for my growth.
Because God loves me
He does not treat me as an object to
be possessed and manipulated.

with how great and powerful
He is because He is God, nor does
He belittle me as His child in order
to show me how important He is.
Because God loves me
He is for me. He wants to see me
mature and develop in His love.
Because God loves me
He does not send down His wrath
on every little mistake I make, of
which there are many.
Because God loves me,
He does not keep score of all my sins
and then beat me over the head with
them whenever He gets the chance.

He rejoices when I experience His
power and strength and stand up under

with me even when I feel like
giving up and can't see why
He doesn't give up on me, too.

He keeps on trusting me when
at times I don't even trust myself.

He never says, "There is no hope
for you," rather, He patiently works
with me, loves me and disciplines
me in such a way that it is hard for
me to understand the depth of
His concern for me.
Because God loves me
He never forsakes me even though
many of my friends might.
Because God loves me
He stands with me when I have
reached the rock bottom of despair,
when I see the real me and compare
that with His righteousness, holiness,
beauty and love. It is at a moment
like this that I can really believe
that God loves me.
Yes, the greatest of all gifts
is God's perfect love!
