Thought to share: I chose you. I wanted to be in a relationship with you. I knew all the messy details of your life and still I wanted to be with you. So stop trying to  impress ME. Quit trying to earn MY love. Don’t shrink in fear when you don’t get it right.  MY love for you is based upon ME and MY character – not on who you are or what you do. So rest in MY never changing love.

John 15:16 (NLT) You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name.

Romans 5:8 (NLT) But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

1John 4:19 (Msg) He loved us first.

Thought to share: I love you. Not because of what you do or how well you do it. Not for how well you perform or juggle life’s responsibilities. And I do not love you less because you don’t do enough or perform poorly. I love you exactly where you are, as you are. Nothing you do or don’t do can change MY love for you. Let this truth settle into your soul and sustain you. You are loved by ME eternally.

Romans 8:38-39 (NLT) And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 5:8 (NLT)  But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

Thought to share: As your mind turns to thoughts of love today, don’t forget to look at ME, your First Love. I have loved you from eternity and pursued you from conception. MY love for you is so complete and perfect that you cannot understand its depths. I have faithfully been by your side, every moment of your life. I have wept with you and celebrated with you. I continually shower you with kindness and give you MY goodness. In ME, you find love, because I AM your true, eternal Love.

Ephesians 3:18-19 (NLT) And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully.

Psalm 100:5 (NLT) For the LORD is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and His faithfulness continues to each generation.

Romans 5:8 (NLT) But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
