Living Loved

Do you live loved?

Tonite, in study, a friend shared that she has trouble believing she is loved. She said she could not wait until she could just think of herself the way God sees her. Her tendency is to think she is stupid, unlovable, guilty etc.
I asked her what she does about that.
She said she did not know what to do.

A picture came to mind.....you are invited to join God's Family. At dinner time, as everyone gathers, you eat by yourself, off to the side. The Lord calls you to come to His table...your place is set. You are now part of the Family! You shake your head no and looking down stay put far away from the rest.

Whose fault is that? Is it God's? What has He said? For beginners He says nothing can separate you from His love! Then how is it possible that you still feel so undeserving etc?

It is IMPERATIVE as believers to believe what the Lord says rather than what we think!!!...

I cannot stress this enough.

We cannot trust our hearts or our heads!!

We must know the Word and apply it to our lives. We must not live by our feelings or even our experiences.
What HE SAYS IS WHAT STANDS TRUE!

So we must first learn to dive into His Word and see what He says and then we must preach It to ourselves daily ...living in the Truth of His decree over us rather than our own understanding.

Right?

Right!
