Jesus saw the worst in Me, But Still, He chose to Stay

I am not perfect. There are moments when I tend to blame Him for everything that happened in my life. I wrongly accused Him of all the bad things that I experienced. I doubted His love, and there are times when I let go of His hands and make decisions on my own. But despite everything that I did, Jesus still remained the same. He saw the worst in me, but He never condemned me or made me feel unworthy. He chose to stay with me even in moments when I couldn’t love Him back. He showed me how wide and deep His love is, even if I feel scared. I don’t know where I would be without Him. His grace is the only reason while I’m still fighting.

I owe everything to Jesus. I know that I am so weak and easily get tempted. I tend to rush the things that should’ve go through a long process. But every time I fail or commit mistakes, He picks me up and pushes me to move forward. He never brings back all the bad things I did. Instead, He reminds me about my true identity. Jesus is the one who brings out the best in me. I used to hate myself for committing things that dishonored His name. But He never blamed me for anything. He remained so patient. He waited until I was ready to accept His love and treat Him as the King of my heart.

His love pushed me to change. He taught me what His grace really means. He accepted me for who I am, and that alone gave me enough reason to also love others, even those people who broke my heart. It was not an easy step, but when I encounter His unfailing love, I feel so refreshed. It’s like He is giving me a new strength every single day. He made me feel secured and protected, and because of the blessings that He poured out for me, I managed to get up and learned to serve other people. It was all because of Him. It’s His faithfulness that gave me the courage to become a better person.

He is not just my Savior, but He is also my best friend. He listens to me when I need someone to talk to. When I am so confused with what’s happening around me, He always gives me the assurance the everything will be okay. I feel so relieved every time I feel His presence. He never abandoned me or made me feel lonely.
