Unconditional Love



There are days where I'm convinced that I am not worthy of love. No love. None, whatsoever. Not my husband's, or my sons', and especially not Jesus'. I let the lies of the enemy take over my thoughts and I start to believe that words I said to my husband or children or anybody, out of anxiety and fear (or hunger. amirite?) have deemed me unlovable. Like Jesus has some kind of 3-strikes-and-you're-out system in heaven, determining whether or not I get his love and acceptance that day. It's amazing to me how easily I let these destructive trains of thought take root when I KNOW the truth. I KNOW what Jesus says about me! But, why do I choose to believe the lie? Simple. Because I am putting His UNCONDITIONAL love into a box. I am putting limits on it, when the very word "unconditional" suggest THERE ARE NO LIMITS TO HIS LOVE. There is nothing you or I can do to cause Him not to love us. There's a song called "Reckless Love" put out by Bethel Music (I'll link it at the bottom)that I listen to whenever I start to doubt and the chorus is my favorite: 
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it
I don't deserve it
Still You give yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God

It's a great reminder that not only does He love us unconditionally, even though we don't deserve it at all, He's also continuously fighting for us to have a revelation of His love. A revelation of who He is. So, if you're feeling unloved today, remember: there is literally nothing you can do to make Him love you more or less than He already does. You don't even have to believe in Him. His love for you is not contingent on your recognition of it. It just is. He IS LOVE.

In HIS love, Kat
1 Cor 13:4-13

The Drama of Parenthood

Let me start by saying that I totally realize I've started and stopped several blogs over the years, but here's to this one sticking! Hopefully. We'll see.... I know I should probably start my first blog post with an introduction, but since most of the people  reading this already know me, I figured I'd fore go that for now. Sorry. I know you're all dying to hear me talk about myself *sarcasm* Anywhooo, today I want to share something I came across yesterday. I was reading a blog about motherhood a friend shared on Facebook. I can't remember who shared it or even exactly what it was about, but it was one of those "the days are long, but years short" kind of blog, a motherhood is hard, but worth it kind of post. Which I 100% agree with. What I don't agree with is a comment someone left on this particular post. The comment said, "Such drama! We're all born to be mother's. It's natural and beautiful". Now everyone has a r...
