He Thinks You're Wonderful- Max Lucado

God is fond of you. He sends you flowers every spring, and the sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, he’ll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and he chose your heart. Face it friend, he’s crazy about you.

By the way, it may be difficult for you to believe that God knows your name. But he does. Written on his hand, spoken by his mouth, whispered by his lips..Your name. Our hearts are not large enough to contain the blessings that God wants to give.

So try this. Next time a sunrise steals your breath, or a meadow of flowers leaves you speechless…remain that way. Say nothing, and listen as heaven whispers, “Do you like it? I did it just for you.”

He could’ve left the world flat and grey, but he didn’t. He splashed orange in the sunrise, cast the sky in blue. Why give a flower its fragrance? Why give food its taste? Could it be, he loves to see that look upon your face?

So promise me that you’ll never forget that you aren’t an accident, or an incident. You’re a divine work of art, signed by God. You were deliberately planned, specifically gifted and lovingly positioned on this Earth. You were knit together. (psalm 139:13)

Maybe you don’t want to trouble God with your hurt, but he cares about you.(1 Peter 5:7) Your heavenly Father is very fond of you, and only wants to share his love with you.

Flooded by emotion, overcome by pride, the Star-maker turns to us one by one and says, “You are my child. I love you dearly. I’m aware that someday you’ll turn from me and walk away. But I want you to know, I have already provided, a way back.”

God’s dream is to make you right with him. And the path to the cross tells us exactly how far God will go to call us back. It is not our love for God, but God’s love for us in sending his Son to be the way, to take away our sins. (1 John 4:10)

“You wonder how much I love you.

Watch me speak your language.

Sleep on your earth.

And feel your hurt.

Find your answer on a splintered cross on a craggy hill.

That’s, how much I love you.”

God does more than forgive our mistakes, he removes them. We simply have to take them to Him. You can talk to God, because God always listens. He has sent his angels to care for you, His Holy Spirit to dwell in you, His church to encourage you and His word to guide you.

He thinks you’re wonderful.
