Just remembering today that this whole "God loves us" thing is something we can bank on. It was all his idea in the first place. He took the initiative, he made the move, it was his idea. We didn't talk him into it, we didn't come up with some appeal and he bought into it.
Jesus isn't a God who has to be persuaded to love us or care about us. We don't have to win him over.
He's already there. He started this.
We don't have to use magic words to coax him into attentiveness when we pray, we don't have to try to manipulate him with religious procedure. If he didn't love us we would. And if he could be bought or bribed maybe those things would be worth the effort. But we don't have to bribe him or control him.
All the insecurity we feel about his love just isn't true.
