Live Loved

Good Morning Everyone,

As I read the Max Lucado devotional this morning, one thing struck my heart like a chord.. then resounding through my mind.. until it seems so clear.. like a bell ringing to my soul.

LIVE LOVED.

Wow. Live loved? What does that mean?

I think many of us live as if we were not loved.We live as if we are going to be defeated.As if there is no answer, as if God "really" isn't watching out for us, and we are praying,Just in case!

The Bible says He is our sufficiency.
He is all we need.
He is our Great I Am.
He is the great provider.
He is the good shepherd.
He is the bright and morning star.

He is all we need no matter what situation comes.But we are living far beneath our capabilities,we are not pursuing dreams and hopes and faith,we are pursuing despair, depression and clinging to the past.

Live Loved.

Live each day as if you were the most loved person on the earth. Be confident. Inspire confidence.Act as if you were a child of the king and start believing in the inheritance God has for you through Jesus Christ.

Live Loved.

So that the world may know you "truly" believe
You Truly count on God
You Truly believe He will provide
You truly believe you are loved
You truly are victorious.
Because you are loved!

May Christ through your faith (actually) dwell -- settle down,abide, make his permanent home -- in your hearts!May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love.That you may have the power and be strong to understand and grasp with all the saints (God's devoted people,the experience of that love) what is the breadth and length and height and depth of (God's love).That you may really come to know --practically, through experience for yourselves -- the love of Christ,which far surpasses mere knowledge (without experience)that you may be filled ( throughout all your being) unto the fullness of God -- that you may know the richest measure of the divine Presence of God and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God himself!Ephesians 3:17-19

Love always,
millie

Live like you believe it today.. You are the most loved person! God cares about you! Never doubt that..oryou would be believing a lie from the enemy.

Praise God - Be flooded with His Love.

UNFAILING LOVE - - - - -by Max Lucado

My prayer for you this season of giving is that you will receive God's love and accept your place as a dearly loved child in his heavenly family.

Accept the love that came in the form of a newborn babe.Accept the forgiveness and grace bought for you through the cruel,nail-piercing reality of the Cross.

Accept his love won for you through the victory of his resurrection.

Let this love worth giving fill you, flood you, and change you forever.

Live in the knowledge and acceptance of this love.

Live loved.

Remember, God loves you simply because he has chosen to do so.

He loves you when you don't feel lovely.

He loves you when no one else loves you.

Others may abandon you, divorce you, and ignore you, but God will love you. Always.

No matter what.
