THE CAUSEWAY

THE CAUSEWAY…

In southern Louisiana, there is this enormous wide body of water called Lake Pontchartrain that separates the north shore of New Orleans from the south shore, approximately 24 miles wide. To get to from the north shore to south shore, they engineered and constructed the longest bridge in the world over water called the Causeway. Ok, why am I sharing this with you? Open your heart because you are going to like what you hear!

The width of God's love extends across the entire globe and includes all people, everyone he has created. In Psalm 145:17 it reads: "The Lord is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made.” “God loves the whole world . . . “ John 3:16

God has never made a person that he didn't love. He made you … he loves you, and God doesn't make junk! He loves you unconditionally. He loves you very, very, very, very, very much!

Everybody matters to God! We even see in the life of Jesus, that he loves the unlovely and those who may feel unlovable. Do you want to know the secret of your esteem? Here it is … if you want confidence, then understand how much you matter to God. If God loves you, who cares what anybody else thinks?

Because God loves you, there's no need to prove your worth. We don’t need to rely on clothes, cars, and connections to identify our worth. The Creator God loves us unconditionally. Rest and be refreshed by His love.

“And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.” Ephesians 3:18-19 NLT
