Mine

I have a sweet, smart, beautiful dog that I absolutely love. But do you know why I really love Sugar? It's not because she's sweet, smart, beautiful, or just the right size. And I wouldn't love her more if she wouldn't go bolting off where she's not supposed to go every time she gets the chance, just like I don't love her any less because she does. I love her because she is mine. Just because she's my very own. Every time I look at her, my heart is filled with love. Now, if I feel that way about my dog, I can only imagine how much more God feels that way about me!!! He doesn't love me for anything I do or don't do, He just loves me because I'm His. When I look at my life, and see all the broken pieces and the sin and the failures and I wonder--how could He love me? Why would He love me? He whispers soft and low....
