Just because you’re you.

In my book, I speak of a time in my life when I was very low and depressed. Amazingly, it was the time when I learned the most about the unconditional love of our God. I was doing everything I thought I was supposed to be doing and seeing nothing. Sound familiar? I still remember the moment I looked up at God and shouted, “I’m not doing this stuff anymore!” And I didn’t for a long time. It may surprise you that he never once for a moment took his Spirit from me. He never once abandoned me or stopped loving me. I felt it keenly even to the lowest of low. I finally realized that God did not love me because of any of that “stuff”. Who asked me to do all that anyway? Not God for sure. He never requires performance. He just loves you because you are “You”. If you are caught up in that like I was and frustrated then just STOP IT! Jump into the ocean of God’s love and just float there awhile till you know nothing else but how much He loves you!
