OK. I get it now, God. As usual, it's not about ME. You love me because of who YOU are, not because of who I AM. You are Love itself. You can't help it. Even if I were the most despicable person on earth who had sinned the most times and hated You with the most hatred, even if I were Satan himself, You would still love me. Now because I am saved, You also have been enabled to love me in more ways than You could with an unbeliever. You have lavished me with blessings that I received with thanksgiving: You've given me Your Spirit, fruits, inheritance, etc etc. I will be with You in Heaven and experience Your love for eternity. You see Christ in me and therefore have a personal connection possible only because of His reconciliation work. I am participating with You as a partner in my sanctification so You have been intimately involved in my life as an invited guest instead of an unwanted intruder. But beyond that, the basic truth is: You ARE Love, so You DO love me - even me - and to disbelieve this is to disbelieve who You are. Forgive me for my insolence and ignorance. Help me now to begin to understand how You do want me to view myself. The truths You proclaim in Your Word about my calling, my place, my privileges, and my "rights" as a redeemed creation. I want to believe I am who You say I am.
