My love does not count your sins.

2 Corinthians 5:18-19
18 And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. 19 For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.  NLT

I know how hard it is sometimes for you to see yourself as I see you dear child. For you are all too aware of your own faults and failures and sometimes your own feelings of inadequacy speak louder to you than the finished work of My beloved Son.

But today I want to encourage you to see yourself as I do My little heir. For in My eyes, you are holy and blameless because of your forever union with Jesus. And if I am not counting your sins, neither should you. And since I have declared you innocent and free from condemnation, I don't want you to listen to lying voices of accusation that tell you otherwise.

It will take faith to believe this to be true because the broken world in which you live in will try and say you aren't loved and accepted as you are. But the good news is that you are perfectly loved right now and forevermore because My mercy triumphs over judgment. The more you become convinced of this reality yourself, the more you will become an ambassador of this wonderful message to all those around you.
