I know you don't hear from me as much. It is because I am working on a bigger project and it will take much of my concentrated time and effort. I must stayed focused so it will come to fruition.
But today I would like to mention something that came to me today as I was preparing for Sunday meeting. I depend greatly on the Lord's constant love for me. It is the one thing that keeps me going everyday. I had a devoted love in my husband and it fed me for many years. Now that he is with the Lord in heaven, I find myself alone without that constant support and love from one so close to me. People are not God, they cannot fill the void in us created when sin separates us from Him. Along the way we encounter some blessings but they are temporary. We still feel the vast emptiness that cries out for more. We all seek to be loved and accepted without the fear of rejection. I have found that love in my Lord, He has never disappointed me or given up on me. Even if I am rejected by man, I have One who will never leave me nor forsake me. I was His enemy, and He made the first move to bridge the gap that separated us. I did not seek Him, but He sought me, and He found me, bound in sin and chained in slavery. He came to me.....and I received Him........
You & I have the choice now to be like Him. We can bridge the gap that separates us from others. We can make the first move to reach out to another. I am finding that the only way I can do this is to be satisfied in His constant love for me. To do for another without expectation or demand takes a security that is not of this world. I am loved, I am accepted, I choose to move out from that security and point others to it. If we will keep this ever before us we will not be shaken by rejection or disappointment. We won't find a cave and hide in it but we will rest in knowing that Jesus can't love us more than He does right now. There is nothing you will do that will make Him love you more......what you do is only the response to His abounding love for you! When I rise in the morning I seek Him so I can get that massive void filled with Him and from there face the world. No matter what you did in your past or what you will do for Him now, always remember....He made the first move.......
