MY DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER LOVES ME, PART 1
Before we even start the Pearls of Wisdom today, let’s confess together the following at least three times:
MY DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER LOVES ME. MY LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO IS MY SAVIOR LOVES ME. THE HOLY SPIRIT LOVES ME.
Today I am reminded of just how much God Almighty loves me and each person on this earth, whether they have accepted Him or not and whether they love Him or not. I stand in awe of that kind of love. Let’s read and confess some of the scriptures that talk about His love.
In Romans 5:5, NEW LIVING TRANSLATION we read this:
…For we know how dearly God loves us, because He has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
What a powerful statement. God Almighty has given me His Holy Spirit, His Spirit, to fill my heart, overflow my heart, pour forth into my heart His love. I haven’t done anything to deserve it. I can’t do anything to earn it. He has simply given me His love as His gift to me. He has given me Himself. And what is my part? I have only one thing to do. I receive, I accept His love. And then it is mine. This is not something complicated or difficult. Accept. Receive.
People have a hard time accepting anything for which they have not worked or earned. There is this concept, particularly in the western world, that everything we get must be earned or gotten as a result of our own efforts. That is the reason it is so hard for us to simply receive what God has given to us. Say this after me:
I BELIEVE I RECEIVE ALL THAT JESUS HAS PROVIDED FOR ME.
I BELIEVE I RECEIVE HIS WORD.
I BELIEVE I RECEIVE HIS HEALING.
I BELIEVE I RECEIVE HIS PROSPERITY.
I BELIEVE I RECEIVE HIS HEALTH.
I BELIEVE I RECEIVE HIS WEALTH.
I BELIEVE I RECEIVE ALL HIS GIFTS TO ME.
THEY ARE MINE. I TAKE HOLD OF THEM AND SAY, THANK YOU, LORD. I AM SO GRATEFUL. I HAVE A HEART OF GRATITUDE FOR WHAT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME.
