Until I really, really accepted and believed that God loved me unconditionally I was in bondage to the fear that if I didn`t always do what pleased God, He was out to get me.
As I read over the study for this week about God`s unfailing love, I had to stop and thank Him because several years ago He set me free from this fear. I am so thankful that He didn`t give up on me. I honestly don`t know where I would be today if I didn`t know that God and God alone will always love me.
This past week has been very busy for me. Everyday was filled with something to do, people to call or see, preparing for the study and then the LFM and in-between having time for family. Today as I walked through the woods behind our home, I actually felt a little lonely; I fussed at myself and then prayed for God to release me quickly before I ended up feeling the same way at the end of the day. I was immediately reminded of the last of our benefits, “To enjoy God`s presence”. A peace came over me and I knew that I wasn`t alone at all, in fact I was with the only person that knew everything about me and still loved me.
God fills our every need and every empty place, but we have to know and believe that He loves us or we will miss the abundant life completely.
What an awesome study, “How wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.”
