What God Wants Most For You

“God loves you very much. But God also loves Himself, because to do anything less would mean not being God. More than any of us, God knows how valuable He is. He knows He’s God. He knows He’s central. As a result, He values Himself most.

No, He’s not egotistical, thinking more highly of Himself than He should. He’s the only God, thinking of Himself as He truly is. But God’s centrality hasn’t stopped Him from loving you with the greatest love known to man. And through the death of His Son, God has made a way for you to return to His loving arms, washed clean and forgiven because of the price He paid at the cross of Jesus Christ. Where your spirit was once dormant because of sin, God seeks to stir your soul to life again, giving you the capacity to walk in intimacy with Him. Restoring your ability to worship with all your heart. God tells us we were redeemed “that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” God loves turning rebels into worshipers – for what could possibly bring Him more glory than that? What God wants most for you is for you to have a worthy God. Only then will you live a full and satisfying life.
