Have you ever felt the weight of not being enough? That whisper in your soul suggesting God couldn't possibly love someone like you? If you're carrying those invisible burdens of shame and inadequacy.
Romans 5:8 reveals how God shows His love while we're still in our mess. The profound reality is that Jesus loves you right now—not as you wish you were or hope to become.
This isn't about religious performance or earning divine favor. It's about understanding that God's love precedes our perfection.
Through the powerful parable of the prodigal son, we see how the father's extravagant welcome mirrors God's response to our running to Him. No lectures or probation periods—just pure celebration.
When feelings of unworthiness surface (and they will), remember: feelings are real but not always true. God's love doesn't fluctuate with your emotions; it's anchored in His unchanging character. Perhaps the most stunning truth? Jesus didn't go to the cross because you were perfect; He went because you are precious. He simply didn't want heaven without you.
Whether you're tired, uncertain, or just need a reminder that you're seen and loved, these five minutes will lift your spirit.
God's love isn't a reward for the worthy—it's a gift for the willing.
Take this encouragement with you today, and when doubt creeps in, remember: Jesus sees you, loves you, and will never let you go.
