I Am Eternally Loved!
I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love, I have drawn you to myself.
—Jeremiah 31:3 (NLT)
I don’t have to measure up, perform, or be perfect to receive God’s love. God loves me unconditionally, fully, and completely.
God loves me with my insecurities and inadequacies, my faults and my failings. He loves me and accepts me just as I am. I am complete in God’s love. Therefore, I accept myself and love myself as I am. Thank you, Lord, for this love. Amen.
I have nothing to prove.
I am worthy of God’s love.
Love and Light
Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble.
—1 John 2:10 (NIV)
I have met people who claimed they were enlightened, but their souls were full of bitterness, resentment, and hate. They kept a record of all the wrongs that were done to them and offered that as a reason why they could not love. What a contradiction! Light only dwells where love is. Or, expressed another way, where love is, there is light.
If you are experiencing a power outage, I urge you to take an inventory of your soul and see what is stored there. If you are low on love, chances are you are low on light. Lord, free us to love one another. Amen.
If love is hidden from your sight,
you are not walking in the light.
