We use makeup to cover up our blemishes, heels to accentuate our legs, fashionable clothes to reflect our sense of style... There are laundry lists of tweaks that we endure just to be perceived favorably by others. We just want to be loved.
Yet there is One who sees us when we first awake in the morning. He knows how our morning breath smells and sees the crust in our eyes. He watches us pop our pimples and brush our teeth. He sees the cover-ups we employ and knows every imperfection by heart.
On top of that, He sees every shortcoming of our insides as well. He knows every error of our heart. He hears each sinful thought.
Still, His love remains the same. He loves us in spite of our sins. In fact, He sees the covering blood of His Son Jesus more than He recognizes our sin.
Our Heavenly Father doesn't care that we are imperfect beings. He just cares for us.
No cover-ups needed. No special tweaks to apply.
All He asks for is a heart that's turned toward Him, and He will shower us with His affections. He just wants to be loved.
Just like us.
Verse of the Day: The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Jeremiah 31:3
