Jeremiah 31:3 God knows everything about me and He still loves me. O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar offIf I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. Psalm 139:1-2, 9-10 God's love for me is not influenced by anything I ever did or ever will do. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. I John 4:10 The creator of the universe loves me. Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us our for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love.

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. God hates sin.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in hart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30 God accepts me. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. Psalm 139:16 God forgives me when I sin. I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed.

Have you ever been inside a Victorian house? Even the simple farmhouses from that era, like the one I live in, had a front parlor where the lady of the house received visitors. The parlor was usually the most well-kept room of the house, outfitted with elaborate, if rather stiff, furnishings, and set apart for the distinct purpose of entertaining guests. Usually, family members and especially children, did not enter the parlor for ordinary, day-to-day living. It is interesting to note that extended family members, when visiting, were generally ot given the "parlor treatment," but were free to roam the house at will in order to "keep company" with the family members as they went about their daily activities...You're a cherished loved one too. Your Heavenly Father...wants access to you, His cherished child, whatever you're doing, wherever you are. Believing this will open up a new world for you. If you're in the laundry room folding clothes, He'll be right there beside you. "Thank you, Father," you might say, "for these clothes you've provided for us." Washing dishes is much easier when there's Someone to talk to. "You're so good to us, Father, to so faithfully give us food to eat every day." When you're scrubbing the bathroom floor again and the children run in arguing again, you and look up quickly and cry, "Help me, Father! Give me wisdom and give me strength!" ~ Glenda Revell |
My dearly loved Child, I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you with living kindness. You are the apple of My eye. I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands. No longer will they call you desertedfor I will rejoice over you. I will take great delight in you; I will quiet you with My love, and I will rejoice over you with singing. I will gather you into my arms and carry you close to my heart. I do not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men. I thought you would call me "Father" and not turn away from following Me. For I know the thoughts and the plans I have for you plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Come unto Me and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. My presence will go with you and I will give you rest. I am with you when you are with me. If you seek Me, I will be found by you. I go before you and will be with you; I will never, no never, no, never leave you or forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Look! I have been standing at the door and I am constantly knocking. If anyone hears Me calling him and opens the door, I will come in and fellowship with him and he with Me. For I, the Lord your God, am a sun and shield; I bestow favor and honor. No good thing do I withhold form those who walk uprightly. If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be given you. Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you and you will honor Me. I am the helper of the fatherless. I will deal with all who oppressed you I am close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit. Before you call I will answer; while you are yet speaking, I will hear. Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. Though you are surrounded by troubles, I will bring you safely through them. I will clench My fist against your angry enemies. Let me have all your worries and cares, for I am always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are numbered. Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed; I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with my victorious right hand. Now you don't need to be afraid, for I have ransomed you; I have called you by name; you are mine. Now you don't need to be afraid of the dark anymore, nor fear the dangers of the day; nor dread the plagues of darkness, nor disasters in the morning. When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, your Savior, the holy One of Israel. The mountains may depart and the hills disappear, but My kindness shall not leave you. My promise of peace for you will never be broken. If your father and your mother should forsake you, I, the Lord, will take you up. I will not leave you as an orphan; I will come to you. Can a mother forget her little child and not have love for her own son? Yet even if that should be, I will not forget you. I am the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort. No mere man has ever seen, heard or even imagined what wonderful things I have ready for those who love Me. Now you are no longer a stranger to Me and a foreigner to heaven, but you are a member of My very own family, a citizen of My country, and you belong in My household with every other Christian. And so you should not be like a cringing, fearful slave, but you should behave like My very own child, adopted into the bosom of My family and calling to Me, "Abba, Father." For My Holy Spirit speaks to you deep in your heart and tells you that you really are My child. And since you are My child, you will share My treasures for all I give to My Son, Jesus, is now yours too. He who overcomes will inherit all of this and I will be his God, and he will be My son. With My unfailing love, Your Father ~ Glenda Revell With Love from a Mother's Heart Used with permission |
