A Love that Just Is

If we could learn to receive God's love, accepting that it just simply IS without trying to figure out how and why ... we would be so much happier and freer than ever! I am convinced of this and everyday I strive to receive God's love and His daily dose of grace and mercy for me. I stress myself out when I try to wrap my mind around why He loves me. I get anxious when I go over the list of reasons why He shouldn't love me. But, I gain a sweet peace of mind when I choose to accept the fact that there is absolutely nothing I can do to earn His love. His love just IS and it always will be, even when I mess up.
