Something to think about
Someone just told me God is nuts about me. What a lovely thought.
Well, I’m nuts about someone, too. And it hurts that they don’t care about me as much as I care about them. (It’s only one person but using the plural “they” hides a lot of details … )
Which got me thinking. Well, a lot of times, I go about my life behaving like He doesn’t exist. Don’t talk to Him, don’t spend time with Him … only go to Him when I mess things up. And when He graciously rescues me, I turn around and wilfully ignore Him again.
And I wonder, how long is this going to go on? As in, how can He continue to love me unconditionally when I keep hurting and disappointing Him again and again?
How, indeed.
Well, the same person who told me God is nuts about me also said “ofcourse He cares! He neva stopped.”
She also told me this:
“but He’s also gracious & faithful & His love endures forever.”
His love endures forever.
He showed it when He came down to earth as man and died for me. Died for you, too. Died for all of us.
And if it hurts me that the person I care for … blah blah (I won’t repeat it, just scroll back to the top of this page and read it again if you want) … then how much more it must hurt Him that I ignore Him most of the time.
And while I have considered giving up on this person … well, guess what?
God is not going to give up on me.
In fact, He’s nuts about me.
I should have that written somewhere to remind myself.
The Creator of everything, He who came to earth to die for me … why, He’s nuts about me.
He’s nuts about you, too.
In fact, He’s nuts about each and everyone of us.

Personal note to the one who told me God is nuts about me - no, it’s not who you think it is.
