God loves me right where I am. As humans we are taught to excel in school, work for approval of others, work hard to get that promotion and work, work, work. By the time I hit 50 I was exhausted from all the people pleasing efforts.
Grace teaches me I do not have to earn God’s love. Like any child, we love them as much as humanly possible. God loves us even more. I don’t have to do anything special to be loved by God. I just need to remember to invite him in to my life every second I breathe.
I learned this when I was worried about my son and his drug use. Someone told me that God could love and be with him more than I could. It pissed me off at first to think someone could love my son more than I could. Then I found peace in this statement. I was grateful there is a power greater than me because I learned I was powerless. My son now has 4 years clean and sober of all mind altering drugs.
When my daughter lost her baby I was grateful for God’s power. I knew he could heal her and I could not. He did just that. Now she can talk about Leyna with loving memories.
Grace is for everyone. No matter what we have done God is not punishing us. He wants us to do his will so strongly he is always there with his hand out ready to take ours.
Today when I feel along I recognize faster that I have dropped his hand and I reach out immediately to hold his again.
Without God in my life I am alone. God gave me free will and I choose his will for me today. Go God.
