One day as I was walking along a
highway through a park praying, I asked a simple question, "Lord, what
do You want me to tell Your people?" Without a moment's hesitation,
these words came ringing through my spirit and my mind:
Tell them how much I love them.
They
were so filled with love and compassion that it defies words to express
it. For days afterward all I could think of was 1 John 4:16. "And we
have known and believed the love that God hath to us."
We've read
about God's love. We've heard about it. But I don't think many of us
have really believed it. If we did, it would totally change everything
about us and everything around us.
It's that love that caused
Jesus to lay down His life for us and to experience for Himself all the
pains and weaknesses we experience. It's that love that says to us, even
when we feel so unworthy, Come to Me and get what you need. Don't
be shy about it. I've been there. Come boldly to the throne of grace
that you may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Think
about it. God is in love with you—so in love, He's given you everything
He has! He's given you all the healing, all the wisdom, all the wealth,
all the strength you could ever need.
"But what about my terrible past?"
That's
what His mercy is for! It's taken care of your past. It's covered every
sin and failure you ever had. All you have to do now is believe and
receive His love.
What a shame it is that people suffer at the
hands of sickness and disease and every other cursed thing just because
they can't believe the love God has for them. Don't let that happen to
you. Learn to believe the love.
Believe the love God has for you. It's already been released in the blood of Jesus.
Believe the love. It's already been released in Jesus' Name.
Believe the love. It's already been released in His Word.
Meditate
that scripture over and over. Say it to yourself again and again all
day, "I believe the love Jesus has for me." Once it gets down into your
heart, you'll never be the same again.
