Prayer

Jesus invited us to know the Father's love intimately, saying in John 14:21, 'Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.'

Father, I confess that I often doubt Your love for me—I feel it has to be earned, or that I've wandered too far. But Your Word tells me You loved me before I loved You, that You rejoiced over me before I ever believed. Help me stop measuring Your love by my circumstances or my failures. Give me eyes to see Christ on the cross as proof of what You think of me. I surrender my need to perform for Your affection. Thank You that I am loved as I am, right now. In Jesus' name, Amen.
