God is love
The other day I saw this beat up truck driving down the road and it had spray painted on it God is love. So many things struck me as so true.
*Even though we might be beat up and run down like the truck God loves us and wants to give us rest.
Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
*Once again I was reminded there’s nothing you can do to make God love you more or less. This truck could get a new paint job and remove all of the garbage but it’s still an old truck and that’s okay. It’s not about getting good enough for God…it’s about letting God work through me.
Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this verse because it’s all about how God can work through me even though I am weak and the more I acknowledge my weaknesses the better he works through me.
*Probably the most important thing I was reminded is we all have baggage. I have been reminded so many times how we all have “stuff”. And I am really okay with that now. I used to hate all of the stuff I had been through…all of my baggage, my vulnerabilities, and my weaknesses but now I firmly believe this verse:
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God
God has truly brought light into the dark places of my life and he is showing me how to use them for good.
So this truck might look like garbage and honestly I wouldn’t want it 
But there is so much beauty in the things it reminds of.
