For days I’ve battled a cold–a mountain of tissues sits next to me as evidence. At first it’s nice to slow down but then I begin to get restless.
I need to do something.
I want to do something.
Anything.
As I sit curled up on the couch, it seems God whispers to my heart…
“Your worth is not based on your ability to produce results. I would love you just the same even if you couldn’t do any of the things you do.”
I take in a deep breath, let out a sigh, let grace wrap around me like a warm blanket. I forget that truth when I’m in the middle of the hurry, the busy, the do-this and go-here.
I forget that I do those things not to earn love but because I’m already loved.
And you know what?
You are too.
Oh, yes, God delights in what you do.
But none of it is the reason He loves you.
If it all stopped today He would feel just the same about you tomorrow.
And forever.
And ever.
Amen.
