Meditate on the moment that you realized God loves you more than you could ever love him back and accepted it. Many times people confuse being saved with this process and salvation alone is the one moment that changes everything forever. This moment can be later or maybe now… it’s when you began to understand the priceless gift of love, life eternal and accepted it into your heart. Did you know that you can be saved and not accept the wholeness of your salvation? Think about it, have you accepted that God chose you (not everyone, thgis IS about you) you alone, that He loved you, or even that the thought of you apart from Him for all eternity pained Him so much, that He sacrificed His Son Jesus to make a way to be with you? Jesus (God with skin on as Eli says) loved you and was literally torn in flesh for you, accepted each nail for you and in His last breath prayed a blessing for you… can you take that in? Can you accept that you are worthy, you are precious, you are beautiful, you are adored, you are cherished and you are complete in Him. He has a plan for you, has given you gifts to share and made you exactly the way He needs and wants you to be. He cares enough for you to provide all of your needs, give you all the wants He knows you can handle and loves you enough to make sure that you are disciplined, grown and stretched to His glory.
What God isn’t… is everything else.
He alone is pure, holy and worthy of our adoration. He gives freely, loves without condition and provides hope in all situations.
I have struggled with the worldly views of that I have placed on God from my life experiences, my earthly father and hurts in my life. I viewed God as a performance-based God. As long as I was happy and successful on the outside nothing else mattered it was the outside picture I thought God cared about but now to His glory, I know that he cares only about my insides and the condition of my heart.
I urge you to evaluate your views and let God show you if you have expectations, worldly views or a distorted view of God. Let Him reveal Himself in His ways and in His glorious appearing in all situations.
I pray that we all will know Him as He wants us to and that we will long to be with Him more and more each moment. That we will strive to learn His ways and love with His love, receive his peace and bask in His joy. That we all would live complete in His lavish gift of our personal salvation.
