Love that Surpasses all things

Love is so wonderful when we understand the Love of our Father and what He has to offer to us. For He did not come to condemn but to give freedom. God loves us so much that He gave up His one and only Son for us. What Jesus has done for us truly shows us the love of the Father in a way that is hard to grasp unless we have a loving relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Never letting Him out of our reach but always staying in a deep relationship with Him is the only way we can love others as Christ loves us. We will never be perfected but we will have the chance to live and grow in Christ’s love to reflect His love to others. Because of who He is we are set free. Always waiting for gratification from the world will never be satisfying but receiving the love of the Father is gratifying. Touching others and showing others is the only way to show the Love of Christ by being an example of the Word. Continually staying in the Word will give life to your soul and help us to receive the mind of Christ and live the perfect will of God in ways that we could ever imagine. Let’s be open to the truth and that is the truth of what Christ’s life was all about. he came to serve not to be served. When Jesus can kneel down and wash his deciples feet that is an awesome testimony knowing He came in the flesh to be like us is mind boggling but yet so freeing. Trust in Him and He will make your paths straight. Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you. I am the vine and you are the branches, if a man remains in me and I in him he will bear much fruit, apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5 This is my favorite verse and this has helped me in so many ways by learning I need to be in His word at all times or I will fall apart. Learning about His grace and love and growing in it is a wonderful love that only I can receive if I choose to receive this free gift. Always seeking Him daily is giving me hope and encouragement to trust and know that my God hand picked me out of this world and has set me apart from the world, now that is Love that surpasses all things.

In His Perfect Love,
Donna

Trusting our Father

So many times in life I have had to trust my Heavenly Father for many things and because of Him I have had such freedom within my life. Being mistreated most of my life, alot of trust issues had been broken and to learn to trust the One and Only that can make things work for the better was a hard thing for me. Trusting Him with my life, our finances, our children and provisions everyday has been a challenge. The Lord has been gracious to me to really trust and rely on Him for all things. Always wanting to run away but the Lord never letting me go and helping me deal with all of my issues He has made me the child of God that I never thought that I could be. Because of His grace and mercy each new day I have and am still being transformed day by day. I give all of the credit to Him who has made me to be more like the image of Him. To trust and know Him is becoming more of my hearts desire.
My heart goes out to those who feel that they cannot go to Him and trust Him with everything. It is letting go of control and allowing Him to work in our life to have the freedom that we so deserve. Freedom in Christ is liberating not restricting. When I follow His ways my ways and life are so much better then I could ever dream. So many times I take back what I have given Him and then I make a mess out of life then go back to Him only to have Him give me His grace and peace once again. For the grace of God is what sustains me in my everyday life. I continue to trust Him and turn over even the little things to Him and in return I receive His peace. Trust is not a simple thing to do in today’s society but it is all I can do anymore to have the peace in my life that I ever so crave. Knowing His love is behind me all the way and knowing how to receive His love has been so beneficial in my life. I always remember whenever life gets crazy or hectic I look to Him to help me with my day and that is what trusting the Father is all about.

In His Love,
Donna
