You are Loved

One of my new favorite songs is "You Are Loved" by Rebecca St. James and it would be from my heart to yours!  Lyrics:

This is what I long to say to you
If I had one chance to tell you something
You are loved more than you can imagine.

I’m working on a sermon for the JCHS Baccaluarate service and I keep praying to God, "What is it that you want them to know?  What do you long for them to know?"  And I remembered this song by Rebecca St. James and the words spoke right to me – words that everyone should know – words that God longs for us to hear from Him –  You are loved more than you can imagine!

So.. cherish this in your heart and don’t forget it …. You are loved more than you can imagine.  God loves you in such a way that is beyond our imaginations.  It is way better than we can imagine.  It is way deeper than we can imagine.  It is way purer than we can imagine.   You are loved.  No matter what.  No matter what choices you make, mistakes you do, good deeds you accomplish, pain you cause, lives you save, hearts you break, lies you tell, prayers you say . . . you are loved.  Deal with it.
