There
is nothing in the created world or in the supernatural world, which can
separate us from the love of God (Romans 8:38-39). God's love is not one
dimensional; it is four-square.
It
has height, depth, width and length, and is an abundance of all-encompassing
love. God's love fulfills our life and endows us with non-paralleled, unfathomable
gratification (Psalm 107:43).
We
not only know about His love in our mind, but we can also feel it and
experience it through His wondrous gifts and blessings, which He showers on us
each and every day.
God's
love accompanies His presence within our Born Again spirit. We bask in His
fullness each moment of the day, and we walk in His Spirit throughout our
lifetime (Galatians 5:15-25).
Even
though our King Jesus sits on His throne at the right hand of our Father God,
He also lives in us by His Spirit (Mark 16:19; Colossians 1:27). His love frees
us from fear and anxiety (1 John 4:18).
We
maintain our faith in God's faithfulness, and we look for the seed of a miracle
in the midst of every trial. We know without a doubt that He will work out everything
for our ultimate good (Psalm 118:1; Romans 8:28).
We
prove our love for God by obeying His commandments (John 14:21-23). They are
not constructed to restrict our life, but to keep us healthy, joyful and in the
center of His love.
The
fruit of our obedience is an open door between us and God, so that His love
pours over us like a waterfall every day of our life. Our joy is full, because
Christ dwells within us (Psalm 16:11; Colossians 1:27).
Prayer:
Father
God, in the abundance of Your love for us, we live in contentment regardless of
our circumstances (Philippians 4:11; Ephesians 5:20). We gratefully count our
blessings, which never end, rather than taking them for granted (Psalm 103:2).
We
surrender to Christ in us and enter into Your rest. We resist the human
tendency to interrupt our joy, shatter our serenity or rush the fellowship of
our time in Your presence (Hebrews 4:10). We effortlessly float in the river of
Your love and allow Your Spirit to move us along according to Your will and
purpose for our life.
Thought
for the Day:
When
we realize that nothing this world has to offer is more fulfilling than the
gift of love from Calvary's cross, we fall on our face in repentance and then rise
up to worship our living God. - John 3:16-17
