The God Kind of Love

My child, I love you!

Love. What does that word conjure up in your mind? Maybe you have experienced love that hurt or love that was selfish or love that was demanding or judgmental or jealous. I am sorry that you have experienced love that was not good for you.

I want to show you the God kind of love. This love is unconditional, sacrificial, and unselfish. I loved you so much that I laid down my life for you. I wanted you to be with me forever. My kind of love isn't dependent on whether you measure up, how pretty you are, or how much you love me. My kind of love saw you in your nakedness, in your shame, in your sin, and loved you anyway. I loved you before you ever knew me. I love you!

This love is patient and kind. It is not jealous, boastful, proud, or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable and keeps not record of wrongs. This love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

Nothing you can do will change how much I love you. Nothing you can say will keep my love from you. Nothing can separate you from my love. Not death or life, not angels or demons, not fears for today or worries for tomorrow. Not even the powers of hell can separate you from my love. Not one thing! Nothing in all creation can separate you from the love of God that is revealed in me, Christ Jesus your Lord.

Come to me and let me show you this awesome God kind of love! As I pour my love into you, it can't help but spill over into others around you. I love you! My plan is for the whole world to experience my love and the love of those who know me. It starts with you accepting the sacrifice I did for you on the cross, soaking in my love and sharing it with those around you. Love like this transforms lives. I love you!

(I Corinthians 13:4-7 and Romans 8:38-39)

New Every Morning!

The Master says, "My child, I love you! I make all things new! Every morning is a new opportunity to enjoy my presence and enjoy who I created you to be. Step out boldly and embrace all I have for you this day. Don't hang back thinking you don't have what you need or are inadequate. I have given you everything you need for today. Every morning is a new day. Don't worry about what happened yesterday or what might happen tomorrow. TODAY is the day I have made! It is a clean slate if you let it. Let go of what happened in the past and let go of worry of what might happen in the future. Embrace today by asking me to forgive you for anything you might have done wrong yesterday. When you do that, I take your mistakes and turn them into something good. That's why my mercies are new every morning. I love to take your human failings and turn them into good. I work everything out for good in your life and in the lives of those around you as you submit it all to me and let me

Peter in the Boat - Matthew 12:22-33

Jesus, why did you wait to calm the waves when Peter got out of the boat to walk on the water? I wanted Peter to know how to keep coming to Me, keep doing what he is called to do even when the storms around him were huge. I wanted him to see that as long as he keeps his focus on Me and not on his circumstances, he won't sink into the storm and be swallowed up. And if you know the rest of his life after I ascended into heaven, you can see he wasn't afraid of the storm any longer. I wanted you to know, My Child, that the waves and winds of fear will never overtake you when your eyes are fixed on Me. Rise above the wind and waves and step out of the boat. You will never regret it. The boat is your human structure that is tossed and turned by every wind. My structure is to keep your eyes on me and no matter what is going on in the natural, it can't harm you. Don't let the mission be thwarted by fear and doubt. When I say, "Come," come even if fear seems bigger

Come to Me!

Come to Me all who are weary and facing a heavy burden. I long for you to come and rest in Me. I long to hold you and comfort you when things don't go like you want them to go. I am waiting with open arms to embrace you when you have failed or made a mistake. I do not condemn you. I love you! Embrace all that I have created you to be. If you have made a mistake or a wrong choice, repent, turn around, and start again. Your past does not define you. Your mistakes do not define you. You are a child of a King. You are precious. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You have a hope and a future! It is never too late to come to Me and allow me to wash away all the things that keep you from Me. I will brush it all off and give you a new beginning with a clean slate. Forget what is behind and embrace what is ahead.
