When I reflect on my life, I realise that so many of our experiences revolve around people trying to prove how worthy of love they are.
Social media has made it even worse. People feel the need to convince the world of how loved they are, how desirable they are, and how much they matter. We showcase the love we receive, hoping that somehow, the world will affirm our worth.
But the unfortunate truth is that the world will continually remind us of how unworthy we are of love.
And yet, there is a love that defies this world’s standards. A love that cannot be earned, bought, or secured by our achievements, appearance, relationships, or social standing.
It is the love of Jesus Christ, who paid the price for us on Calvary.
While the world demands that we prove our worthiness, the cross reminds us that we are loved by grace.
Perhaps the greatest tragedy is that we spend so much of our lives trying to prove that we are worthy of a love that God has already freely offered us.
