Why?

Someone posed the question today... Why does God love us? Is it because He is 'using us' for His glory? Or  because He has to? Why does He love us? (And to add on to it all... are we worth it?)

Proceeding this conversation, the thought remained within my spirit... A song rose up within me until I found myself singing sweet melodies of all the ways He loves us. But when all was said and done, when all of my earthly lyrics had no vocabulary word to fill in the blanks.... He looked down to me and said "I love you because my image is with you. That's all I see!

    Thank you Lord for ceasing my inquisitive mind with truth! Your love doesn't focus on my sinful nature, nor overlook it.... You cleanse me :) I pray that I can continually please you.... not to earn your love, because You are Love but to let my life serve as a gift back to you :) My life for the Gospel!

Sincerely,
Your Beloved!
