Love Me, Love Me Not

I’am overwhelmed by the Lord’s love today. I declare His faithfulness in my life yesterday, today, and forever more. When I was 9 years old, I knew I had to have His love. As time went on I strayed from His love and tried desperately to find it in others. My earthly father could not give me the love I needed. He had it but only on the days that he was sober and those were few and far between. Sadly the loss of love from him made a wide gaping hole in my heart. As I look back I know that the Lord allowed that hole to get so big that the only place I could come and have it fixed was at the foot of the cross.
I have learned things about the Lord’s love. Not only through reading the Word and all that it says about His love, but experiencing His love. I know that He does indeed love me. I don’t have to play the game with the daisy, “Does He love me or because of all the things I’ve done, Does He love me not?” He reached down and lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
If today, you find yourself with that big ol’ gaping hole in your heart, I pray that you will crawl to the foot of the cross if you have to. Trust Him to love you with His love that never fails. Trust Him because He is faithful. He does not love you based on your performance. He loves you based on who He is. He is LOVE!
Zephaniah 3:17 says,
“The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”
