Unconditional Love

"I am the thorn in Your crown, but You love me anyway
I am the sweat from Your brow, but You love me anyway 
I am the nail in Your wrist, but You love me anyway
I am Judas's kiss, but You love me anyway"

These are lyrics to one of my favorite songs, You Love Me Anyway by Sidewalk Prophets. I heard this song on my way home from work this evening, and this song just always reminds me of the love that God has for me. I'm not, in any way, perfect. I screw up. My thoughts aren't always pleasing to God. I don't always share the love of God. I've turned my back on God and told him I was done. Even with all the disrespect I've shown Him, he stills loves me? That's something that I will never understand, but it's awesome!!! God showers me with new mercies each morning no matter what I've done the day before. I know that I serve a God of forgiveness! There's nothing that I can do or anyone can do that can take away the love of God because Our God is just that AWESOME!! God promises to NEVER leave me nor forsake me... and God doesn't break His promises :) (He's a promise maker, not a promise breaker. I know: corny, but hey! what can I say? haha :P) 
 
To end, I'll share a verse that just came to me, but that I studied at Passion with my awesome family group :)

Ephesians 3: 17-19 (ESV)
So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith -- that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

And that last part gets me every time. "That you may be filled with the fullness of God." Am I even worthy of that? By all means, NO! But God loves me just that much :)
