What happened? What happened to our abundant aliveness? Are we spiritually acquiescing to living our life on the outer fringes of Grace? Are we simply content to live on the edges of God’s love? Have we allowed a wall of fear or doubt to come between our reality and Papa’s continuous kisses of intimacy through Jesus, by His Spirit?
The struggle of the centuries has been to free our souls from a narrow or jaded interpretation of Father’s love for us in Jesus. He is the very essence and heart of the Father’s love message. The world is still waiting to see Jesus as He truly is through us!
He is: Jesus the magnificent lover, Jesus the resurrected Lord and Savior, Jesus the hope of History and the Nations, Jesus the kinsman redeemer, Jesus the compassionate healer, and Jesus the dynamic wonder of the ages!
Take the shackles and/or blinders off; let Him have a chance to bless mankind through us without limitations! Daily embrace the Father’s lavish love in Jesus! This is our first matter of faith, removing any and all shackles, blinders and/or limitations. Only then can we see and show what great love the Father has lavished on us. It matters not what we are going through. Even:
When I feel the cold of winter Endless cloak of sadness, I need You All the evil things that shake me All the words that break me, I need You Over the mountains, over the sea Here You come running, my Lover, to me Do not hide me from Your presence Pull me from these shadows, I need You Beauty, wrap Your arms around me Sing Your song of kindness, I need You Over the mountains, over the sea Here, You come running, my Lover, to me. All through the valleys, through the dark of night Here You come running, to hold me, til’ it’s light. Over the mountains, over the sea Here You come running, my Lover, to me. All through the valleys, through the dark of night. Here You come running, to hold me ‘Til it’s light. Song of Solomon - Martin Smith
1 What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it - we're called children of God! That's who we really are. But that’s also why the world doesn’t recognize us or takes us seriously, because it has no idea who he is or what he's up to. 2 But friends, that's exactly who we are: children of God. And that's only the beginning. Who knows how we'll end up! What we know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we'll see him - and in seeing him, become like him.
(1 John 3:1-2, Msg)
