The goodness and faithfulness of God is available to all who belong to Jesus, we are loved and accepted.

WE ALWAYS FEEL LIKE WE HAVE TO PERFORM SOME GOOD DEED IN ORDER TO GET THE FATHER'S LOVE AND ATTENTION.

We believe if we pray more, read the word more, witness more, then God will be pleased with us.

That is religious thinking, not relational thinking.
Religion, demands, a relationship with Jesus is love, and acceptance.

Jeremiah 31: 3
The Lord has appeared of old to me saying;
"Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love;  therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
Again I will build you, and you shall be rebuilt.


Just your receiving His Son gets Father's attention.
You are God's child, you always have His love and attention, you have been adopted into the family of God when you accepted Jesus sacrifice for all your sins.

Like the prodigal son, he felt like he had to perform as a servant to reenter his Fathers home.  

No he didn't, 
the act of returning to the Father's house was enough, even though it was his hunger that drove him there.  (Luke 15:11-24)

Whatever the reason, he went home.

The Father was always watching for his return, longing for the son to return, because he knew while he was out in the world, he was dead.

The Father wanted his son alive again. ( Luke 15:32)

Repentance is beautiful in the Father's eyes, He loves it when we admit a wrong and turn from it, however that is not a requirement for His love, He always loves His children.

We always feel if we try harder to end a addiction, or a bad habit, that will please the Lord.  

He wants you to come to Him as you are.  He'll do the cleaning up. 

He loves you enough to come to this earth as a human being and die in your place, if that isn't love I don't know what is! 
His precious blood redeems us.

Just as with fishermen, they catch the fish first and then clean them.  

When Jesus said I will make you fishers of men, they knew what the Lord was saying, you catch them, I will clean them. 

His precious word, will wash them. (speaking of God's church of which we are part of)

Ephesians 5:26
That He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word.

Where the word of King Jesus is, there is power!

It is our responsibility to win souls to Jesus, it is His job to clean them up.

Beloved, we are accepted in the beloved, no matter where you are in your spiritual growth, you have Father's love and you are accepted, you always have Father's attention.

No performance is required, remember the song, "Just as I am", well that is it, come just as you are, sins, bad habits, addictions, God will clean you up. 

FATHER LOVES YOU, JESUS LOVES YOU, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IS HERE FOR YOU,  
TO TRAIN AND TEACH YOU AND COMFORT YOU, 

HE IS YOUR BEST FRIEND, AND IT IS HE WHO TEACHES YOU TO LOVE THOSE THAT SEEM UNLOVABLE!

God bless your day
Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus
Joy
