Dear One,
Soon your family, children, the preacher will know. God already knows. You have no idea what God thinks? As a young boy, your mother made you go to church for years! You sometimes murmured to yourself — “She’ll never make me listen.” But this morning you listen, you are hearing! The preacher is speaking about a LORD God Almighty Who is Love-Grace — Who Loves in Grace forever beyond imagination at all costs! This morning the preacher is a woman — sounds different? — talks about God’s Great Wild Love — Jesus — His Love-Grace! Did she just say — “God has ‘Great Wild Faith’ in you?”
You hear about the lost son in the Bible who took his inheritance early from his father, ran off carelessly living, squandering every penny on drugs, prostitutes, wild parties! You listen, thinking you can’t keep the drugs, the lies, the mistress, a secret much longer. You have stolen money, mis-used money for some long time! You think you smell like the worst side of a rotten piece of meat!
Beloved — Love-Grace is God’s only way, His greatest Divine way. God never tells you to change — Almighty God is Change — He created change. Do you think you must have a bath, wash up, beat yourself with whips before you go to Him to love you? Did you think you must beat up other people into lining up with God? Never! God’s Love-Grace already received you — washed you, completely cleaned you up in His Sons Love-Grace on The Cross. What a powerful, different message of Love you are hearing!
You, your past, is already forever forgiven — now you forgive you! Jesus is now flooding Himself — breaking you aggressively loose from condemnation, damnation, careless love misrepresented, misunderstood! You are “seeing” you were set free — transferred into all Love-Grace thriving — Jesus’ Perfect Love Image. Imagine — forgiven people, forgiving people! I can hear deepest sighs of relief — deep realizations of rest (trust) flooding through these loving completed Words of God. Love-Grace has always been JESUS — is All — is Done! “It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me!”
