Q: Are you available for 30 minutes to sing on the steps of City Hall to celebrate our National Day of Prayer? Date: Thursday, May 3rd at noon. Our country needs a LOT of prayer right now. Will you join me? Details are still in the works, but I wanted to see who might be willing to sing during the lunch hour before going any further.
Dear Choir and Orchestra,
Love this devotional, especially as we are all “performers” to a certain degree. May God bless you as you live and “perform” in His unfailing love. Hugs, Scott

I Love You regardless of how well you are performing. Sometimes you feel uneasy, wondering if you are doing enough to be worthy of My Love. No matter how exemplary your behavior, the answer to that question will always be no. Your performance and My Love are totally different issues, which you need to sort out. I love you with an everlasting Love that flows out from eternity without limits or conditions. I have clothed you in My robe of righteousness, and this is an eternal transaction: Nothing and no one can reverse it. Therefore, your accomplishment as a Christian has no bearing on My Love for you. Even your ability to assess how well you are doing on a given day is flawed. Your limited human perspective and the condition of your body, with its mercurial variations, distort your evaluations.
Bring your performance anxiety to Me, and receive in its place My unfailing Love. Try to stay conscious of My loving Presence with you in all that you do, and I will direct your steps.
Jeremiah 31:3 3 The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.
Isaiah 61:10 10 I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Psalm 31:1616 Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love.
Psalm 107:8 8 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men,
