God is Love

My love reflects through you.

Ephesians 5:1
Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. NLT



My dearly loved little one, what do you see when you look in a mirror? Do you see yourself as I see you? Or do you focus only on what you think are your many imperfections? The world will try to convince you that you aren't enough the way I made you, but don't listen to these misguided voices, dear child.

For I created you with My own hands and in My own likeness to be a one-of-a-kind, unique reflection of My personality. Because in all of eternity, there has never been another you! So today, I want you to yield to how I want to display My loving nature through you. And yes, that means My image will be spectacularly revealed through your weaknesses, too.

And surrender to the eternal acceptance and affirmation I have joyfully declared over your life. I love you as you are, not as you think you should be. As you discover in increasing measure who I created you to be, you will reflect the image of love with ever-increasing glory to those around you.

 
My love dwells in you.

John 14:15-17
15 “If you love me, obey my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. 17 He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.

All of the majesty and glory of My Kingdom dwells within you. Even though it may be hard for you to believe at times, it is nonetheless true, for you are the temple of My Spirit and the eternal abiding place of My infinite love.

I want you to dive deep into the everlasting wells of My joy that are welling up within you today. All you need has been freely given to you in your unbreakable union with My beloved Son. So, there is no need to look elsewhere to satisfy your heart's deepest longings.

Deep within you, rivers of living water are already flowing out of the vast ocean of My love that has been deposited in you in the person of My Spirit. All you have to do is be still, dear child, and in your silence, know at a heart level that I am truly your God. And as you do, My indwelling love will become more of a reality for you today than it was yesterday.

 
My love is attentive.

Matthew 6:7-8
7 “When you pray, don’t babble on and on as the Gentiles do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. 8 Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him! NLT

I want you to know that the practical needs of your life are important to Me because you are important to Me. So you don't have to try and twist My arm or beg Me for things like food, clothing, and shelter. For if I feed the birds of the air and clothe the flowers of the field, how much more will I look after you?

I am so aware of the daily necessities of your beautiful life that I can anticipate what you need before you even ask for it. After all, I am a faithful Father and love giving my kids good gifts.

So set your heart at rest, and don't worry, little one. I know what you need today, tomorrow, and for the rest of your life. All I want you to do is live in each moment with Me and trust that you can cast every care onto My big, strong shoulders because I care for you.

 
My love is endearing.

Mark 10:13-16
13 One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering him. 14 When Jesus saw what was happening, he was angry with his disciples. He said to them, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. 15 I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.” 16 Then he took the children in his arms and placed his hands on their heads and blessed them. NLT



You need not be concerned about some hyper-religious protocol when you come to Me. For in My presence is fullness of joy, and at My right hand are pleasures forever. I love it when you run boldly into My arms, just like little children did when My beloved Son invited them to come.

In the same way, Jesus took these little ones up in His arms and blessed them, I love taking you up close to My heart to bless you, too. So, I don't want you ever to feel insecure or uncertain when you approach Me. Though the angels shield their eyes from My glory, My children have unrestricted access to My throne room day or night.

So come to Me today with the beautiful simplicity of a childlike heart, and let My endearing love embrace you and remind you once again just how important you are to Me.

 
My love is immovable.

Proverbs 18:10
The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe. NLT



My love is your safe place today, dear one. It is your strong fortress and your shelter from the storms of life. Even though the mountains may fall into the sea and the earth may crumble, you will always be able to trust in My faithful love, no matter what comes your way.

For it is always the same. It is steadfast. It is immovable. It is eternal. And it is your everlasting inheritance in your union with My beloved Son. So don't be afraid or discouraged when the broken systems of the world that surround you waver and fall.

Remember, you are not of this world but a citizen of heaven and a resident of an enduring Kingdom that cannot be shaken. So, no matter what happens today, keep your eyes fixed on eternal and invisible things. This is the realm you were born for—the holy place in My heart where I desire you to live, where My love endures forever.

 
My love created all things.

John 1:1-3
1 In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He existed in the beginning with God. 3 God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. NLT



My eternal love was the motivating force behind all I have created, and it continues to be the impetus for all I will create in this brand-new day. Every mountaintop, every valley, and every star in the sky are beautiful, one-of-a-kind works of art created out of love, by love, and for love.

For I spoke all things into being through My Word, the One who is the perfect expression of love, My beloved Son. For in Jesus, My absolute delight over creation is fully expressed. He created all things and for Him; in Him, every molecule in the universe is held together.

I want to awaken a deeper appreciation for the awe and wonder surrounding you in your everyday life. Every sunrise signals a new day filled with new mercies, and every sunset is a token of My love that reminds you how faithful I have been at the end of each day.

 
My love is unshakeable.

Hebrews 12:28
Since we are receiving our rights to an unshakable kingdom we should be extremely thankful and offer God the purest worship that delights his heart as we lay down our lives in absolute surrender, filled with awe. TPT

Though the things of this world are temporal and can sometimes feel like a foundation built on shifting sand, My love is steadfast, eternal, and unshakeable. Nothing in My heart toward you, dear child, ever changes.

I have resolved to love you with all My heart for all eternity. And there is nothing that could ever separate us in your unbreakable union with My beloved Son. For in Jesus, you have been irrevocably united forever within the Triune community of My loving heart.

So, if anything in you today makes you feel insecure or unstable in your relationship with Me, be reminded that nothing could be further from the truth. For in Christ, you are safe and secure in My loving embrace today, tomorrow, and for all eternity.

 
My love is righteous.

Psalm 145:17
The Lord is righteous in everything he does; he is filled with kindness. NLT

My dear child, I want to remind you today of how faithful I am to keep My covenant of love with you. It is in My steadfast faithfulness that My righteousness is beautifully displayed. Every act of kindness I do on your behalf is good, right, just, and as it should be.

Some people think being righteous is about following rules and externally self-imposed pressure to perform to gain My approval. But in reality, no amount of striving could ever secure the acceptance and right standing I gave you in My beloved Son.

For you are completely righteous in Christ, just as He is righteous. You are completely accepted and justified in My sight, just as Jesus is. And you are completely free from the exhausting hamster wheel of performance that would try to convince you that you are not loved the way you are. So I invite you today, little one, to enjoy all the benefits of your right standing with Me and enter into My rest.

 
My love will keep you safe.

Psalm 121:7-8
7 The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. 8 The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. NLT

My eyes are continually on you, dear child, watching over you like a mother hen hovering over her chicks. You are the apple of My eye and a source of My great delight. If you dare to believe this to be true today, any fear that makes you feel alone will be put to rest.

I want you to know you don't have to fight for yourself. Just trust me, and I will fight for you. And you don't have to worry about the daily necessities of life because I promise to meet all your needs— for that is what good dads do for their kids.

Though challenges will come, My love will cause you to triumph, for nothing can stand against you when I am for you. So be courageous today and take heart. Be comforted knowing that I am watching over you and will keep you safe now and forever.

 
My love is artistic.

Ephesians 2:10
We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it! TPT

Everything that has ever been created is a one-of-a-kind original. And that includes you, dear child! And today, I want you to see yourself as I see you. ...As a priceless masterpiece that uniquely reflects My glory like no one else could.

You are a fulfilled dream of Mine that I planned before creating the world. I want you to know that it gives Me much joy when you discover all the good works that I prepared for you to do.

So dig deep into all the glorious gifts I have given you today. Some may have been shut down because of past hurts, and others may be newly discovered. But know this at the core of your being: You are an irreplaceable facet in the diamond of My image, which I want gloriously displayed to those around you.

 
My love follows you.

Psalm 23:6
Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever. NLT

Did you know that My goodness and mercy follow you wherever you go today? For where you go, My unfailing love goes too—all the days of your life. I understand why your natural senses don't always feel My abiding presence, but it is true, dear child.

Even when you struggle and feel faithless, My everlasting affection is pursuing you. The ups and downs of your emotions, circumstances, or behavior do not dissuade My love for you, for I have determined from before the world's creation to love you with all My heart.

So, if you are having difficulty believing that you are absolutely and completely loved today, don't think that will change how I love you, for there is nothing you could ever do to make Me love you any more than I do right now and nothing you could ever do to make Me love you any less.

 
My love is unlimited.

John 3:34
For he is sent by God. He speaks God’s words, for God gives him the Spirit without limit. NLT

I have given you the greatest gift I could ever give: the life of My beloved Son. When you were reborn into My glorious Kingdom, you were forever united with all that Jesus is and has. And since I give My Spirit without limit, there is an unlimited outpouring of love flowing from My heart to yours.

Though an infinite supply of My goodness is available for you, limitations can create a bottleneck in how you receive it. Think of it this way… My love is funneled into your heart by My Spirit. My side of the funnel is unlimited, but your end of the funnel is limited by your ability to receive.

As you agree by faith with this infilling process, you will know in increasing measure how infinite My love for you is in Christ. As your funnel increasingly enlarges daily, you will continue to be filled to the full measure of My fullness.
