We are really free to pursue all of our dreams; jump over hurdles; take risks; believe God is with us; and truly understand this all because of what Jesus did. Our love for Him is measured out in leading and living the abundant life he paid for. No more striving to become perfect or up to par - or worry that our past negates our future with Him. It's not about what we do to measure up. It's all about what He has already done and continues to do.
Thank you, my friend.
John 15:3 - "You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you."
John 15:13 - "Greater love has no one than this; to lay down one's life for one's friends."
“Shower the people you love with love, show
them the way that you feel…” – the music and beautiful voice of James Taylor
echoed from the towering rocks at Red Rocks Amphithater and made me feel one with humanity. God is singing something like that over us right now. You read it in
the Psalms, hear it in music, feel it in family, exhilarate in its joy that you
witness in nature. It is a bigger reality than the negative thing that is
coming at you. Give the good things your total attention. 1 Corinthians 13:13 - And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. John 15:13 - Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.
