I may have said this before, but it's worth repeating. My God loves me. This is something that I've known in my head for a long time, but getting it from my head to my heart has been difficult. I can declare God's love for me till I'm blue in the face, but if I don't believe it in my heart then where am I? In the dark. Without hope.
Working on my 12 step where we are now on the lesson entitled HOPE. Principle 2 states, Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover.
I've struggled thru this for years now. Wanting to believe this, but not truly able to get my heart to believe it. This past weekend as I was attending a women's retreat God showed up and showed off. What I am learning is that God really does love me. It's becoming real for me. I do believe God exists. And I am truly beginning to believe that I matter to Him. It's a great place to be.
Found this verse: Micah 7:18 Who is a God like Thee, who pardons iniquity and passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of His possession? He does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in unchanging love.
