More today from my Saturday “Jesus Blog” – a word from Jesus to you…

Nothing is wrong with you. I’ll say it again.

Nothing is wrong with you.

You were perfectly planned, perfectly designed, perfectly made.

Don’t let anybody tell you different.

Of course you mature — who doesn’t mature? But that’s up to me to say, no one else.

And if you follow me, as much as you can trust me, I will mature you. More completely and beautifully than you could ever do on your own.

Still: it’s up to you. However you want to do it.

Just know that God is not waiting for you to get better.

You ARE better.

Better than your detractors could possibly know. Better than anyone who would say otherwise could possibly know.

Don’t strive and struggle. Don’t stress.

Just be.

Now… let’s go have some fun!
