever…. and He thinks you are worthy enough to die for….. Not a wretch but the most lovable thing He has ever created….

So today…. forgive yourself because you have been forgiven…So pick your head up

If you want to Glorify Him….

Walk like the ransomed one…not the slave.

You are raising kings and queens because you are royalty.

It has been done “once and for all time”
