Resting on the Foundation of His Love
God’s love is the springboard,
the beginning,
the basis,
the foundation,
the background of the tapestry,
the resting place for the theme.
When I rest on the foundation of His Love,
I trust,
I receive,
I gain perspective,
I am aware,
I breathe deeply,
There is wisdom.
“Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is the true self. Every other identity is illusion.” Brennan Manning
“God loves us just as we are … while he loves us into who we will become.” Ruth Chou Simons
Do you even believe I really love Jesus?
The question poured out in deep frustration that day; the reason has escaped me.
Of course I do. The answer, a gift from my husband accompanied by a hug. I melted.
God loved me through Bill in my big mess. I needed that assurance.
“See how very much our Father loves us,
for he calls us his children,
and that is what we are!”
I John 3:1 NLT
“You have been set apart as holy to the LORD you God,
and he has chosen you from all the nations of the earth
to be his own special treasure.”
Deuteronomy 14:2 NLT
“I have loved you with an everlasting love;”
Jeremiah 31:3 ESV
When I look in the mirror, God please give me the courage, the trusting, the humility to see your image displayed in me. Amen.
During Advent, these words will be fleshed out.
Next Thursday, a Thanksgiving post.
