Life less Ordinary for the week of March 2, 2009

Welcome back, girls! I hope you all had a safe, fun, relaxing break. While here I usually offer a thought or reflection, this week I only want to tell you one thing:

You are loved.

That’s it. Plain and simple. Over and over in the New Testament, Jesus says, “I tell you the truth…” And in John 14 he says, “If it were not so, would I have told you?” That’s huge. If this weren’t the truth, it wouldn’t be all over the Bible. So believe it, because it’s true. Isn’t that awesome?

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ~John 3:16

The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.” ~Jeremiah 31:3

“…In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” ~Romans 8:37-39

“The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."
~Zephaniah 3:17

The LORD is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and rich in love.
The LORD is good to all;
he has compassion on all he has made.
The LORD is faithful to all his promises
and loving toward all he has made.
The LORD upholds all those who fall
and lifts up all who are bowed down.
The LORD is righteous in all his ways
and loving toward all he has made.
~from Psalm 145
