God's Endless Love!
"Behold what manner of love the Father
has bestowed on us, that we should be
called children of God!"
1 John 3: 1
A movie about the life of actress Marilyn Monroe
portrays her as emotionally starved, whose story
was filled with trauma, who craved
acceptance
but then received
only abuse and exploitation.
That’s the condition of so many people.
Everyone, even those who haven’t been
traumatized in life, want acceptance. We
want to be liked, loved, and be included.
If you feel undervalued today, ask God
to give
you a heart of friendship for someone else and
then to show you who it is. He will lead you to
someone to befriend, and it’s in helping others
that we ourselves find help.
Ask
God to reassure you of His loving presence.
He already accepted you. He sought you and
saved you through the blood of Jesus, and
longs to draw closer to you each day.
Live each day confident in the knowledge that
God has accepted you as His child, and let His
healing love bring fresh joy and reassurance
to your personality.
"God has made and keeps
a covenant of personal
commitment and love
to His people."
