Who do I think God is? He is love. I do believe this. But sometimes I get caught up thinking that I am not worthy. Not worth loving. I am certain that other people know Him and love Him, and He knows and loves them. But my self-esteem keeps me on the sidelines at times.
At times, I think of God as the Big Man On Campus, and I don’t have enough confidence to even hope to be noticed by Him. So I don’t approach. Or if I do get the courage, I fear I won’t be noticed or received or understood by Him.
But this isn’t true. THIS IS A LIE coming from the father of lies – Satan.
“See what a great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” And that is what we are!” 1 John 3:1
THAT is the truth! He loves me in a generous and extravagant be-in-my-family kind of way!
