 Can't Escape the Realty of God's Love

​

  Have you taken time to ponder the fathomless treasure of God’s love for you personally?    Are there “things” in the way of beholding His cherishing care for you?  Have you allowed disappointments to cloud your soul from seeing the truth?  Let me put it this way.  Is God’s love more of a mental acceptance or is it the very foundation of your life?  Are you rooted and grounded in God’s surpassing love for you?

    

  This matters.  Storms will come.  Trials will test you.   The devil will taunt you.  Confusions will appear.  Alternative paths will be presented.  Your vulnerabilities will be exploited.  Hey, these are the last days before Christ’s return.  It is full on warfare.  The devil is running out of time.  Don’t be asleep at the wheel and drive off the road. 

    

   Knowing God’s love for you has keeping power.  When His love is embraced by you, owned by you, treasured by you, you live differently.  You discover wholeness and calm amidst the ups and downs in a bumpy life.  When you get good at holding His hand and putting your trust in Him daily, His Spirit steps in.  Your heart’s cries are answered.  Peace reigns.  Love is felt. Joy undergirds your soul. 

    

  When you live distracted, anxiety dominates.  Depression breathes down your neck.  “What’s going to happen to me” breeds worry.  Thankfulness is snatched right out of your soul. 

    

  We can stop that junk.  Training your heart to give thanks in every situation is truly the foundation of spiritual victory.   God is not the size of a demon.  He isn’t small.  He is Almighty forever.  Grab ahold of Him and never let go.  Get to where you can’t escape the reality of God’s love for you.  Your soul will be content.  Make Him your portion.  We are underserving, but He meets us with new mercies every morning.  That’s His thing.  We’ve got to get this right down here.  Get good at living in His love.  Why?  A special day is coming.  On that day you will step into eternity and look into the eyes of the One who loves you the most.  You will know it will have been worth it all.
