RECEIVE OUR LOVE

[Elaine Dervales]

I know you are doing the best you can.  Relax in Me.  Your love may seem weak to you, but it delights Me.  All I ever wanted from you, is for you to love Me with all your heart, all your mind, all your soul, and all your strength.  That is how We love you.

As you receive Our love for you, you will be able to love Us more, and more, and more.  Your capacity to love people will also grow.  And everyone will recognize you as one of Jesus's  true disciples by the love you pour out.  Let Us pour into you now.  Are you ready to receive?

Luke 10:27

".....You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.  And love your neighbor as yourself."

John 13:35

"Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are My disciples."

1 John 4:9-12

"God showed how much He loved us by sending His one and only Son into the world, so that we might have eternal life through Him.  This is real love....not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.  Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.  No one has ever seen God.  But if we love each other, God lives in us, and His love is brought to full expression in us."

Prayer:

Holy Spirit, I'm doing my best, but sometimes my best falls short.....far short of the goal.....and it's disappointing.  Remind me to focus on You and Your love for me, so that Your perfect love will overshadow the fears and frustrations that sometimes distract me from Your heart.
