“We know what true love looks like because of Jesus. He gave His life for us, and He calls us to give our lives for our brothers and sisters” (1 John 3:16, The Voice).

Smile. God loves you. Not as you should be. Not as you wish you could be. Not as you see yourself on your best days when the skies are blue and all the traffic lights are green.

God loves you as you are. He loves you at your worst as well as your best. He loves you at your darkest and ugliest moments the same way He loves you when you’re living right.

You can’t cause God to love you less or make Him love you more.

When people walk away, God won’t.

When you don’t like yourself, God likes you.

Whether you drive a Maserati or a Ford Pinto, God loves you.

God’s love is as unchanging as God Himself, which means that His love for you is forever.

Take that thought with you as you drift off to sleep tonight.

Oh, by the way, tomorrow’s Friday!
