A Love Letter from Your Father

Much of what the world values is very insignificant compared to what I hold in high esteem. Our relationship is the most important component above anything else this world has to offer. You allowing me in every space of your life touching the places only you and I know about. I was desperate for your love I allowed myself to be severely beaten, insulted, and finally nailed to the cross all because I wanted a relationship with you. That one act made you the righteousness of God, you are priceless. My love for you is like no other it can not be duplicated. Our relationship is the most significant one you can ever have, cherish and cultivate it. If I went to the cross for you why wouldn’t I take care of you now? Every good gift is from me. I know what is best for you and will never allow you to fail. You are in the palm of my hands, the apple of my eye, engraved on my heart. I constantly think of you. Bring all your cares and worries to me I will handle your life its too much for you to carry. Submitting to death on the cross broke every sin and curse so that I can love you like no other. Will you accept and believe in this love and allow me to care for you?

“I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with loving kindness, I have drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you. Jerm 31:3 AMP

God is LOVE

I Cor 13:4-7

Many people have their perspective on the meaning of love based on how others have treated them. God being love provided us a clear meaning of true love through His Son Jesus Christ, he wanted us to know just how we are dearly prized and adored. I believe the world is crying out for God’s love and don’t even realize it. If we really focused and received a revelation of God’s love for us it would free us from the strongholds in our life that the enemy uses to destroy us. I just wanted to remind you today how greatly loved you are.

God is patient and kind towards us, he is never envious or boasts although he has every right. He isn’t arrogant in the power he possesses but always deals with us lovingly even in a correction. He is not rude by causing evil things to occur or exposing our weaknesses.  He is gentle allowing his greatest creation to make the decision to love Him. He doesn’t become irritated even when we make the same bad decisions repeatedly. He never holds our sins against us, as a matter of fact, He paid for them so we are free from judgment. He does not rejoice in our mistakes but brings us back to him in love by reminding us just how much we mean to Him. Jesus bore all sufferings, pain, and diseases in expectant hope that we would accept His free gift of Grace. Jesus love is unique and can never be duplicated its unfathomable. And although we are unable to fully understand it we seek and crave for it daily. God’s love is the only love that will fill every need and desire. My prayer is that we will “grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love Christ.” Ephe 3:18 NIV

For this reason, I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephe 3:14-19 NIV

You Are the Light of the World

The Light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness did not understand it or overpower it or appropriate it or absorb it [and is unreceptive to it]. John 1:5 AMP

Are there dark situations in your life that you are struggling with? Whatever it may be I need you to remember one thing, “you are light.” The darkness or situation will not overtake you. Your light may seem buried right now but it's still there. As you learn more about God’s love for you your light will manifest itself even more as you realize who you are in Christ. Don’t lose hope God is on your side. His love demonstrated on the cross is more powerful than any circumstance. Trust and believe that God is working for you and not against you. Give Him every situation, in exchange, you will receive peace, joy, and restoration. You will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Jesus sacrifice on the cross placed us in right relationship with the Father to receive His every promise. So stand on the Word of God today with the confidence that His light shines brightly in you overcoming the darkness.

I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you. I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you. Gen 17: 6-7 AMP

For you formed my innermost parts; You knit me [together] in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. Psalm 139:13-14 AMP

In case no one has ever told you, you are wonderful. Yes, simply amazing. You don’t have to believe me but it's important for you to believe God. The Lord says “heaven and earth will pass away but my Word will remain.” Jesus was assuring us that we can stand firm and believe in the Word of God. So when God tells you that you are wonderful you can believe that you are astounding, awe-inspiring, brilliant, fabulous, fantastic, incredible, magnificent, and outstanding. You are all these things and more because of the great value placed on your life through Jesus Christ sacrifice. Very few things in life are guaranteed but the Word of God is 100% pure so you can rest your hope and confidence in the Father’s precious Word. Change your daily status to “masterpiece” (write it on your mirror) all for the glory and honor of God so others will see you and know you serve the only true and living God.

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10 NLT

What Do You Believe?

When the Word of God speaks about Jesus wonderful healing power its always demonstrated by Jesus thanking God for the healing or declaring it to take place. His words are simple and direct. On one occasion the Bible records how a woman with an issue of hemorrhaging for 18 years dared to touch the hem of Jesus robe believing that He had the authority and power to make her whole. Jesus response to the woman is a lesson for us all He said “daughter your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over”(Mark 5:32 NLV). In essence, Jesus was saying “now that you have exhausted all of your means you have placed your faith or belief system in the right place.” What man could not do for her in 18 years Jesus did for her in one moment with one touch. What do you believe as it relates to God? Do you believe that God’s love for you is irrevocable? Do you know emphatically that you are the righteousness of God? The Word tells us, ”for the eyes of the Lord roam throughout the earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is fully devoted to him" (2 Chron 16:19 Berean). Being fully devoted to God means we recognize our dependence on Him and Him alone. We have to see ourselves as lost sheep needing a shepherd, otherwise, we will continue to wander and be lost in the things of the world. Aren’t you glad that you have a Savior to depend on for all things? Isn't it refreshing to know that you don't have to carry the burdens of life? Everything that you desire is through Christ, healing, deliverance, peace, and joy. The Grace of God will never fail it is the crux of the Gospel of faith. (Jude 1:1-4) So rest in his love for you, you are the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus, that’s how God will always see you and bless you. (Romans 3:22)

Declaration 

Not only what you speak but what you believe produces the fruit of Christ. Declare, I am the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ!!!  2 Cor 5:21

So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free. 

John 8:36 NLT

Many people refuse to live under the guidance of God’s Word, they feel it is too restrictive to the lifestyle they desire. However, what many don’t realize is not living by the guidance of the Holy Spirit is not freedom but bondage. The first picture in the Bible of true freedom comes from the Garden of Eden, God provided everything for Adam and Eve all they had to do was enjoy the provisions. They were given instructions that set boundaries around their relationship with God, eat of ALL the trees in the garden with the exception of one, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Remember they were given free choice just as we have today. Unfortunately, our first parents chose to disobey, their disobedience formed a bridge in our relationship with God called sin. But out of God’s love, he provided a way out for us through Jesus precious blood on the cross destroying the power of sin in our lives. The enemy still works to steal, kill and destroy he wants nothing more but to bring mankind to his level of ultimate destruction. But Jesus came to bring us life. (John 10:10) God isn’t holding anything from us he is actually protecting us and giving us instructions to live a life of purpose and peace. God is a God of love and takes pleasure in His children desiring them to prosper in every area of their life. (Psalm 35:27) Living your life in the obedience and guidance of God will always unfold promise, peace, and provisions from the hands of the Father. 

Thought

True freedom is only obtained through the righteousness of God, freely given to us by Jesus sacrifice on the cross its called GRACE.

Are You Looking for True Love?

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow--not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. (Romans 8:38 NLT)

In a world that is always changing there is one thing we can stand on, God’s love. Even when Adam and Eve disobeyed in the Garden of Eden it did not diminish the love the Father has for each of us. Yes, man failed but God still desired a personal relationship with His children, so much so that he sacrificed his Son allowing Him to take on our judgment so we could be in perfect standing with God. Jesus released His sovereignty for humanity and allowed mankind to reject, humiliate, torture and nail Him to a cross. Why would he go through such extreme measures, there is only one response “love.” No mistakes, sin or circumstances will ever change the love that God has for you, he cannot love you any more than he does right now. So what should our response be to this indescribable love? Accepting it for what it is, a free gift from the only true and living God. In I Peter 4:8 it tells us, “love covers over a multitude of sins.” That is exactly what Jesus love did for us on the cross, it covered every sin we would ever commit past and future. His precious blood removed our sin so we can have peace and intimacy in our relationship with God. Every promise hinges on God’s love, it is the foundation that allows us to experience the abundant life God has planned for each of us. And one of the best ways to express our gratitude is to extend love to others by telling them just how awesome God really is.  

God’s Promise to YOU

People leave you out, God’s love is still the same. You mess up, God’s grace abides even more. You can not get away from Him, he will leave the ninety-nine to find the one lost sheep. (Matt 18:12-14) 

How precious is our God.

I am the faithful one. 

(I Cor 1:9 NET)
