Can I love you God—just love you pure and simple without being concerned about performance, living up to expectations, or concern about past mistakes? Can I love you God, pure and simple, without all the baggage I carry. Is it even possible to love in that way—just pure love; a desire to be with you each day; a desire to know you in a deeper way? Just to love you as you love me. Pure and simple. Your love for me God is so hard to grasp. It is not conditional. You have loved me since the day I was born; cared for me; called me yours. You patiently waited for me to come to you. When I did, you embraced me like your long lost son. That warm embrace; that effervescent joy bubbling over. You gave me pure, unconditional love I did not deserve.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!” – Psalm 91:1-2, NASB

I recently read about the trap of performance based acceptance. I saw myself in the description, being someone who often defines myself by how well, or not well I do. It’s not a healthy way to be. Like you said, God loves us unconditionally, we can’t earn it or lose it, because it’s who He is and how He is.
Thank you for the reminder, Chris. Since I began as a Christian blogger, your site has been a template for me: short posts, consist content and posting schedule, and based on scripture.
As you like to say, blessings!
At times I fall into that trap. Some days it’s hard to accept God loves me unconditionally. You’re so right, it’s not a healthy way to live. God’s love and grace is a gift we need to receive.
I appreciate your encouragement, David. So many kind readers have given me support over the years. It helps me to keep posting. Thanks for the comment. Blessings.
