Freedom In His Love ~ Week Six
(Never Forsaken)
Simple Truth
Love is a many splendored thing. 😉 Yet, love has broken us, left us, hurt us, or forsaken us at some point in our life. From our first pet to a parent. From puppy love to your spouse. Love has brought us pain.
Then we hear that God is love and that God loved the whole world and that He will never forsake us.
And we sit there trying to understand His infinite love via our human hurt. And we view God’s love through our personal experience. And we receive His love at arm’s reach as we protect ourselves from being hurt once again.
Because the idea of being hurt by God our creator is a pain too big to comprehend. Such immense devastation. A heartbreaking thought. So, we remain in our space beside His love rather than embraced by it.
Well, we think we do.
We think we have the ability to limit His love for us.
We think we are that big, that powerful.
Consider: Have you received God’s love given to you through the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ? Will you share your testimony of when you found His love?
Challenge: Write a letter from God to you. See (via your own words) if you view His love for you through His infinite love or through your human heart.
*Search Scripture if you need to learn more of His verbal love for you.

Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Final Thought
Psalm 118 proved to be a psalm of praise and beauty perfectly set for our study on finding Freedom In His Love. It is one that proclaims the very love of the Father, the personal love of David for His King, and a written testimony of the Savior’s most powerful gift, the gift of Salvation.
I encouraged each of us to spend time in Palm 118 in connection with Hebrews 13. May we see the vitality of the sacrifice of praise. May we understand the importance of offering our heart of worship to God. May we remember to set our eyes on the day the Lord had made. May we purpose to rejoice in the day of our Salvation. May we pause and breathe and be glad in it!
God loves you. God is with you. God will not walk away from you. God will not turn His back on you. He will not leave you or forsake you. He will not fail you. He is God. He calls you His. He loves you always and forever. God sees you. For God loves you.
