What if LOVE BLOOMED
in you & through you
no matter
wherever you are
or
whatever your circumstance
and
whether you
FELT LOVE
or not.
Well
LOVE ALWAYS BLOOMS
when you are
PLANTED IN JESUS
who
IS PERFECT LOVE
because
LOVE isn't a FEELING.
LOVE is
RECEIVING
WHAT GOD FEELS
about you
and what
HE did to show
HIS LOVE PERFECTLY~
"For GOD so LOVED the world that HE gave HIS one and only SON,
that whoever believes in HIM shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
Oh we know this TRUTH,
yet it is so hard to comprehend
that THIS LOVE
cost JESUS so much,
yet costs us nothing
but
to just
BELIEVE & RECEIVE
I have a such a hard time
RECEIVING
the GOOD
at times,
yet it is so easy for me to give.
Why is it?
PRIDE.
Yikes.
The dreaded "P" word,
even if it is dressed as
"I am not worthy" to RECEIVE.
It sounds like
HUMILITY
when really it is
PRIDE~
thinking too much of yourself
of what you BELIEVE about yourself
of what others BELIEVE about yourself.
And then you have
GOD who wants you to
BELIEVE what HE BELIEVES about you.
HIS PERFECT LOVE
that is
a FREE GIFT,
with no strings attached
except one~
TO RECEIVE
the
ONE
who is
PERFECT LOVE.
Could there also be a
FEAR to
RECEIVE LOVE,
because maybe just maybe
GOD
could not possibly
LOVE you
so why even give HIM a chance to
LOVE you.
BUT HIS
PERFECT LOVE
trumps all things
as it
drives out all
FEAR
because
FEAR has to do with punishment,
And if you are
PERFECTED IN HIS LOVE
then you will never be punished
because who punishes
someone
who has
RECEIVED
THE PERFECT LOVE
of the
one who wore RED on the CROSS
that covers all
the
PERFECTLY IMPERFECT parts of you & I
that read like a neon sign
shouting
NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
Oh RECEIVE
without question
because
you will never win
convincing GOD that
you are
NOT GOOD ENOUGH
to RECEIVE HIS SON
because
HE RECEIVES you
without question
because
"HE was wounded for our transgressions,
HE was crushed for our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing];
The punishment [required] for our well-being fell on HIM,
And by HIS stripes (wounds) we are healed.
All of us like sheep have gone astray,
We have turned, each one, to his own way;
But the LORD has caused the wickedness of us all [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing]
To fall on HIM [instead of us]" (Isaiah 53:5-6).
Oh
BLOOM IN HIS PERCET LOVE
just because
you are
"PERFECTLY LOVED"
