Zephaniah 3:17
17 The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.
I understand that God loves me, but does He like me? Every Christian starts with grace then quickly moves back to works. In grace we trust that God gives us His love, but with works, we have to earn it. Since I still sin, can I go back to God? Is turning from my sin a good idea if God is going to greet me with frowns and whips?
Look at Zephaniah 3:17. How is it possible that any God would treat His creation like that? God is with you, in your midst. He is mighty to save you. He will rejoice over you with gladness and quiet your excuses and your self-justification with His love. He will make the universe ring with His loud singing. Let each of those phrases land in your heart today. God loves you because He is so so good.
Prayer prompt: Lord, I want to turn from my sin and embrace the love you have for me.
