Unconditionally

Unconditionally

Jesus understands every weakness of ours, because he was tempted in every way that we are. But he did not sin!

—Hebrews 4:15 (CEV)

Remember that the devil is the father of lies. He likes to sneak into your thoughts and whisper lies to you. One of his favorites is to tell you that I don’t really love you unconditionally. Satan wants you to believe that you have to be good enough to be loved. If you make one little mistake—if you even think about a sin—then surely I won’t love you anymore.

That is a lie. I love you, no matter what. This world is full of temptations. It’s hard to always resist, and it’s impossible for you to be perfect. I understand that. I walked on this earth, too, and I was exactly your age once.

But be encouraged: I lived a perfect life in this world and then died to wash away your sins. And I rose from the grave to be your Savior. All because I love you—unconditionally. Come close to Me, and I’ll wrap you up in My perfect Love.

Love,

Jesus
