Right now, things are hard for lots of people.
I just want to tell you, Don't give up!There is a God who is truly in love with you, and He cares for you.
I don't know your story, what you have been through, what you have done.
I do know that God loves you, all of you.
He loves you for who you are because you are His child.
You are God's beloved; God loves you with everlasting love.
You, Yes, you are important to God.
Believe it, for it is true.
The creator of everything knows and loves you
Jesus loves you so much He died for you.
Bishop Dale Bronner
that said something that stuck with me
"What did you do to ever make Jesus start loving you?
If you really think about it, there is nothing that you did to make Him start loving you.
So there is nothing you can do to make Him stop loving you. He loves you!
Can you imagine that you had a two-carat diamond ring wrapped in a platinum setting?
This ring you love it and let's say you were walking and your ring slips off your finger and falls in the mud.
Would you love this ring less because it has mud on it? Its value has not been diminished."
God loves you
Now Just like the ring
If you had a 100 dollar bill and you crumbled it in a ball, threw it on the floor, and stomp on it a lot of times.
Does that change its value?
No! I even go as far as what if you ripped the bill in half.
I spend money that was taped up.
The value of the bill doesn't change because of what it endured.
No matter what you've been through how far you think you have gone.
You have value and you are important.
Pastor Tye Tribbett did a demonstration with a 20 dollar bill.
You must know your value is not defined by what you go through or what you have done. You are valuable and like the ring and the 100 dollar bill would be still valuable to you despite what happened to it. You are valuable to God and there is nothing you can do to change your value.
There is a video of a church skit that speaks to my soul every time I see it. It shows no matter how far we go we can come back to our Father.
Let me pray with you:
Father, I pray for every person that reads this blog post.
I pray that they will believe that they are loved.
They are valuable and important.
I pray that you will bless them and the blessing will follow them everywhere they go.
I pray that they come closer to you and know that You, Father are always for them never against them.
Let them know Lord that you can make a way even when it seems like there is no way.
Lord thank you for keeping them, protecting them, and always being good. For you are a good Father.
I pray that they will see your goodness and be in the overflow.
Be with them Father as you always are
AMEN
This post is so beautiful. From the deeply resonate and comforting lesson by Bishop T.D Jakes to the intense music to the tear jerking video at the end. Thank you for the prayer and for your post.
