This morning…
I am so reminded of just how amazing God’s love and forgiveness means to me…
“I will put my laws in their minds so they will understand them and I will write them on their hearts so they will obey them. I will be their God and they will be my people. And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their family, saying “You should know the Lord” For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will already know me. And I will forgive their wrongdoings, and I will never again remember their sins..”
Hebrews 8:10b-11
He has written His love on our hearts…
He has pierced us with truth, love, and conviction of what is right and what hurts…
He has bent our hearts to Himself, and He has given us the freedom to choose whether we will walk toward Him, or away from Him.
And since He already knows me, all about me, how much more beautiful is it that we are cleansed and free of any, and all wrongdoings, and we are free from the sin that wants to hold us down, and tear away at all that is good…
You see, when we do wrong, something pulls at our heart-strings… That’s God. He wants the best for us, He wants us to be able to live in love. Walk in the light. Love other’s as ourselves and be excited about being close to Him…
And while I will never be free from the choice to do right or wrong… I am free from the bondage of carrying my bad decisions around my neck which weighs my heart down; and pulls me away from Your love…
Instead…
Each bad decision has brought me closer to You.. closer to Your love, and I thank You for that…
I am free in Christ. He chose us to know Him. Walk with Him. Trust Him…
He knew just how much our hearts would need His cleansing and forgiveness, so that’s what He provides… and that is the most amazing gift of love…
That is what love does, and God is love
May we walk today covered by His grace. Freed by His love, and strengthened by His goodness…
Dear, Heavenly Father, it is mind-blowing to know that when You created this world, You already knew all about me. You knew, and know, my comings and goings and You have never let me go… I so love You. I love that You have chosen to never remember my sin, and I am forever covered by Your grace. What Jesus did for me, for us; is so beautiful.
I thank You that because of His love, I am beautiful to You.
Today. I choose to walk toward You.
May Your love in my life keep drawing me into Your presence…
Thank You for Your grace, and all that You have written on my heart…
May I grow to want to know You more and more…
In Jesus precious Name,
Amen…
“If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love.
Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like Him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment..”
1 John 4:15-18
How I thank You for Your perfect love..
Have an awesome day!
Live in Love,
