‘Maybe you think it is possible to deplete his love for you. He replies that the ‘earth is full’ of it (Ps 33.5). We can know that our sins won’t overwhelm his love because he loves to ‘adorn’ the humble with salvation (Ps 149.4). When we think our sins are just too great, we need to remember that Jesus’ promise of salvation is only for lost sinners, NOT for the ‘righteous’ (Mark 2.17).
‘The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.’ (Zeph 3.17)

Oh Elyse Fitzpatrick… you need to be my live-in spiritual mentor. I need an alarm clock that does not buzz but reads these words to me every morning until I’m quite awake.
