With God all things are possible

| As long as we think God's love is conditional, we will keep testing to earn it by attempting to prove that we are worth loving. When we make mistakes , then we feel we are no longer valuable and therefore do not deserve love. We suffer guilt. Shame, and condemnation of believing we are not lovable and should be rejected. We keep trying harder and harder to get out of the rut, until sometimes we are exhausted mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and even physically. We try to keep up a good front, but inside we are weary and often very afraid.
Once we believe God's love is base on Who He is and what Jesus has done, and not on what we do, the struggle is over. Now we can cancel our " performance ". And SERVE God because we know that He DOES LOVE us and we do not need to " get" Him to love us. We already know we have His love and that under NO condition will He ever stop loving us. We no longer have to live in fear of being rejected by Him because of our mistakes. When we do something wrong, all we need to do is repent and receive God's forgiveness and refuse the guilt that comes with sin, but is not longer applicable when sin is forgiven and removed. What sin? Is Song I share at my church services, when you ask God for forgiveness, he removed it and will,not bring it up again What sin? When you keep repeating the prayer to be forgiven for the same sin. It's as far away as the east is from the west, as Jesus was stretched out with His loving arms on the cross, for THAT KIND IF LOVE, is for eternity!!
Yes, God does get displeased with us when we sin ( this is our do, not our who). And He loves us enough to correct us and continue working with us to bring us into better and more godly behavior Hebrews 12:10. We are destined by God to be molded into the image of Jesus Christ Romans 8:29.
I am grateful that He has sent His Holy Spirit to comvict us of sin and to work God's holiness in and through us. This is a work of Gods grace and it takes place little by little as we study God's Word 2Corinthians 3:18 And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory are being transformed into His likeness with ever increasing, glory, which comes from The Lord, who is the Spirit.
For it is WITH God all things are possible
