I love each
of my kids dearly, but some days I have
to confess that I don't like them. This happens whenever I concentrate
on their flaws or bad attitudes. Sometimes I wonder whether God feels the same
way about me. In fact, a few weeks ago I outright asked Him, "Do you like
me?"
· Listen to His answer as you read Song
of Solomon 4: 7, 9 and write about it below.
God the
Father sees us as holy, pure, and blameless because He has given us the
righteousness of Christ. He not only loves us, but He actually likes us and
wants to be with us. The Father enjoys us even in our weakness. He is not
gritting His teeth and enduring us. A few weeks ago you read Luke 15:11-32,
concentrating on our sense of belonging.
· Read Luke 15:20-24 again, looking at
how the Father feels about us while we are dirty with sin. Write your thoughts
below.

God rejoices
while He walks with us on our path to recovery. Seeing our repentance and
sincere desire to obey Him, He enjoys us even before we have victory in an area
of failure in our lives. This gives us
the confidence to run to the Father, rather than away from Him when confronted
with our weakness.
