—Numbers 14:13-20
by: Trisha Gerstel.
I have given God absolutely no reason to love me. On the contrary, I have given Him every reason to turn His back on me. I have fallen short of His perfection, willfully gone outside of His plan, and ignored His commandments more times than I could even dream of counting. Even as a Christian, I struggle with these things every single day. And yet, God’s Word makes it clear that He still loves me. That is because, thankfully, God’s love is not about what I deserve—it is about who He is; and God is love (1 John 4:8).
