I know exactly what everyone wants for Christmas. I really do! They may not put it on their "get me this for Christmas list." They might not admit it right away, but when a person really admits it, it surely makes its way to the top of the list.
What is it? To be loved! To be cared for with a genuine concern of having value and worth in the eyes of others.
People may ask, what does God see in me that He can love me? Or what did I do to deserve such unconditional love? The answer is not about you. It is about His nature. God's nature is to love. He has no choice but to love. He made Himself that way! And He has made us that way to. "...the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us." (Romans 5:5).
Love notes
(these were gathered from E.W. Kenyon's book: The New Kind Of Love pages 36-39)
- The believer has a legal right to the Father's love and Jesus' ability. He has the legal right to the use of Jesus' name that has "all authority" back of it. He really has the power of Attorney to use that name.
- Love never takes advantage of anyone. Love always bears the burden of the weak.
- No fear in love. God's love is not based on anything we do. It is based entirely on His desire to care for us.
- When selfishness is eliminated in us and love gains the ascendency, we will not seek our own any longer. We will seek only the Father's will, which will be to the best interest of all the Father's children.
- God gave you His own nature. He made you a New Creation. You are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus.
- There has never been a divorce where the husband and wife both walked in love.
- The real lover is taking Jesus' place in life. He is a reproduction of Jesus. He is carrying out the dreams and will of the Father as Jesus did.
- You have written yourself up as a failure for the last time. From today you step into the ranks of the conquerors.
- "...Who loved me and gave Himself up for me. " Galatians 2:20.
