That may seem like a simple statement. Too sentimental. Especially on a day like this. 

But there is nothing shallow about it. In fact, it is the deepest truth about you. 

It was true before any accomplishment. It remains true after every failure.

You are not loved because of what you’ve done or failed to do. 

But because Jesus is Love. He loves you because that is who he is. 

This is just our reminder today that you are not alone. 

That there is no such thing as a person who is too far from God. 

That the love of Jesus is the most revolutionary hope this world has ever seen. 

And that love is for you. 

Yes, you. 

You Are Loved.
