When was the last time that you really laughed...
really laughed~
that belly laugh when your whole body is smiling?
It happened
when
I looked into the eyes of our grandson
who just discovered a
gurgle.
That's it,
a simple sound that kept rolling off his tongue,
even when hiccups tried to stop him,
he just kept going
and
I couldn't stop
laughing.
My whole body
smiling
because
of a gurgle...
because
I
was still
in the moment
absorbing what God had for me
at that moment~
something so simple
that brought me back to
His
simple truth of
I love you.
So simple
those three words
that can make your whole body smile.
What if you lived your day as
one who is loved
simply loved
unconditionally
just as you are
not as you think you should be...
right this second...
living as perfectly loved?
To really grasp it..
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. Ephesians 3:18-19
To be still
and
know
the
Love of God
for
you and for me...
so simple
like the innocence of a baby
who is just gurgling
and enjoying ever minute of it~
just because he can
just because I can
just because you can
because
You are Loved
beyond a shadow of a doubt~
no matter what~
Just because
you or I
make a mistake
doesn’t make us a mistake.
Just because someone rejects you or I
doesn’t make us a rejection.
Just because you or I
disappointed someone
doesn’t make us a disappointment~
Just because...
God says
You are mine Isaiah 43:1
His masterpiece Ephesians 2:10
His love endures forever Psalm 136:2
For God is love 1 John 4:8
It really is quite simple
and when you grasp it
you will do more than gurgle
you will belly laugh
&
your whole body will smile
as
His love replaces
all
Just because
His
Love
is
patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. I Corinthians 13: 4-8
So go ahead
and
just
Laugh
because that is what
His Word
is for you every day~
for
God
so
loved
the world...
which means you...
that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
Now doesn't that make your
whole body
smile!
