We all look in the mirror and make ourselves as presentable as we can for the world to see. But isn’t it wonderful that God doesn’t just see us, He knows us completely and He still loves us. He knows your name, where you live, what you do, He knows your family and friends, your weaknesses and strengths, your ups and downs, your whole life. He knows you and He loves you!
In today’s society people seem to hide behind a mask of some kind. They put on a big smile but inside they may be upset or hurting. They say they’re fine when they’re not, and it’s because they don’t want anyone to see who they really are, or that they’re struggling, in case they’re rejected, or thought less of. Maybe we all do it to some extent at different times, because we want people to think well of us.
We never need to feel that way with our Heavenly Father. His love for us is absolute, unconditional, unlimited and it’s forever. 1 John 3:1 NIV See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! … What an amazing gift His love is and scripture says we’ll never fully understand just how deep His love really is. But the more we do believe it, the easier it will be for us to trust Him with our loved ones, our finances, our future, our everything.
When God says He has good plans to bless and not to harm us He really means it because they are all coming out of His heart of love. When He says to cast our cares on Him it’s because He cares for us, and He knows He can deal with it all far better than we can.😊
So we can put a genuine smile on our faces as we go out into our week, secure in the wonderful knowledge that God really does love us, He’s for us and not against us and He is working His plans out in our lives, to give us a hope and a future, as we put our trust in Him.
Have a blessed week.😊
