God doesn’t look at things the way we do.

He doesn’t measure success by the worldly possessions we gain or the position we attain. He looks at our heart, and focuses on our deepening discovery of His love. When we face trials, He allows them and He uses them—to draw us closer to Him and reveal our need to be there. The truly beautiful part is realizing how fulfilling that place is. It’s where we want to be!

Nothing on earth comes close to matching the pure and absolute joy of falling in love with the One who loves us most. Our relationship with God makes our relationships here the way they were designed to be. We love without fear, forgive without fanfare, and give without counting the cost.

Like Jesus.

“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.”
Jeremiah 31:3
