GOD WANTS YOU

GOD WANTS YOU

Deuteronomy 6:4-5 (NKJV) Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one! 5 You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

God wants you! That is right. God wants you to have an intimate relationship with Him. He does not want just one part of you; He wants all of you. Think of what you get in return. You get a fellowship with the Creator, the One that made you and me! He wants all of us so that we can have all of Him. Now when I say all, I know that God is so huge that it is not possible for any of us to have all of Him, but He wants us to have all that we can handle of Him.

This verse tells us that God wants us to love Him with all of our heart, and all of our soul, and all of our strength. Well, that is all of us, so my Father wants all of me. He loves me so dearly that He wants the complete person, and even with all of my shortcomings and all of my distractions, the Creator of the universe loves me and wants all of me.

I am overwhelmed, at times, by the love God has for me. The Creator of all, (Who does not need anything because He is so complete) loves me so dearly that He wants me to love Him, and this is all because of Jesus. When Jesus died on the cross, He took all of my shame and my separation from the Father. He did it so that I could be totally restored to Abba.

This is so over-the-top that it is hard for our little minds to take it in, but this is where we must receive it by faith and not by our feelings. In other words, if God says that He loves me this intensely, then I am going to live life just like it is so.

So today, do not look at your shortcomings, look to Jesus’ perfection, and know that the Father sees you just like that: complete and totally loved!

CONFESSION: I love the Lord my God with all of my heart, all of my soul, and all of my strength. God is truly in love with me, and I am truly in love with Him!

I Will Guide You

Wholeheartedly agree!

And add a amen!

God Bless.

"Life is confusing! If you try to follow the advice of this world, you will feel like you are running around in circles. What we need is not another self-help program but we need wisdom that only comes from the Lord. He promises to instruct us when we surrender our lives over to him. He will show us the way to go and keep his watchful eye on our steps. \n"

I Have Told You

I believe this but I also understand just how hard this is to accomplish. 

Be encouraged. 

God Bless.

" I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” (NLT)" -John 16:33

"We have to stay grounded in the following truth: God is our peace, our provision, he gives us the strength to love those we see as our enemies, we can trust in him alone, and the primary mission of our lives is to seek God first. This can help us navigate the difficult spaces in our culture with peace, wisdom, and love. When we keep it simple and focus on loving God and loving others, it is in these small acts of faithful obedience that God can do miracles."

Faithfulness

Amen!

God Bless.

Quote of the Day -Joyce Meyer

“Faithfulness is not doing something right once but doing something right over and over and over and over.” 

– Joyce Meyer

The Fear Of God

This bares repeating. 

God Bless.

There is in the Bible a "fear of God" that is holy reverance and a desire to avoid offending him or suffering his judgment or discipline. That kind of fear is compatible with love and helps us depart from iniquity. But faithless fear, of man, of life events, or of God based on false ideas, is incompatible with love of God.There is in the Bible a "fear of God" that is holy reverance and a desire to avoid offending him or suffering his judgment or discipline.
