The Heart of God

God loves me. He loves me just as I am, but enough to invest in changing me. It is that simple. Not only does He love me, but He likes me enough to desire to be with me and allows me to be with Him. I get to spend time with God. My life is not mundane or meaningless.

I can give Him my cares because He cares for me. I don't have to worry, because I can take my concerns to the throne of grace and lay them at His feet. And, He is involved. He is involved in the small details of my life. Actually, it isn't even 'my' life any more. I am no longer my own. I was bought with a price and belong to Him. The life I now live, I live in Christ.

He hears me. I no longer walk alone. He hears even the things that I do not speak. He knows me as I need to be known. No one knows me like He does. And, He accepts me, no rejection or hurdles in my being embraced by Him. I can fall into His arms knowing that He is there and cares, taking care of me.

He has changed me. I don't want to sin. I really don't. I do not desire to rebel or be independent from Him. I have no need to make a stand so that I am someone. I am someone because God has given me my dignity and sense of significance. He died and rose from the dead for me and gave me His Spirit that raised Christ from the grave. That same Spirit is raising me from the dead and lives in me. I am going to live eternally with God.
