He loved us not because we are lovable, but because He is love.
C. S. Lewis I think that "lovable" is about the last word I'd use to describe myself. Isn't it wonderful that God loves me anyway, warts and all.
The problem is that we don't see ourselves as lovable no matter what we say or do. My friend told me I look like Jesus to her - oh my goodness, no I don't! To me I look like a big time sinner and very unlovable. But she doesn't see my thoughts, just how I am with her, thank goodness. :) blessings, marlene
I have that same friend and it's very hard to think that someone thinks that highly of me, like I'm living a complete lie. I guess we just continue to try and be more Christlike, failing every day, but knowing that Jesus still loves and forgives us. Thanks for your comment and humble honesty.
