 Theme: Embracing God’s Love When You Feel Unworthy

Arlene  Johnson McLeod

Kings SDA


There are moments in life when we feel unworthy of love. Maybe it's because of mistakes we've made in the past, feelings of inadequacy, or the weight of disappointments that seem to define us. In these moments, it's easy to believe that no one could love us, or that we are too broken to be truly loved. I love my husband and I know he loves me. But God’s love is different from anything we can understand or experience on earth.

The Bible tells us that God’s love for us is unconditional, unwavering, and unchanging. In Romans 5:8, it says, "But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." God's love is not dependent on us being sinless. He doesn't love us because we have earned it, but simply because He is love. We don’t need to strive or perform to be loved by Him; we are loved because He created us and desires to be in a relationship with us.

In John 4:7-10, we read the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. In the cultural context of the time, this woman was considered an outcast. She had a past filled with mistakes and shame, but Jesus approached her, spoke to her, and offered her living water. He saw her worth when others might have turned away. He didn’t look at her past but saw her heart, offering love and grace despite her perceived unworthiness.

The beautiful truth is that Jesus offers the same love to us. No matter what we’ve done, how we feel, or how unworthy we think we are, Jesus sees us, loves us, and offers grace.

WHAT A GOD!

We are never too far gone to be loved by God. He loves us in our brokenness, heals our wounds, and calls us His own.

When you feel unworthy, remember that God’s love is constant. It is not based on your performance or past actions. It is a love that heals, restores, and transforms. Embrace His love today, knowing that it’s freely given, and no one loves you like He does. No one, my sister.

Prayer:

Father God, thank You for Your immeasurable love that never changes. In moments when I feel unworthy, remind me of Your truth—that You love me not because of what I’ve done but because of who You are. Help me to embrace Your love and rest in the assurance that I am enough in Your eyes. Heal my heart and help me to walk in the freedom of knowing I am cherished and loved by You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Help! I Am A Worrier. Author : Sharon Campbell-Danvers, Shepherdess, Educator Theme : Contentment in Christ. Finding peace and joy in God regardless of circumstances Peace of mind is a valuable commodity that cannot have a price tag placed on it. If worrying was a product, I would be rich.  Peace of mind is precious and closely aligned with our mental health and well-being. Truth be told, so many things seek to distract us from what is truly important and what gives us true peace. This is a struggle for me. I need a piece of peace! A big slice. Whopper version, supersized. Women are confronted with many issues that impact their peace of mind. The woman with the issue of blood was in a deep place for twelve years (Mark 5:25-34). Mary and Martha watched their brother die and wept (John 11:1-44). The woman at the well was searching for deeper meaning in her life without even knowing it until she came in contact with Jesus (John 4:1-26). Hannah was troubled at home and could find no ...

Trust the Plan Theme : Trusting God's timing and purpose in your life. Author : Dr. Terry-Ann Robinson, Kings Seventh-day Adventist Church   For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11   I must admit I don't like waiting or uncertainty. I am one of those people who make a list for everything, and then I have a list to keep track of my list. I work very strictly with time, and I mentally take quite a few "chill pills" to control my emotions when things don't go according to plan. I have gotten better over the years, but my "chill pills" are still needed. For some time now, I have been asking God to show me His plan for my life. I want a glimpse of the plan. Instead of showing me the details of His plan, God responds with Jeremiah 29:11, saying He knows the plan.   But Lord, I want to know the plan too.   Why can't you just tell me the ...

March 16 Anxious but Anchored

Carol Nyack Shepherdess Cayman Islands Conference of SDA Theme: Trusting God when anxiety creeps in . It was a cool February evening, and I was reaching the end of my rope in more ways than one. I was partially laid up with a broken ankle, having just shattered my beautiful flowerpot. At the same time, vacuuming, and then, minutes later, discovered that my unlocked car had been ransacked during the night. I glanced at my husband resting on the sofa. He remained unbothered by my recounting of events. I then contacted our older son. While on the phone, my husband calmly said, "Ask him to come take me to the hospital." There was no complaint of pain, no urgency in his voice—just a quiet request. At this point, I knew prayer was more important than questioning.  Our son arrived, and just as my husband turned to kiss me and leave, I grabbed him to pray. On the way to the hospital, things took a drastic do...
