Quote Contemplations 

 

“The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.”  -  Victor Hugo*

 

            This is something I say quite often. That God loves us in spite of ourselves. Let’s face it, our lives don’t paint a pretty picture. Mankind is deeply flawed and in need of a major makeover. The beauty of God is that he knows all about us yet loves us in spite of ourselves. He knows we are but dust and to dust we shall return. 

            We must understand something very important. God knows who we are. He knows what we’ve thought, said, and done in our life. He knows the good and the bad; the beautiful and the ugly side of each one of us. In spite of all our foul-ups he loves us. He loves us in spite of our moral and/or ethical weaknesses. He may not agree or like what we are doing with our lives, but it has no impact on his feelings for us. 

            We can go to the Lord with any problem or potentially dire situation, and he will not judge us.  Instead he will show us a better way. He is always ready to forgive the contrite heart and will never hold any past iniquities against us. So remember and never forget that we are loved by our Creator passionately and eternally and NOTHING will ever change that!!

            Until next time, walk with the King & be a blessing.

In His Name & for His Glory,
