"He’s making his list and checking it twice…gonna find out who is naughty or nice.."
I don’t know about you, but as a kid, I think I thought that was the way god worked too. Collecting all my sins in a folder to be used against me at a later date.
I'm thankful that God doesn't work like Santa.
The bible says, God keeps no record of wrongs. (1 Corinthians 13:5)
It’s hard to wrap your brain around the idea that God loves you just the way you are, worts and all. I have found one of the best explanations about this depth of God's love in of all things, a children's bible I read to my kids.
The Jesus Storybook Bible describes God's love as: “Never ending, unstoppable, never giving up, unbreaking, always, and forever love.”
