 His Love

I TAKE GREAT DELIGHT IN YOU, I REJOICE OVER YOU WITH SINGING. Sometimes you feel unworthy of this amazing Love. No one could ever be good enough or work hard enough to deserve My Love, but I have chosen to relate to you mercifully. My death on the cross completely satisfied justice, opening the way for Me to show you mercy. As your resurrected Savior, I am free to bestow eternal Life and Love on all who believe in Me. I beautify the humble with salvation, and I unashamedly take pleasure in My people.

 I love you passionately, but I don’t want you to feel overwhelmed by the force of My Love. Be assured that I restrain Myself from “crushing” anyone with My mighty ardor. I know precisely what each of My children can handle. However, it is possible to increase your capax Dei: your capacity for Me. One of the best ways is to delight yourself in Me—taking pleasure in Me above all else. Ask My Spirit to help you in this endeavor. Your growing enjoyment of Me will strengthen you spiritually, empowering you to receive ever greater portions of My Love. 

The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing. ZEPHANIAH 3:17 

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” JOHN 3:16 

For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. PSALM 149:4 NKJV 

Delight yourself in the LORD; and He will give you the desires of your heart. PSALM 37:4 NASB

Giving God Permission          If you want a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit, give God a blank check. Decide in your heart that you want whatever he wants for you, no matter what it is. Don’t put limits on him. Be willing to come out of your comfort zones and the grooves you’ve dug to ensure your safety, comfort, and security. Tell the Lord every morning that your life is his and that you give him permission to do with it whatever he wants. Then walk throughout your day with one ear turned toward the Spirit. Don’t leave the Spirit at home or in church. Be conscious of his presence; attempt to listen even amidst the noise and frantic pace of life. When you hear him, or sense his prompting or gentle nudge, act on it. Don’t hesitate, do what he wants you to do. If you do this consistently, the Spirit will become your intimate friend and he will make something beautiful out of your life.       Pope Joh...
