God is Crazy ….About You!

I have Good News for you. God loves messed up, needy, and sinful people, despite their faults. God loves and adores dysfunctional and broken people who have made a mess of their lives. He is the healer of broken lives and wants to make you whole because He is so in love with you. When I say that, I mean God IS CRAZY ABOUT YOU! He’s madly in love with you, and longs for you. That’s right He’s madly in love with you! He is head over heals in love with you. He is wild about you, crazy about you, and love crazed over you. Do you do bad things? Are you a sinner? God loves you; He absolutely adores you and wants to embrace you, give you a bear hug, kiss you on the neck, and dress you in royal robes! You are precious to Him and He delights in you, yes you. God loves you just the way you are, sin and all. God loves us just as we are, but He also loves us too much to leave us in the lost state we are in. He longs to give us life, freedom and joy! He can make us whole and holy. Understand, this is an invitational love to come to Him through Jesus so He can be your Father (Abba, Daddy, and Papa – using Biblical terms). Look at this Bible verse that shows God loves sinners, “This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: ‘Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners’” (1 Timothy 1:15, NLT). This is an invitation to come to Jesus and then have a relationship with your Heavenly Father. Then after (and only after) that, His Spirit comes inside of us and we learn to quit doing things our own way and let Jesus be Lord of our life; for Him to be our guide, our strength, our help, and our lover. But it happens by faith alone in Christ alone. We simply trust Jesus to save us and He does. He cleanses us and gives us new life. Hope, healing balm of grace, encouragement for a weary soul, kindness, mercy, and perfect and unconditional LOVE; a love greater than you could ever imagine; that’s what this book is about. One songwriter put it this way, “Streams of mercy never ceasing.” 1 God is like a river of love, mercy, and joy that never ceases but just keeps flowing into our lives. But we have to accept it by faith. This book is for those who have an oversensitive conscience, need to hear about mercy and forgiveness, are haunted by guilt, and don’t need anyone telling them their sins because they could provide a list ten pages long. This book is for those who crave unconditional love and have just a little bit of faith that it might actually exist in this universe. This book is not for the person who wants to hear more about guilt, damnation, and lists of rules. For they know about this all too well. This book is for those who struggle and need hope. This book…..is for me. It is for me and anyone else who needs to be freed from the shackles of shame and the heavy burden of guilt, only to be loved by a God Who has revealed Himself in The Person of Jesus Christ.
