Believing God

I have absolutely no problem believing IN God. I know that He's real. I don't have a problem with that. Now, BELIEVING Him is a completely different story.
I am so grateful that He has accepted me, that I am saved, that I will be with Him in eternity, but I have always had this picture in my mind that He just tolerates me. I think of Him saying "Okay, I'll take that one, she seems sincere in her desire to want to follow me, hopefully one day she will stop messing up. But, I'll take her." Lately, I have been trying to wrap my wee little brain around the fact that He doesn't just tolerate me- He desires me, He loves me, He delights in me! WOW!!

He wants to comfort me:
For I, the LORD your God,
hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, "Fear not,
I am the one who helps you."
Isaiah 41:13 ESV

He watches over me:
The LORD will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore.
Psalm 121:8 ESV

His love for me is incomprehensible:
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, ¹⁸may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, ¹⁹and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3:17-19

He delights in me and even SINGS over me!: (not just any singing- LOUD singing!)
The LORD your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
ESV Zephaniah 3:17

The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing."
NIV Zephaniah 3:17


I am choosing to believe God. These truths will take root in my heart as I choose over and over again to simply believe! I pray that you feel His love and you choose to believe Him too!
