When you are in the middle of a sin, do you feel like talking to God? In the heat of disobedience to you discuss your heart with him? When you are running in your own direction do you turn to your side and look into his eyes?
Probably not but you can. He isn't condemning you, judging you or shunning you. He is right there loving you. You are his. He knew you--who you are, what you would do--when he made the decision to love you.
Lying, stealing, one night stands, gossip, addiction, doubt, overeating...whatever you are holding up to keep him away...not enough to make him give up on you. Not enough to make him leave you.
No matter where you are, what you have done, what you are doing he is right there loving you, waiting for you to realize it.
Not realizing it might be the only thing keeping you from feeling him. His love. His forgiveness. His complete and total acceptance of you. His precious child.
True, he can't look upon sin but he sees you through Jesus' act of unfathomable love and that makes you look pretty good to him.
It's not on his end.
I am sure that nothing can separate us from God's love--not life or death, not angels or spirits, not the present or the future, and not powers above or powers below. Nothing in all creation can separate us from God's love for us in Christ Jesus our Lord!
Romans 8:38-39
