This is also in the cover of my Bible..
I have posted it before, but God has put it in my heart to share today as well. Maybe for someone reading it as well...
Father, speak to your ppl today who may be doubting themselves.. who do not doubt you, but who doubt the measure of their faith to believe just how great your love is for them. Let them know that they are of more value than they realize, t...hat they are the object of your affection just in who they are, your child. Remind them of the many times that they thought they glimpsed the love of God for them, assure them that they heard you right, that it was really you saying to them, 'I love you so much.' Encourage their hearts that their failures and shortcomings have not negated their place in your heart. Tell them how much they have pleased you, how much their life has pleased you. In ways that are real and personal to them. Thank you Father, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

I asked the Lord, "How do I please you Lord?"
He answered...
"Because you were wounded, and you cried out to me and I nourished you back to health...
Because the enemy sought to destroy you, but I sought to give you life (greater life than you could know.. eternal, full of joy, full of forgiveness)...
Because you were stolen and lured from me, and I fought to get you back and I will fight to keep you...
Because you didn't know me and yet you fell in love with me at the sight of me...
Because you desire me and you are zealous that I desire you...
Because you want what is just and right and good and that is my heart."
