I tried to be perfect.
I thought that if I DID and SAID and READ and PROFESSED everything RIGHT then I would be loved... by others and by God.
But I blew it.
Lots of times. And I'll bet you've blown it before too..... When we blow it in our human relationships, we often find ourselves rejected and tossed aside. Which makes us try even harder to be perfect. But we can't be perfect. Only one person was ... Jesus!
Do you think that when you've blown it God rejects you too? It's only natural that we would attribute human love qualities to God, since that is all we've ever experienced here on earth.
We don't have to please God to earn His love, but when we know His love, our greatest desire is to please Him.
