His divine power 
has given us everything required for life and godliness 
through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
2 Peter 1:3 CSB
Do you ever wrestle with the thought that you're not good enough for God?
I do.
The things I've done, the things I've thought about,  if He knows my heart, why would He love me?
Why would Jesus leave the 99 & come looking for me?
At least part of the answer is in this verse. 
His heart of love is for us because His heart is Love.
In Deuteronomy 7 there's a couple of verses where God tells the people why He loves them.
It's because He does.
God is love.
He loves us.
He's called us, chosen us, loves us because He loves us.
Loves you.
His love for us is not reliant on our performance, how good we are, whether we "measure up", do the "right" things.
He loves you because He loves you.
We visited a home last night where there is a new kitten. 
That kitten doesn't know what love is or understand it, has done nothing to deserve it, but is loved. 
Because someone chose it. And chose to love it.
God is Love 
His love for us doesn't depend on us, but on Him.
Rest in that today.

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith

Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
