Janet:
I am loved. Today I accept that I am so loved by the Lord.
Debbie:
Believe that you're loved. Believe that the Lord knows who you are and knows what's in your heart. Each of us have something to give to each other that the Lord has given us, that the Lord has placed within us.
Ron:
Knowing that we are loved by the Father. If we can just somehow by faith receive that, then it throws off so much frustration. But we receive Your love Father, today. We receive your love just the way we are. You love us just the way we are - with all of our limitations, and our struggles. Take our walls down - our mental walls, and we receive what You're pouring out today. I want to enforce the breaking of everything within or anything without or both that would hinder us. Distract us from returning to our first love - because really that's everything. Honestly. That is everything.
Barbara:
We know that He loves us, and we go in that strength that He has good for us. And that He is going to use us for His good pleasure, but we know it's out of the fact He loves us. We have to find a way to accept that, truly accept that .
Betty:
I always seem to know He's with me. There's no reason of all the crazy things I've done in my life, He's always had my back. He's always loved me, and I know He's in me. I just know He's is there. He's always there.
Barrel:
I don't have any mental acknowledgement of a first love. I went to church all my life, but then when God hit me, it opened up that total hunger for Him. I just had to search for Him. So I don't know about first love. I don't know the word love. I don't know exactly what that means or how to interpret that.
At that point, I knew that God loved me. I knew I wanted to walk with Him. I didn't feel anything. I didn't feel a love, an emotional love. I still don't most of the time, but yet I know it's like a thing in the back of my mind, knows that God loves me and knows who I am. Even though my mind doesn't really acknowledge that, but I know that it's there.
I guess it's gone from the realm of human knowledge to a thing of spirit. I can't shake that. I don't understand the word love. I just understand, what's in my spirit, because it's just there. It's always there.
Ron:
You just described the love of God. You described the difference between human love and the love of God.
Mike:
The thing of God that sets this whole thing apart is His commitment to us in spite of all of our feelings and emotions that would want to deny His love for us. I'm not worthy. I'm not this, I'm not that. I don't do this. I don't do that. And it comes down to this thing of simply believing He is who He is.
And once you come to that reality, and it is a reality you come to, then you begin to see His love coming through you. And it comes through us without emotions or feelings initially. That's the secret about this whole thing. It doesn't require emotions and feelings and sensations initially, but you can get excited when you see Him manifest Himself through each and every one of us, including yourself.
That's the part where the joy comes in. That's the part where the happiness comes in, because it's not you or me that's bringing it forth. It's Him bringing it forth in these vessels that open themselves up to His love, to the awareness of who He is. And then when that love starts to come through, others begin to see that love and tune in to that love. That's where they are drawn in to that love and to that experience,
Ron:
You are to be a zero with the rim rubbed out. It's not about you. I question whether or not the love of God is for an individual. It's the love of God moving through you. It's so not human. We keep trying to make it human, and it's not human.
I loved what Barrow was explaining because she explained it perfectly. I don't know what love is. I don't know how I, and yet she was expressing in her spirit a knowledge of the love of God. Her spirit knew that she was loved by God. It's in her. She can't get away from it. And she even said it, I can't get away from it. And you can't. You can't get away from His love.
Dale:
There is nothing more God would love to hear than thank you. Tell him how much you love Him and you'll find out you just pulled the cord on the waterfall, His love back to you. We draw His love and we send it back from once it came.
Bill:
We're talking about recognizing that God loves us. When we validate that, when we acknowledge that. Nobody is more excited about it than God. Think of it this way. One of us has a meeting with God and we proceed to tell each other about it. God goes back into the throne room and laughing and says, guess what? I just had this wonderful meeting with Janet.
