God's love that rescued the earth, lives in me. Think about that. We have the SAME power that beat death, that conquered sin, that broke chains, that changes lives, the same love that rescued you, me, and everyone on this earth. That is the love we have inside of US. Sometimes I feel I cannot love, that I have reached my limit. But then the Lord reminds me that I can love infinitely because of Him...because of who He is and His love, not me or my love. The only reason I am the way that I am and that I can love the way I love is because of Him. I say to the LORD, "You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you." (Psalm 16:2)
I can't begin to explain the love from the Father that moves me to love others. I want to be a woman who radically loves others. I want to love my sisters, I want to love my parents, I want to love my enemies, I want to love orphans, I want to love widows, I want to love people who have been abandoned, I want to love prisoners, I want to love murderers, I want to love mormons, I want to love budhists, I want to love terrorists... It's all about love.
It amazes me how we complicate the Gospel...when in reality it is all about love. Love God and love others. Start with love. Keep it simple. Simplify the Gospel and just love. I just want to be a person of His presence, I just want His loving, peaceful, joyful presence to be in me and overflowing from me onto others. I just want to radically love, love, love and do nothing else...I just want to be an outpour of love and grace and just show Jesus to anyone and everyone by how I love...more like how He loves through me. I am just in simple awe. I am in awe of how amazing and magnificent the Lord is and that He died for me, that He became a curse for me, and that He wants me to be happy and joyful...I am in awe. He died for me when I hated Him. He gave His life for me when I 100% didn't deserve it. He loves... He loves, He loves, He loves.
His love has no bounds, it is infinite and never ending. Breathe in His love and exhale it onto others. Live out the Gospel. Keep it simple. Love.
But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" 7So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.(Galatians 4:4-7)
