God wants you to focus on
His
love for you. Therefore, the questions you should be asking yourself are:
“Do I know how much God loves me today?”
    “Do I really believe that God loves me right now?”
    You need to remind yourself of God’s love especially when you have just failed. Do you believe that He loves you when you have just made a mistake? This is where the rubber meets the road. After you have failed, that is when what you really believe about God’s love for you is tested. Do you really believe that His love for you is truly and indeed unconditional? Or has the unconditional love of God become merely a platitude that is no longer something real to you? I see this happen all the time. I hear people say, “God’s love is unconditional!” But the moment they fail, all of a sudden the love they once said was unconditional becomes contingent upon their behavior.
    Many believe that God loves them when they do right, but stops loving them the moment they do something wrong. I’m going to shatter that wrong belief into smithereens with the truth of God’s Word!
    While our love for God can fluctuate, His love for us always remains constant. His love for us is based on who He is and not based on what we do. I love just how confident and emphatic the apostle Paul is when he says, “For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom. 8:38–39). In the New International Version, it says, “For I am convinced…”
    While our love for God can fluctuate, His love for us always remains constant. His love for us is based on who He is and not based on what we do.
    Are you
persuaded
and
convinced
the way the apostle Paul is that as a child of God, nothing, not even your sins, failings, and mistakes, can ever separate you from the love of God? Don’t go by what you feel, think, or have been taught. God’s Word proclaims in no uncertain terms that nothing can separate you from His love. Nothing means
nothing
! His love for you is not contingent on your immaculate performance. He loves you even in your failings. That’s why it is called grace! It is the undeserved, unmerited, and unearned favor of God. If you can deserve God’s grace, then it is no longer grace.
    Power to Overcome Every Failing
    The truth is, if you are able to receive His love afresh whenever you fail, you will have the power to overcome that failing in your life. Let’s imagine a situation in which you have just lost your temper at your wife over a family situation. In your frustration and anger, perhaps you said some hurtful things that you know you shouldn’t have, and a heated exchange of harsh and unkind words results. A cold war breaks out in the house, and your kids run for cover. Now you are feeling terribly guilty for what you started, and your conscience condemns you:
How can you speak that way to your wife?
    What kind of a believer are you?
    What a terrible example you are setting for your children!
    The more you dwell in guilt, the worse it gets and the more angry you become with your wife—it’s all
her
fault that you feel so lousy and guilty now. Because of
her
, you believe that you are now cut off from God’s love. You think—completely wrongly—that He is mad at you because you were mad at your wife. Why? Because while you may
know
about His unconditional love in your mind, you don’t really
believe
in your heart that His love for you is truly unconditional.
    My friend, if you could only see the truth that even in your anger, God still loves you perfectly. If you could see that the blood of His Son has already washed away that sin in your life. If youcould grasp the fact that even in all your ugliness, He still sees you righteous in His sight and calls you His beloved. The truth is, if you truly knew how freely
