God offers us a gift not based out of our behavior, but out of His grace and generosity. It’s extravagant. It’s undeserved. It’s more than we expect. God offers us His unfair love. When it comes to God’s love for us sometimes we think it’s expected. It’s obligatory. He has to love us…that’s God’s job, right? But this isn’t the kind of love God has for you. This isn’t the love Jesus described in his stories or modeled with his life. In fact, I would say God doesn’t just love you, He likes you. That may seem a little off to you, but check out these verses in Romans. Romans 5:10-11 (NLT): “For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of His Son while we were still His enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of His Son. So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.” If you are a Jesus follower, you are a friend of God. Ever felt like you don’t have a friend in the world? You have a friend in God. You get to choose your friends, and God chooses you. You are not alone!
