I don't know about you, but it's easy for me to forget that God Loves me. It's because I start focusing on questioning why He loves me and it's all down hill from there. Why would He? Disobedience, ungodly use of His gift of time, ingratitude, self-centeredness...
And I re-read:
“Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails...” (1 Corinthians 13--NASB).
It is how God Loves us. His Love for me. His Love for you, for this whole broken world does not hinge on our goodness, or gratitude, or any such thing; rather His Love for us binds because we exist.
