Most people’s lives are like a huge reservoir of potential hidden within them that is releasing this small spring on the surface. The spring is beautiful and life-giving but it is a fraction of the potential that lies beneath the surface.
What I am sharing with you over these few weeks, has had such an impact upon my own life that I feel that reservoir being released and my greater destiny coming into focus.
It is really quite awesome and I want to share it with you.
We all need a revelation of:
Abba Father – God loves as a Father (passionately and with unswerving devotion);
His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, as our Bridegroom – He loves us as one would love the one who is engaged to become their Bride (a sense of delight and great affection);
The Holy Spirit as our Comforter – He loves us as a best friend (with the desire and ability to empower us daily for life).
This whole thing is about how much all three members of the Godhead love us and long to have our love in return.
The bottom line is that with all His knowledge of our failures, our God loves us! He longs to spend time with us and to hang out together. He does not tolerate our company, He enjoys it; He does not need our pleading to forgive, a sincere whisper is enough for He longs to forgive instantly and fully. Why? Because He is so eager to hang out together again without the hindrance of us feeling condemned.
What an amazing thought! God actually wants to spend quality time with us; not to straighten us out or beat us into shape, but to enjoy the uncluttered, uninhibited, spontaneous relationship of a deeply loving Father with His son or daughter.
