Even on our worst day

Even on our worst day

I have loved you with an everlasting love, and I have drawn you with
unfailing kindness. – Jeremiah  31:3
Do you ever feel like you don’t deserve God’s love? Yeah, I know that feeling.
 Some days, no matter how much I long for His love, I just can’t bring
myself to believe I deserve  it. It’s usually days where I knew what I
should have done but didn’t do it, or I knew what I  shouldn’t have
done but did it anyway.
 I’m guessing you’ve had those days too. On those days where I feel
like a failure, it’s hard to  accept the truth that God loves me. In
fact, on those days I don’t even like myself. Yet God’s word  insists
that even when I was a sinner, Jesus demonstrated His love for me by
dying for me.
 In Jeremiah 31:3 it says that even in the wilderness, the Lord says,
“I have loved you with an  everlasting love, and I have drawn you with
unfailing kindness.”
As hard as it is to believe it, even on our worst day, God still loves
us. There’s no escaping His  love. You might not feel lovable or act
lovable, but still nothing can separate you from Christ’s  love.
 Isn’t that an encouraging truth to abide in today? Let it settle in
your heart, and let it change  how you live. You are deeply
loved—still, and forever.
