I Didn’t Think I Was Good Enough for Him

In the beginning, I’ll be honest, I didn’t think I was good enough for him.

There were things from my past that I had not made peace with. Things I was not proud of. And, well, he just seemed too good to be true.

So I tried pushing him away.

But he was patient with me. He waited for me. He showed me his love was unconditional and that he didn’t care about the past, only a future with me.

And you know what?

That’s pretty much how my relationship with Jesus played out too.

I pushed Him away.

I didn’t feel worthy of Him and His love.

I didn’t think I was forgivable. I didn’t think I was loveable. 

But Jesus was patient with me, just like the prodigal son. He showed me His love was unconditional. That I was worthy of it. His grace found me and His love has been overwhelming. 

Just like it was with my husband.

And I sure am grateful I have a husband who showed me the love of Jesus.
