Hello.
my message is short and sweet today.
God is love and he loves you.
He loves you so much that he sent his son to earth to help us know him and love him, and he also taught us to live how he wanted. Jesus is the best teacher. He is the savior and messiah.
Many even me have problems being worthy of Gods love. That was one of my bigger problems spiritually for a very long time. I didn’t figure it out until my 40’s. My Franciscan fraternity and a few priests helped me see that I am worthy of Gods love. God doesn’t just love us when we are perfect or good. He loves us when we fail and screw up and sin also. He is a doting father who is cheering for his kids.

I didn’t believe I was worthy of Gods love because I am broken.
I am broken in several ways. Physically I am 5 feet tall and 125 pounds and have several medical issues. I am broken because I am a sinner and keep screwing up. I am broken because I make grand plans, especially during advent and lent. Then none of them work out or I forget. I am broken because I have brain damage and have a horrible memory. Thank God for confession. But God loves me still even with all my problems. Thank God he gave me people in my life that make me better and keep me going.

He loves you too. Even with all your issues and such, he is always there waiting. Man I made him wait 3-4 decades to take my faith seriously. Even if you don’t believe you are worthy of Gods love. Guess what you don’t need to be. He can make you worthy. He is always waiting, he has all the time of eternity to wait for you.
Just know he loves you and wants you to know him.
My message was to be short but if I think of Gods love I guess I want everyone to know. Merry Christmas.
