Why God Loves You

Ойын-сауық

God wants our brokenness. He wants everything that makes us imperfect in the eyes of the world. In this video, Fr. Mike Schmitz offers a relieving truth about God's paradoxical love for us, how he love us-not in spite of our weaknesses-but because of them. Find out why.

    "God doesn't need you to be perfect. He just wants you to be His." Wow. That was definitely something this perfectionist needed to hear. Thanks, Father Mike!

    Greg Aitchison That is unbiblical. The reason Jesus died was so that God could have communion with us. Without Jesus God could not stand to even look at us because He is so holy and we are so putrid. To say that God doesn’t need us to be perfect to interact with us defames God’s perfection and downplays the beauty of the Gospel

    @@GoProXadventures True Jesus said, "Be ye perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect." However that refers to after we become Christians. God calls imperfect people. Pay more attention to what Fr. Mike Schmitz is actually saying. It isn't unbiblical.

    Allah-there is no god except He. He will gather you to the Day of Resurrection, in which there is no doubt. And who speaks more truly than Allah? 68. Surely, your Lord is the Almighty, the Merciful. 69. And relate to them the story of Abraham. 70. When he said to his father and his people, “What do you worship?” 71. They said, “We worship idols, and we remain devoted to them.” 72. He said, “Do they hear you when you pray? 73. Or do they benefit you, or harm you?” 74. They said, “But we found our ancestors doing so.” 75. He said, “Have you considered what you worship. 76. You and your ancient ancestors? 77. They are enemies to me, but not so the Lord of the Worlds. 78. He who created me, and guides me. 79. He who feeds me, and waters me. 80. And when I get sick, He heals me. 81. He who makes me die, and then revives me. 82. He who, I hope, will forgive my sins on the Day of the Reckoning.” 83. “My Lord! Grant me wisdom, and include me with the righteous. 84. And give me a reputation of truth among the others. 85. And make me of the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss. 86. And forgive my father-he was one of the misguided. 87. And do not disgrace me on the Day they are resurrected. 88. The Day when neither wealth nor children will help. 89. Except for him who comes to Allah with a sound heart.” 90. And Paradise will be brought near for the righteous. 91. And the Blaze will be displayed to the deviators. 92. And it will be said to them, “Where are those you used to worship?” 93. Besides Allah? Can they help you, or help themselves?” 94. Then they will be toppled into it, together with the seducers. 95. And the soldiers of Satan, all of them. 96. They will say, as they feud in it. 97. “By Allah, We were in evident error. 98. For equating you with the Lord of the Worlds. 99. No one misled us except the sinners. 100. Now we have no intercessors. 101. And no sincere friend. 102. If only we could have another chance, we would be among the faithful.” 103. Surely in this is a sign, but most of them are not believers. 104. Your Lord is the Almighty, the Merciful. 213. So do not pray to another god with Allah, else you will be of those tormented. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1. Say, “He is Allah, the One. 2. Allah, the Absolute. 3. He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4. And there is none comparable to Him.” 48. Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives anything less than that to whomever He wills. Whoever associates anything with Allah has devised a monstrous sin. 54. And Lot, when he said to his people, “Do you commit lewdness with open eyes? 55. Do you lust after men instead of women? You are truly ignorant people.” 56. But the only response of his people was to say, “Expel the family of Lot from your town. They are purist people.” 57. So We saved him and his family, except for his wife, whom We destined to be among the laggards. 58. And We rained upon them a rain. Miserable was the rain of those forewarned. 59. Say, “Praise Allah, and peace be upon His servants whom He has selected. Is Allah better, or what they associate?” 60. Or, who created the heavens and the earth, and rains down water from the sky for you? With it We produce gardens full of beauty, whose trees you could not have produced. Is there another god with Allah? But they are a people who equate. 61. Or, who made the earth habitable, and made rivers flow through it, and set mountains on it, and placed a partition between the two seas? Is there another god with Allah? But most of them do not know. 62. Or, who answers the one in need when he prays to Him, and relieves adversity, and makes you successors on earth? Is there another god with Allah? How hardly you pay attention. 63. Or, who guides you through the darkness of land and sea, and who sends the winds as heralds of His mercy? Is there another god with Allah? Most exalted is Allah, above what they associate. 64. Or, who originates the creation and then repeats it, and who gives you livelihood from the sky and the earth? Is there another god with Allah? Say, “Produce your evidence, if you are truthful.” 65. Say, “No one in the heavens or on earth knows the future except Allah; and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected.” 66. In fact, their knowledge of the Hereafter is confused. In fact, they are in doubt about it. In fact, they are blind to it. 67. Those who disbelieve say, “When we have become dust, and our ancestors, shall we be brought out? 68. We were promised that before, we and our ancestors-these are nothing but legends of the ancients.” 69. Say, travel through the earth, and observe the fate of the guilty.” 70. But do not grieve over them, and do not be troubled by what they plot. 71. And they say, “When is this promise, if you are truthful?” 72. Say, “Perhaps some of what you are impatient for has drawn near.” 73. Your Lord is gracious towards humanity, but most of them are not thankful. 74. And your Lord knows what their hearts conceal, and what they reveal. 75. There is no mystery in the heaven and the earth, but it is in a Clear Book. 76. This Quran relates to the Children of Israel most of what they differ about. 77. And it is guidance and mercy for the believers. 78. Your Lord will judge between them by His wisdom. He is the Almighty, the All-Knowing. 79. So rely on Allah. You are upon the clear truth. 80. You cannot make the dead hear, nor can you make the deaf hear the call if they turn their backs and flee. 81. Nor can you guide the blind out of their straying. You can make no one listen, except those who believe in Our verses; for they are Muslims. 82. And when the Word has fallen on them, We will bring out for them from the earth a creature which will say to them that the people are uncertain of Our revelations. 83. On the Day when We gather from every community a group of those who rejected Our revelations; and they will be restrained. 84. Until, when they arrive, He will say, “Did you reject My revelations without comprehending them? Or what is it you were doing?” 85. The Word will come down upon them for their wrongdoing, and they will not speak. 86. Do they not see that We made the night for them to rest therein, and the day for visibility? Surely in that are signs for people who believe. 87. On the Day when the Trumpet is blown, everyone in the heavens and the earth will be horrified, except whomever Allah wills; and everyone will come before Him in humility. 88. And you see the mountains, and imagine them fixed, yet they pass, as the passing of the clouds-the making of Allah, who has perfected everything. He is fully Informed of what you do. 89. Whoever brings a virtue will receive better than it-and they will be safe from the horrors of that Day. 90. But whoever brings evil-their faces will be tumbled into the Fire. Will you be rewarded except for what you used to do? 91. “I was commanded to worship the Lord of this town, who has sanctified it, and to Whom everything belongs; and I was commanded to be of those who submit. 92. And to recite the Quran.” Whoever is guided-is guided to his own advantage. And whoever goes astray, then say, “I am one of the warners.” 93. And say, “Praise belongs to Allah; He will show you His signs, and you will recognize them. Your Lord is not heedless of what you do.”

My first marriage is been really difficult and my wife recently served me with papers. Since September, I have been all over the place with my emotions and actions. Tonight, I was really questioning why God loves me and I am really glad to see that you have a video on the topic. Bless you for your ministry, theological differences aside.

    Everytime I go threw dark times battling depression and bipolar when I forget to take my meds my emotions are unbearable in darkness it doesn’t help that I endure so much trauma as a kid and into my early 20s ethier but I always turn to god to take the wheel and say god I trust you do what you have to and I will trust you to walk with me in this storm and that he has a plan why I need to go threw that storm. But everytime I put on vids about god or I start to tell god it’s happening again because I skipped out on my meds, it just stops and I feel so happy and loved by god. Sometimes I feel like I’m getting wrapped in some type of blanket that’s so much light and love surrounding me like a barrier. Thank you for this vidoe it helped me so much to reach out to god and be like welp it’s about to get really dark for my mind and I’m gonna need strength and courage to get threw this and that I put my trust in him and all I feel is so much love and light. I honestly feel like god knows what I’ve gone threw with server trauma with my mom passing from cancer at 9 and then my dad at 16 where I had to perform cpr and died in front of me from a heart attack going into family’s getting certain types of abuse and domestic violence by an ex when I was 20 and when I reach out to god weather it’s threw videos of prayer he takes all that suffering away and silences the flashbacks the memory’s and it’s gone not permanently but for a good while. But reaching out to god should be a daily thing. We cant expect perfect results the first time it needs to be honestly reaching out in him asking for forgiveness mine would be for tattoos that I’ve gotten or silly things that I done with friends or family and being petty in immature arguments. Someone told me prayer is like not studying for the nursing exam but passed with As. That just isn’t possible. We have to study over and over to get the A for the exam. It’s the same way with prayer. It may not be like I prayed once and my whole life is perfect it’s just impossible it’s like nothing can be built in a day it takes time to decide when to I let god just take control of the ship of the wheel and when you do that god can be like I can come step in and do what I have to do even tho someone might like the end result it’s what’s best for them or needs to be done for them. That being said a great video and it really uplifted me today when it’s been a rough day. God is love and light always.

    I probably shouldn't say anything but here we go First of all who said your god created everything? What about all the others ideas about where the world came from? They are wrong because a book says so. What about all the other books that claim to have the truth? Let's assume the bible is real. If it really is the word of god why are there so many different interpretations of the bible. Some people use the bible to justify hate, and many other awful things. Who has the right interpretation? I suppose you could read it and find your own meaning but what makes yours right? i'm sure you could find just as much meaning in other holly books. Let's assume that the bible really is legit and god is real. God is supposed to be all powerful right? If god is all powerful why did he make us? How? did he make the universe or did it make him? What's the point in controlling us and making us feel pain? I understand that pain comes from sin or whatever, but why do we have the urge to sin? God is i control of everything so he could make us not want to sin or tell me to not sin directly in my head. If god is important to a persons life how come there are millions that live just fine without him, no better than a theist. How do you expect people to believe in god where there are no bibles? If god's real why did he make it so hard to believe in him? Here's the big one, how come our idea of who god is has changed so much throughout history? Books such as dante's inferno have introduced ideas that are no where to be found in the bible but people still associate I can't say there is no god but i am certain religions are total bs. I'm sure you can easily find a way to deny my points individually but when you look at all the flaws and put them together in context, i think you'll find that it's all bs Thanks for reading this. Please be respectful, if you have any problems reply and we can discuss them

    Its been a very bad start of the day. My brother and I have been fighting and arguing forever,and as much as we love each other,we also aren't the same. I am not perfect,I try to be the best and nicest person I can and always try to make sure everyone around me is happy too. And yet, a lot of people arent like that towards me and care for me like I care for them. My brother isn't very considerate to the people around him a lot but I love him for he is sometimes the best brother. I said some very bad things at him today with the evil voice I try keep down,I walked away crying and thought about what would God think of me. For the first time,I got on my knees and prayed to him and Jesus about how sorry I am as I am very lucky with the stuff I have and the house I live in and my great family,and I take that for granted quite a lot. I then found this video and I just can't stop crying tears of joy for what you have said. I don't know to believe in God or not but I wish for God to know if he exists that I am thankful for what I have.🙏

    I can tell you why I feel God loves me. I've been a sucker for doing grunt work, like saving a drowning kid, digging a well in Sudan, crawling into an upside down car to get a man to repent. All the while he left me with someone who terrorized me, stole my years, dreams, animals I loved and the hearts of my children. Apparently not one of his favorites because I can't rank...

    This really touches me. I let the cares of this world, the thorns and thistles choke The Word is immense ways with rationalizing over and over in my life. I'm very sad of how this hurt others; and unfortunately so many of these circumstances has left me in a position to pray for these others and leaving these things in Jesus Christ's hands Spiritually for healing and reconciliation. Obviously, I deserve the pain that this causes; but it gives me the Grace to have a forgiving attitude toward those who hurt me and praying for them. Knowing that Christ Jesus suffered so immensely for me, so undeserving helps me to be in awe of God's Love.
