amen you may be seated it is so good to have you in the house of the Lord I’m so grateful today that God calls us just the way we are he doesn’t call us when we’re perfect when we’ve got oursel looking good when we’re just like we think we should be God calls each and every one of us just the way we are and when he calls us he calls us from that place of love and commitment to us you know it would be so freeing to live a life where you felt like everybody loved you wouldn’t it it’d be like you’d be so free from thinking of saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing
you would be so free to live out of a place of abundance not judgment you know it’s interesting I don’t know if lately people get so uptight about things because of Instagram and Facebook you know it’s interesting because the way we present oursel is so important I mean they’ve got filters to make things look better we’ve got apps to give us the right curves we’ve got things to make our eyes more green or more blue I mean we present oursel so that we can have the approval of other people
you know you can get caught up in all that can I tell you this though God God doesn’t need you to put a filter on your life he doesn’t need you to download an app to make yourself look better God likes you he loves you just the way you are live in the freedom that God loves you unconditionally you see if we’ll build our life on this Foundation each and every day if we’ll get up and we’ll truly say God I’m not going to condemn myself I don’t believe you’re condemning me I believe that you
love me with an everlasting love I’m going to go out those doors being my very best today honoring you knowing that I’m not perfect but you are and that there’s nothing you can’t do through me I believe when we live our life like that we’ll be steady we’ll be strong you see sometimes we fall into the the the thinking that God loves us according to our performance if we do everything right then God will love us but that is not true that couldn’t be further from the truth see God loves us unconditionally the Bible says he loves us actions if you’re basing God’s love
