I have this Scripture written on an index card right now. (Yes, a pink one!) I need this verse so badly. See, I’m a perfectionist by nature and very performance driven. This verse tells me I don’t have to be. It tells me that God loves me as much now as he did before I gave my life to him. He loves me no more and no less. I don’t have to perform to earn or keep his love. All I have to do is live for him. And that makes me want to please him with my life.

Dear Lord, thank you for being You-perfect, mighty, strong, and loving. There aren’t enough or adequate words to express how awesome and wonderful you are. Help us to live our lives to please you, and don’t let us forget for moment, just how much You love us. In Christ’s Precious Name, amen.

    Dineen,
    Wow, this scripture is for me today. I am going to write is down. I wonder if I have a pink card around here somewhere.
    Wonderful devotion and I loved the prayer. I am praying it as well. Hugs~

    I visited you often… you helped me… or at least you helped me keep going.
    But…
    We didn’t make it.
    Thank you anyway. I appreciate the concept behind this blog and the effort you have put in it.

    Hmmm.. this verse really gives me something to think about. I tend to want things “just right” and that will many times get in the way of what God wants. Thanks for giving me something to really thing about today.
    Have a great week!

    Awesome. Thank you for the reminder and the verse. This definitely is for me!
    I think I should print this out on some address labels and put it up in my cubicle at work, on my side of the mirror in the bathroom, in my Bible cover, in my car. . .
