Far From Seperation
It is so amazing to see how awesome and loving My God is. The way I was grown up my dad didn't like me very much and I would try to do as much "good" as I can to get him to at least like me. I tried to do all these righteous acts. When I met Jesus I started to reuse this pattern. Trying to do as much good as I can to make sure He loves me. Because the moment I do something wrong my tail tucks between my legs and I get really scared. Scared that I yet again wronged my Father in some way. That now, oh no He doesn't want anything to do with me.
I absolutely love reading these kinds of scriptures. I can't earn God's love, He already does! How awesome and amazing is that?! That my righteous acts are not what have saved me. Thinking that my righteousness earns me grace alienates me from it. If I am alienated from His grace then I miss the point and Jesus died for nothing. "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith....." (ephesians)I have attained freedom through Christ and recieved grace from Him. My righteous acts do NOT give me that, His love gives me that.
The other side of this is just as critical. Does this give me an "ok-to-sin" card? NO! Not at all. Galatians 5:13 comes back with it, that if we live in the spirit, then righteousness becomes a part of us. That the whole law explained throughout Deuteronomy is really one law, "Love your neighbor as yourself" That we would not sin against one another and hurt each other, but rather humbly love each other. That's living in the spirit. That when it comes to desires of the flesh we want nothing to do with it for now we are set free from those things and we live to love others as Christ loves us.
Isn't awesome to know that there is absolutely NOTHING that can seperate you from God's love? Thee greatest love of all time CAN"T be taken away from you! A love so powerful that this being we call God, says He IS love. This is absolutely exciting and amazing! How sweet it is to be loved by Him!
Jesus,
THANK YOU THANK YOU LORD! Oh how you love us so God. Your love has drenched me and it cannot be taken from me?! That is absolutely amazing! God I love when you remind me of this. Remind me of how much you love me, and when you tell me Lord I just fall in love all over again. That is such an amazing feeling. I thank you so much Jesus for all you have done to give me this love. And God I spread that love with your other children. Thank you Lord for that oppurtunity God that I get to show your people the love you have shown me! God I just love you so very very much! You are the absolute best! *BIG HUGS*!!!!!! I love you! In Jesus name I pray!
AMEN
