Never give up on love

Christmas morning, I woke up thinking about God’s message of love for me. And He reminded me that same love is offered for all.

What I realized last night is true for me is true for all: God is telling us we’re OK. We’re good enough. We were OK as children & we’re OK whatever age & way we are now. God invites us to feel the joy of being ourselves, loved & delighted in & accepted by Him, just as we are.

Sometimes that may cause some of us in our interactions to feel hurt for a moment or to disagree or feel slighted or misunderstood. That’s OK. No one of us is perfect. God loves each one of us, just as we are. He sent His Son to save each one of us.

And it occurs to me that God even loves the ones who don’t accept His gifts, including the most precious gift of His Son. He continues to invite each one to turn to Him. He never gives up. He never stops loving His children.

He calls me to do the same: never stop loving His children. 

Never give up on love.
