Sometimes you really have to ask yourself, with all the evil and sin that the world as a whole brings upon itself every day, do any of us really deserve to be saved? All of us are guilty of sin at numerous times in our lives, none of us can escape it. God has blessed us all with life, in all of it's beauty and grandeur. Yet we still allow sin to creep in and strike at us. So in answer to that question, no, we do not deserve God's love for us.
But despite it all, He blesses us with a love that is more powerful than words can describe. God recognizes that we have a flaw, the same flaw that caused the fall of man in the garden of Eden, and He knew we needed a savior. That savior being Jesus, God's one and only son that sacrificed His life so that we can have everlasting life. That is love, the very definition of it.
All that God wants in return is our love, and for us to put our faith and trust in him. As for me, I can not imagine doing anything less. Despite my tough trials, He has blessed me in more ways than I can list. I may not be perfect, I may not deserve it at times, but the Lord is always there. And for that, I give Him all the love and trust I can give.

Great thoughts Steve! - Remember: "God helps those who can't help themselves".

Steven...I love this...it makes me realize that what we have to give it so little compared to what we have been given. I pray for you as you walk this road. I am encouraged by your insight. Keep sharing...more are reading than you realize.
