"You deserve God's love. God is not being nice to you by giving you something you don't deserve, he is being a Father to you and giving you exactly what he believes you do deserve. You deserve his love, all his love, and if it's possible, even more. He wants you to have his whole being and the fullness of his love.
You're his child, and to your heavenly Father, you deserve everything he desires to give you. Not because you've earned it, but because of the DNA of who you are. His beloved child. His treasured possession. His everything. You're worthy of it all, every last drop of love, you're worthy of it. It's yours. Bless your heavenly Father's heart and receive it freely and abundantly."
I love this quote by Mick Mooney.
Saying "we didn't earn it" and "we don't deserve it" are two totally different things.
Religion harps on the latter - saying, singing and implying in so many ways, that we are the unworthy, undeserving scum of the earth.
We are not. We are God's masterpieces, his beloved children.
We are not. We are God's masterpieces, his beloved children.
Our two children did not "earn" the clothes they are wearing, but we would deeply be hurt, if they kept telling us that they are "unworthy and don't deserve anything they have." Any loving parent knows that it does not make any sense. They do deserve everything we have for the simple reason that they are ours.
