I was struggling with something. I was starting to feel really upset and angry with myself and so I began planning to binge because it fit how I was feeling; worthless. Just then the song "Nobody Loves Me Like You" by Jars of Clay came on the radio.
It hit me. I was looking for comfort in something I know I shouldn't have and was mad at myself for displeasing God; my thought process went no further. I wasn't thinking about how He loves! I wasn't thinking that He cares about me and isn't mad at me for getting upset. He wants me to stay away from certain things because He loves me. I had been getting into the mind set of only doing things to show I love Him but wasn't thinking of the other half; I wasn't thinking of His love. He wants me to do certain things because He loves me and knows I will only have perfect happiness in Him. He cares. Nobody could ever love me as fiercely or want my happiness like He does. It's often very hard for me to accept being loved or cared about but...He said so. He died. He is ever present in the Eucharist. He is Truth. He is my security and safety. ...it's going to be okay.
To take a person who loves us beyond words... and realize that God loves us unfathomably more... AMAZING. He is so, so good.
