He looks into your heart

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1 ESV)

 When you’re in confusion or despair or you feel like you’ve really messed up, that’s when you see that Jesus loves you—not your works or your accomplishments or your abilities. He loves you just because you’re His.
 God loves you just because you’re His child, and He sees past your failures and confusion and doubts and sins. He looks into your heart and He sees the beauty there, even if you don’t know it exists.
 Even in the times of your deepest despair, He has promised to be there with you, protecting you, comforting you, and loving you.
 Remember that discouragement, defeat, suffering, pain, and hurt do not have to separate you from the Lord; instead, these are meant to bring you closer to Him. You have to experience the times of humbling so He can in due time exalt you.
 Challenging times are meant to be stepping stones to a closer walk with the Lord, and onwards to greater faith and victory! He requires a lot of us, but He gives us the strength to meet those demands. He requires your all—heart, soul, body, mind, and strength. But He gives all in return. If you give Him your love, your obedience, and your life, He will give you His power and might and strength and anointing. —Peter Amsterdam [1]

 We are in God's hands, in good hands, we need not fear anything, but only trust in the Lord, who guides our personal journey and the history of the world toward a definite fullness. —Maurizio De Sanctis
