Jesus Calling

In the journey of faith, one of the most challenging aspects is grappling with the feelings of inadequacy that often arise. Many individuals wonder if their actions are sufficient to earn God's love. However, the message from Jesus Calling stresses that our worthiness is not determined by our behavior. Instead, it is rooted in the unconditional love God has for each of us. April 19's message reminds us of the eternal nature of God's love. It teaches that our human perspectives can be flawed and that performance anxiety can distort our understanding of His affection. The scripture references included, such as Jeremiah 31:3, emphasize His unwavering commitment, stating, 'I have loved you with an everlasting love.'
