God’s Love Notes (GLN)

When your days feel weary with words that overwhelm you about your worth, look for God’s Love Notes. Here are some I’ve tucked away, that I’d like to share.

1. My Regrets.

I will make up for opportunities you think you’ve lost.
You can trust I have something worth the trade of your heart.

“Then I will make up to you for the years that the locust has eaten.” Joel 2:25 

2. My best efforts are nothing compared to my failures.

Don’t despise small beginnings. You are big in my eyes. Your heart is more valuable to me than the results of your efforts. Don’t be afraid. I will never give up on you. Don’t give up on me.

“Who despises the day of small things?” Zech 4:10 

“My Spirit remains among you; do not fear. I will fill this temple with glory. .. The glory of this latter temple (our imperfect selves) shall be greater than the former (self-made lives).” Haggai 2:4,5, 8,9 

3. My Negative Traits/Mistakes prove I’m not fruitful. I’m a failure.

You can’t do this. That’s why I’m here. You are not a failure. Growing takes time. One day, you’ll have no idea how it happened, but you’ll be surprised my words have an effect on you.

“This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. All by itself , the soil produces grain.” Mark 1:26-29
