Day 24: Love Words


As I was reading

GOD'S WORD,

I came upon

WORDS as if I have never read them before,

even though I have read the verses a gazillion times.

But this time

THE WORDS

pierced my HEART like never before,

as they have brought me to the end of myself,

but a good end of myself,

because that is what GOD'S WORD does,

"For the WORD OF GOD is living and active and

full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective].

It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating

as far as the division of the soul and

spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and

marrow [the deepest parts of our nature],

exposing and judging the very thoughts and

intentions of the heart"

(Hebrews 4:12).

GOD'S WORD is the PERFECT balance of

GRACE & TRUTH,

that gets to

THE HEART~

the CORE of your being~

that BEATS LIFE throughout your being.

Therefore,

GOD'S WORD is HIS INVITATION,

tailored to your own HEART,

as it SPEAKS to what your HEART needs

in this present moment.

For GOD'S WORD is ALWAYS TIMELY,

because GOD is about RIGHT NOW.

So what do you do when GOD'S WORD pierces your HEART?

Do you RECEIVE it with HIS GRACE

and RESPOND by

following what GOD is SPEAKING to your HEART?

Or do you run the other way,

because you feel like

GOD is CONDEMNING you?

Oh my friend,

GOD'S WORD performs

a surgery of your HEART

that is LIFE GIVING.

It rids you of the parts of you that

GOD wants to take away from you,

so HE can FILL you with

MORE of HIM,

that is

ALWAYS about

HIS LOVE.

A LOVE that I always want to display,

yet because I am so human

it is an impossible task to do on my own.

And that is why

I NEED JESUS

and

THE HOLY SPIRIT,

who takes

GOD'S WORDS

to pierce my HEART

in any given moment with such GRACE & TRUTH,

so that all I want to do

is to RESPOND to HIS LOVE WORDS

by LOVING the way that

HE LOVES~

"LOVE endures with patience and serenity, LOVE is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; LOVE does not brag and is not proud or arrogant. It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered];

it does not take into account a wrong endured"

(1 Corinthians 13:4-5, AMP).

GOD'S LOVE LANGUAGE~

GRACE & TRUTH

laced with

HIS LOVE

that is poured over all the pages of the

BIBLE,

that have once again

pierced my

HEART this morning,

as if I have read them for the first time,

yet I have read them a gazillion times.

But because GOD so LOVES me

and

GOD so LOVES you,

HE wants ALL OF our HEARTS,

and

HE will go to great lengths to

breathe

HIS WORDS OF TRUTH

into our HEART,

that become

LIFE TRANSFORMING.

Because

when GOD'S WORDS pierce your HEART,

you experience

HIS GRACE

that makes you want to

SURRENDER ALL of you

by doing

LIFE HIS WAY.

What LIFE CHANGING GOD WORDS

do you need to pierce your precious HEART

so that you will not just READ them

but

BELIEVE THEM

as you

"TAKE GOD AT HIS WORD"?
