Have
you ever been obsessed with anything? Don't lie. We
all have, we all know that feeling.
That
feeling of constantly thinking or even subconsciously thinking about someone,
maybe even something. The desire you have inside to want to learn more, talk
more, look more is the feeling of obsession.
Now
take that feeling and try to grasp the fact that, that is the way God feels
about YOU. HE IS SO OBSESSED WITH
YOU, and wants so desperately to hold you when you are hurting, to give you
a high five when you are happy and to be the one you come to in every situation.
Why?
Because he loves you that much. He loves you, a sinner that fails daily and
even hourly, yet he is still obsessed because His love is that strong, that
powerful and that forgiving!!
That is such a crazy
thought, my mind is blown! I don’t know about you, but that concept is a hard one to
grasp, not because I have any doubt but because I am so undeserving. It’s hard
for me someone who is a sinner to grasp the fact that someone so undeniably perfect
would want me, and would want to love me, even when I make mistakes! But God does want me, God loves me so much and
I have to remind myself daily to take that opportunity and run with it!!! Don’t
waste your time feeling like you aren’t good enough because with Christ on your
side you are worth more than anything in the world could buy! Talk to the Lord
and ask for forgiveness when you fail and spend the rest of your time doing
things that will further His kingdom J
This
reminds me of the story about the lost sheep that Jesus tells in Luke 15.
The
Story of the Lost Sheep
15 1-3 By this time a lot of
men and women of doubtful reputation were hanging around Jesus, listening
intently. The Pharisees and religion scholars were not pleased, not at all
pleased. They growled, “He takes in sinners and eats meals with them, treating
them like old friends.” Their grumbling triggered this story.
4-7 “Suppose one of you
had a hundred sheep and lost one. Wouldn’t you leave the ninety-nine in the
wilderness and go after the lost one until you found it? When found, you can be
sure you would put it across your shoulders, rejoicing, and when you got home
call in your friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Celebrate with me! I’ve found my
lost sheep!’ Count on it—there’s more joy in heaven over one sinner’s rescued
life than over ninety-nine good people in no need of rescue.
