You are Special



I would like to remind you all just how special you are to God. Your worth is not based on your accomplishments or mistakes you may have made. God loves you just the way you are. He wants a relationship with you, just because He made you and you are His. Think about how you feel about your own children. You love them no matter what. Your love for them is not based on their performance, and you are always ready to forgive them. I think we judge ourselves too harshly, and we can't forgive ourselves. I think that hurts God because He wants so much for you to know how much you mean to Him. So I encourage you to gather up all of your hurts and past regrets and put them in a bag and give them over to God and never take the bag back again. It is a burden you were not meant to carry. Let God carry that burden for you. That is one of the reasons Jesus went through what He did on that cross, to release you from all burden and sin, to take that upon Himself. And He would have done it if you were the only one on this earth. Now that's powerful. Be free and soar. Be who you were meant to be.


“What is the price of five sparrows—two copper coins? Yet God does not forget a single one of them.  And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.  Luke 12:6-7

  4. Awesome message Trudy!!! It all comes down to the love of God. John 3:16 says it best. It's that love that liberates us. And so many people don't know that. Thanks for sharing the message of His love.....

  6. What a beautiful post Trudy, and a good reminder, I sometimes tend to forget it and I'm always apologizing and sometimes I think all I do is apologize like if God was just some kind of evil parent that is going to whip me if I don't do things his way...Thank you for this reminder that if us being so far from perfect love our children with all our hearts, even more our God loves us because He is loving and perfect.
