God.
God loves.
God loves you.
Three complete sentences. Beginning to end – complete.
Author. Finisher. Life redeemer.
We don't have to have a sordid past to have an unhealthy
heart. Life exposes us to many mean things. Much of this hurt can lie far out
of our control too.
Don't close yourself off. Instead, do the work. Find hope and
healing at the cross. As we have just come through Easter weekend, I
consciously ignored the chocolate eggs and bunnies and focused my eyes on the old rugged cross.
We've all likely spent time reflecting on God's sacrifice on
that tree – but it didn't stop there – He is greater than even all that! Yes,
He knows even those things we think make us the most unlovable of all, and
yet...He loves us. He continues to indwell us.
Feeling condemned? Do you find yourself becoming cynical?
Recognize these as Satan’s lies.
God's method of healing a broken heart is to love it to
death. The result is a new heart left in its wake. One that can be filled with
faith instead of fear. Fear can be all consuming. The key is to be filled so
full of the Holy Spirit that there is no room for thoughts that choke the
life out of us.
Embrace the unfailing love of God; explore it till you know
it and can feel it. Then, share it with everyone around you. Let's not leave
anyone out from knowing His redeeming love. The one that goes beyond that day
on the cross. See Who He Is and know who you are!
“How great is the love
the Father lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!
And that we are!” 1 John 3:1
Press in and press on,
Giselle
