Unconditional love?
Love. love. love? What is love? How is it possible? How could anyone love me?
This summer I've struggled with these questions. I've struggled with the fact that people tell me that they love me...because I don't love myself... My youth pastor says " I love you" and I know it's true, but can't accept it. My best friend says she loves me....and I know it's true..but I can't accept it. To know that these amazing people love me for who I AM is not possible in my mind, and to further know that God loves me a million time more...is IMPOSSIBLE, I can't wrap my mind around, I don't understand it...it can't be true...yet it is.
I am brought to tears thinking about the fact that God gets a strange feeling when he sees me, like we would get when we see someone we like, have a crush on, love etc.. I can't wrap my brain around the fact that ANYONE, let alone GOD, would love ME!!! I've done so much crap, and I've screwed up so much, and I'm ME...ME....how could anyone love Me??
Yet I know it's true....Jesus Freaking died on the flipping cross for me....for me... for me....
"Jesus loves me this I know, for the bible tells me so"
FOR HE TELLS ME SO.
FOR MY FRIENDS TELL ME SO.
FOR MY HEART TELLS ME SO.
I don't know about you, friends, but I don't know what the HELL I am doing in this world, I dont' know where I belong, I don't know where to step next...but I am realizing one thing. God loves me, and my friends love me and I love them UNCONDITIONALLY...that is what I know and that is what keeps me going. You can't love someone or accept their love without first accepting yourself and loving yourself...that is hard.
A good friend of mine said it best, "I've said things to myself that I would NEVER say to anyone else, because it is too horrible..." Friends, don't let the devil tell you that you aren't worth anything, that no one loves you, that you can't be loved, that you've done too much, because it's not true.
JESUS FREAKING LOVES YOU THIS I KNOW FOR HE TOLD ME SO!
