He's bothered with you

When a couple is in love, there's a certain sparkle in their eyes as they look at each other. It's their love language. And God has his own love language that he speaks to us with? The Bible is full of stories about God saving his people, as well as songs (particularly in the psalms) about how much he loves and longs to be loved. The amazing thing is that it was written for us today, so we could get to know God and how he feels about us. (Bonus: read Jeremiah 33:10-11)

Sometimes we think God will only speak to us in church or if we've prayed for hours. Some of us believe that unless the world is ending, we shouldn't bother God. But, guess what, God is absolutely bothered about us! About what we have to say and what kind of day we're having. And... he'll keep on being bothered until the day we die! Let's remember: 'the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are...valuable to God...' (Luke 12:7 NLT). If God can be bothered to keep a tab on how much hair we have, then surely he wants to know about the choices we make, the stuff that hurts our feelings and what makes us happy!

When we include God in the little things, we'll find that the bigger picture becomes clearer and makes more sense.



So what now? Today, don't just muddle through. Get Jesus involved and take a moment to thank him that he is bothered with you!
