The more I get to know my Father (in heaven) the more I want to share Him... I grew up in a Christian home with parents who ministered Jesus to us day and night, so this is all I know and my mind cannot conceive how anyone can manage this life without His love, His mercy, His grace to carry us through the valleys and over the mountains. Where would I be without the love of God, where would I be???
"Love is most divine when it loves according to needs, and not according to merit"
"The love we have for our spouse, children, parents, families and friends is often love based on who they are, what they mean to us and how they make us feel. The Cross changes that love. It becomes deeper, unconditional love that loves even when those we are closest to to hurt us or make mistakes. It loves at all times... in all things... regardless of how we feel.
BECAUSE OF THE CROSS WE CAN HAVE THAT SAME LOVE FOR OTHERS WHO TOUCH OUR LIVES, OFTEN FROM A DISTANCE.
We can love the ungrateful, the unfair, the unjust, the imprisoned, the lonely, the homeless, the liar, the cheater, the thief, the murderer, the abuser, the adulterer, the addict, the disgruntled, the opionionated, the unlovely, the unloved.
When your heart is in God it can never be broken ... my life is a living testimony to that!
How can I love and still love after all that I have been through, experienced, endured? How can I be loved after all the mistakes I have made? Disappointments, hurt, heartache, emotional pain so unbearable that it feels sore??? How can I still love when I have been violated, intimidated, lied to, rejected??? How is it possible for a heart that was so torn up by anger & pain and lies and deceit, to be healed in an instant? How is it possible for a relationship that was so broken, to be restored in an instant?
It is possible! BECAUSE OF THE CROSS!!!!
