Love

Do you always feel the Lord's love for you? Do you ever think He has left you? I've always seen the Lord as perfect. He is my Perfect Father, my Perfect husband, and He is the only One who can love me completely. I have a friend, my best friend in some respects, who doesn't feel His love always. He can say that the Lord loves me. He can tell the kids he takes care of that the Lord loves them, but when it comes to himself it's not the same. He see's the Lord as an extension of his imperfect father.

None of us are worthy of the love Christ has for us. No man is deserving of the love and grace and mercy that He gives us. But it doesn't mean He isn't giving it. God is a jealous God. He loves us so much that He is jealous for our affections. I don't know if you have, but I have loved someone and been jealous of their time, and love. If you have then you understand.

God wants everything. Our hearts and our minds and He wants to be the center of our lives. He wants to see us grow and show the same mercy and love and forgiveness to others that He shows us. We are so undeserving of those things and yet, we cast judgment and decide who and when people get mercy and love and forgiveness from us. The Lord is IN LOVE with us. We are His. He is my perfect Parent. He loves me, He always has my back, but when I do something fool hearty, I am rebuked. He disciplines as a loving parent disciplines. How awesome to have that Perfection in my corner! How amazing to know that even when I feel unloved or not good enough or lonely there He is!

When I am lonely He is there, all I have to do is call out to Him. When I am tired and I feel burnt out, I can call Him. When I need rest and I am bogged down... Yep I call Him! I have been His child since day one. My earthy fathers have in some way let me down. Oh I love them, but they are far from perfect. My Heavenly Father NEVER leaves me, NEVER abuses me, NEVER lets me down. He ALWAYS gives me good council, ALWAYS rebukes me gently, ALWAYS answers me.

I am never truly alone. My love, my heart, my God, my ever faithful Father. I am so blessed to be His. Please know, He loves you so much. Every breath, every step, is amazing. You are His child too and He is so in love with you! Brothers and sisters take heart! He will NEVER leave you! He is with you ALWAYS! You are His now and forever!
Don't fight it, He won't ever stop. Be blessed this Christmas and share and enjoy the true and wonderful love of Christ!
