Principle 2 of Celebrate Recovery’s Eight Recovery Principles reads, “Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him and that He has the power to help me recover.”
I matter to Him…
You may have gone your entire life without hearing the words “I love you.” You may have gone your whole life without feeling the love of a warm hug. You may have gone your whole life without knowing personal value or self-worth. Let me stop right here and let you know something…the same God who created this world and everyone in it, the same God who performed CRAZY, INSANE miracles and wonders throughout the course of history, the same God who is infinitely wise, pure, and just…is the same God who LOVES YOU and has plans to see you prosper in this life and live forever with Him in the next. How’s that for a run-on sentence?
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 NKJV
He loves you enough to forgive you. He loves you enough to save you. He loves you enough to call you His own, to call you His son, to call you His daughter. He loves you enough to turn your mess into a message of HOPE. He loves you so much that He DIED FOR YOU.
God loves you. I believe He loves you with a love that burns with such INTENSITY that it would put the sun to shame, make it seem like a Fisher Price flashlight.
