Concerning the Love of Christ toward you....

Back in 2006 when I was first sent by the Lord to Myspace, there was a young woman who had just met Christ. The Lord had me encourage her with His word in many ways - letting her know that she was indeed His, and His great love for her. She was baptised, but then she got off in the wrong direction, letting the enemy steal her away and getting confused by many different people and doctrines and teachings. She all but vanished from contact. Several years later she found me again and lambasted me with criticism, saying that I was evil for 'catering to her flesh' and 'pumping up her flesh' - - - and yet all I did was speak that which the Lord was speaking toward her, which was His love.

Beloved you and I have a GREAT DEAL OF WORTH in the eyes of God. How wonderful that the Lord loves you tenderly; loves me tenderly! This should encourage you that NOTHING can separate us from the love of Christ. He DIED for us, that is how great His love is; He has written us on His hands! We are His inheritance! We are His bride!

KNOWING of His great love and devotion and long-suffering toward us, this should strengthen us to surrender MORE - it should draw you to Him MORE. AT THE SAME TIME His love strengthens and empowers you to walk out His ministry (letting HIM walk THROUGH YOU) - it should also serve to HUMBLE YOU!

Christ's love for you is INTIMATE. It is personal. He gazes at you, you gaze at Him - one to one, and it should MELT you. It shouldn't pump up your flesh, your pride, your ego, it should HUMBLE you....undo you....lay you out in awe that He cares so deeply for you.

Even as it melts you it empowers you and strengthens you to continue on FOR HIS GLORY!

Don't ever think you cannot bask in His love - that that is a flesh thing - it is NOT! It is scripture that "I am my beloved and my beloved is mine!" His love is documented in each word and deed ever spoken or performed by Him toward you. Let the greatness and awesomeness of His love HUMBLE YOU....bring you to your knees, lay you out on your face. We are NOTHING except that we are WORTHY TO HIM. In and of ourselves we are nothing without Him.

You must have spiritual ears to hear....not only to receive and know the depths of His heart and love, but also how to walk in it...and even that is for HIS GLORY and not our own.

Him. Always only Him.

His Messenger
