Many of us grow up doubting the love of God because of the relationships we have with others. Broken relationships, hurt from others, or even our own bad choices and cause us to doubt why God would choose to love us. Sometimes well-meaning churches even misguide us into thinking that we need to earn God’s love by behaving or acting “good enough”. God demonstrated the greatest act of love when Jesus Christ died on the cross for us. We no longer have to work toward being love, it is given freely for all. (Asheritah Ciucui)

As I read the above, I had just finished writing a note to Jesus (I do this whenever I am dealing with something and need him to straighten the crooked thoughts with His wisdom and knowledge.). I grew up in a religion of misguided teachings. Too much fear of dos and don’ts. I am a very sensitive person and I do love Jesus. But I am also a human being and not God. It would be impossible to live the way I was taught without being a monk. Anyway, I was writing all of this in my letter to Jesus when I was nudged to go to the Internet and pull up scriptures on the love of God, and scriptures of how Jesus loved the outcasts, sinners, and how he argued with the Pharisees over their rules, regulations, and righteousness. All I can say, it does help me to journalize feelings, because it causes me to become fully aware of facts that may or may not be true, and it allows the wisdom of God to direct me to the truths of His teaching and not man’s.
