Living Loved
Toxic shame refers to negative beliefs and statements we make about ourselves. When we define ourselves apart from God, we tend to fall into shame and self-judgment, which leads to feelings of separation and isolation.
This world’s cold love stems from a failure to love God and self. Our cold love is the byproduct of our lack of love for God and self.
Love is the only force that brings in true lasting change and revival. That Love is not only expressed with our love for God but also when we love one another.
Unless I am willing to embrace Love, I will have absolutely nothing of Life and revival. Love is the only force that can bring in change and revival.
I have learned that I can’t close off my heart to the world in self-protection and not also close it off to God, who created that world. That's cold love!
Jesus comes for those who have Love for God and Love for others. Cold love on the other hand is a cold heart that has cut itself off from the Source of all love, which is God.
You're required to love God and love yourself whether or not another single soul loves you. You have only one self and you’re required to love that self.
Love will force out and bring to the surface all that is not Love. Love is so holy that it finds all that is unholy and exposes it to make way for Love’s procession.
We were built for love and to love. Love is our primary source. Our Creator God made us to and for love. LOVE is your current reality.
Those who love God are pliable and malleable in His hands. Why? Because the one who loves God, loves His Will. It's like God is playing me like an instrument.
If the Person od Love is our source, then John 17 is our purpose. Of course I would want to break dividing walls that isolate me from Christ and His Body.
Our world is steeped in the pursuit of romance. We long for it desperately. We want romance because we were made in the image of a romantic God.
