What is the most important message of the Bible?
Answer: that God loves us.
The Bible has many messages that are important to us, but the most important of these is that He loves us. Just trying to get our heads around that unconditional, incredible love is a good starting point to trying to understand the Bible as a whole. God's love, in short, really is mindboggling! How many fathers would sacrifice their sons, especially if that son were perfect? And that is just one example of His love.
We think that because we are x or because we are y, God loves us less than other people. No! God loves everyone the same. Don't forget that Jesus said: "I have come not to call the righteous but to call sinners." (Matthew 9:13). It is by His grace that He loves us and not because we are worthy of His love.
So when you feel weak and unworthy, take His strength and His worth and start your day!

GOD IS STILL IN THE FIGHT
When the final petals have fallen,
A dark void grows within.
Raising your head seems impossible when
All you want to do is give up.
But
God is still in the fight with you,
Holding you close as you cry.
God is still watching over...
You.
The warring of men tears you apart,
Greed corrupting them all.
Divine inspiration seems to be lost,
But wait and pray.
God is still in the fight with you,
Holding you close as you cry.
God is still watching over...
You.
Bridge: Don't give up, hold on.
Closer than you think.
Don't let go, be strong.
Jesus Christ will bless you yet,
Will bless you yet.
God is still in the fight with you,
Holding you close as you cry.
God is still in the fight with you,
Holding you close as you cry.
God is still watching over...
You.
He Still Loves Me – Beyonce and Walter Williams
But I'm finally here
I just wanna testify
Make it crystal clear
See I've been picked out
To be picked on
Talked about out my friend's mouth
I've been beat down
'Til he turned my life around
(turned my life around)
Seems like I always fall short of being worthy
'Cause I ain't good enough
but he still loves me
I ain't no superstar
The spotlight ain't shining on me
(no no no no no)
'Cause I ain't good enough
but he still loves me
Loves me
I used to wake up some days
and wish I'd stayed asleep
'Cause I went to bed on top of the world
today the world's on top of me
everybody's got opinions
(they share)
They ain't been in my position
(they don't care)
that it breaks my heart when I hear what they have to say about me yeah
(what they say)
seems like I always fall short (falling short)
of being worthy (Lord I ain't worthy)
Cuz I aint good enough (no no)
but he still loves me (still loves me)
I aint no superstar
(I wanna be for you)
The spotlight aint shinin on me
cuz I aint good enough
but he still loves me
I'm not perfect
(I'm not perfect)
Yes I do wrong
(yes I do wrong)
I'm trying my best
(trying my best but)
But it aint good enough
(just aint good enough)
Shunned by the world
If I don't succeed
Cuz I aint good
But he still loves me
(I just aint good enough)
If you aint worthy just raise your hands
And let me know that you understand
That we are all so blessed
To be loved, loved
Stand for him and fall for anything
Cause through his eyes we all look the same
What would we do without blame?
Feels like we always fall short
Of bein worthy (we are not worthy)
Cuz I aint good enough
But he still loves me
I aint no superstar
(I aint no superstar but I wanna be for you Lord)
The spotlight aint shinin on me
Cuz I aint good enough
(Oh)
But you still love me
I'm not perfect
Yes I do wrong
I'm tryin my best but
(tryin my best)
It aint good enough
(I'm not good enough)
Shunned be the word
(shunned by the world)
If i dont succeed
(i dont succeed-ceed-ceed)
Cuz I aint good enough
But he still loves me
(child sing with me)
I'm not perfect
Yes I do wrong
I'm tryin my best but
It aint good enough
(But the Lord's been so good to me)
Shunned be the word
(Shunned by the world)
If i dont succeed
Cuz I aint good enough
(I aint good enough)
But he still loves me
(The Lord still loves me)
No I aint good enough
But He still loves me
(Raise your hands if ya understand)
No I aint good enough
(How he blessed you cuz he blessed you too)
but He still loves me
(even though I aint worthy)
No I aint good enough
(you aint worthy, He's there for you)
but He still loves me
(no matter what I do)
No I aint good enough
(I aint good enough)
but he still loves me
(but the Lord still loves me)
