Some lessons take more than one time to learn. Recently God has been showing me that I need to let Him love me once again. It’s such an important lesson too. If we don’t let God love us first, we won’t be able to love others or God. So many times I’ve found myself trying to work for God and trying to please Him, but once again He reminded me how pleased He is with me already- not when I have my own ministry or have written hundreds of worship songs. He is pleased with me now, not because of what I’ve done but because of who I am in Him.
Sometimes I feel like it’s my job to make sure everyone gets saved, but that puts an unnecessary pressure on me that God hasn’t given me. If He needed us, we would have a huge responsibility and a reason for worry. But He doesn’t need us; He wants us desperately and desires relationship with us. I do believe God lets us partner with Him in this huge goal, but He knows what we can and can’t handle. And just like Jesus, we are to be obedient and only do what God gives us to do. He’s in control, not us. Let God be God.
Our primary purpose is not to work for God though. He calls us to be worshipers first. Let God love you first and it will draw you to the place you were designed for- His presence.
“Our purpose is that we might worship God and enjoy Him forever.” –A. W. Tozer
