red-faced

a couple of years ago, I completed a journal called "loving well" by beth moore. here's an exerpt from it that I just LOVED.

Do you realize that I came to meet with you?
Do you have any idea how much I love you?
How taken I am with you?
Do you know that I have never forsaken you nor will I ever reject you?
I was there all along. I always will be.
Do you realize I knew everything about you the day you were conceived?
I anticipated your life and planned for it.
You do have an enemy, My Child. But it is not Me. He wants you to think it is. I am for you. Do you think you need to prove yourself lovable to Me?
Deep down inside, are you trying to earn My love and attention?
As you strive to love Me more, do you realize the key to loving Me more is to let Me love you more?
Why are you resisting Me? Why are you running from Me?
To whom have you compared Me, and with whom have you confused Me?
I'm not like them. I know what's happened.
I know what's on your mind. I alone know the plan for how this turns out well.
I alone know how to prosper you through this.
My eyes and My affections are on you right now.
Quit trying to be so strong. Let Me be strong for you.
I love you unashamedly.
Even now My banner flies over you.
Everyone in the heavenlies knows how I feel about you.
I'd leave you red-faced over My love for you.....if you'd only let me.


what an encouragement to know how immeasurably loved we are by the Creator of the universe. that He calls us lovely. that He admires and fights for our hearts. that we are insignificant without Him. He knows what my heart desires even if I don't. the Lord is taken with us. does that pull on anyone else's heartstrings? that He would leave us red-faced over His love for us... all the angels know how He feels about me. and you. amazing.
