Lord, Your amazing unconditional love amazes me. Even though sometimes I don’t follow Your ways and do stupid stuff, Your love toward me never changes. I’m left speechless. Your love is genuine and sincere, far greater than any human can show. Most times when I choose not to run my choice by You first, You say, “okay, go right ahead. You’ll talk to me later.” and allow me to suffer the consequences of my impulsiveness. And that’s okay too, since ultimately, these lessons teach me to walk closer with You and pay attention to obedience. As only You can, You use these disciplines to develop more of Your character in me. I’ll never deny that discipline may be painful at times, but You’re God, and You work all things for my good, even my bad decisions. Because I’m Your child, I don’t live in fear of You rejecting me every time I fail, discarding me as a hopeless cause, ready to rain down Your wrath on me. Jesus already took that on the cross on my behalf. And because You don’t just love, You are Love, I can hold fast to the promise of 1 John 4:18. “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear.”
We praise You, Lord Jesus, for Your kindness and mercy, Your unconditional love that makes life worth living. Amen.
