We are often reminded that God loves us, but sometimes we
need to be reminded that we love God!
Two thoughts why we would forget that:
These are times when
some Christians even doubt God’s faithfulness.
The question they need to ask themselves is, “In my heart of hearts, how
do I feel about God?” The answer would
be, “I love Him! I want to trust Him!” God knows that. He allows all the clutter in us (that is
there because of wounds) to be revealed so we can be healed! He is not intimidated by our accusations,
though I’m sure it grieves His Holy Spirit.
He will let us go through times of shaking so all that can be shaken
will fall away until all that is left is that that cannot be shaken. (Hebrews 12:27) If in our heart of hearts we know God is God,
then we are on a solid foundation that will stand.
Sometimes this clutter keeps us from
receiving all that God has for us--whether it be a physical healing, inner
healing, financial provision, peace and joy, etc.
It is not a question of God’s ability or willingness to bless us. The question is, “What is the clutter that
keeps me from allowing my love for God that is in my heart of hearts to flow out
of me and allowing God’s love for me to flow into me?” Testing will come. The quicker we can get an eternal perspective about what is happening,
instead of just seeing the trial right before our eyes, the quicker those
distractions will be shaken off! We will start to become a conduit whereby His
Love can flow from Him to us and from us to Him!
2 Cor. 7:5-7 (NKJV) -
"For indeed, when we came to
Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were troubled on every side. Outside
were conflicts, inside were fears. [6]
Nevertheless God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus, [7] and not only by
his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was comforted in you,
when he told us of your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so
that I rejoiced even more."
The passage of scripture lets us know
that even Paul had distractions from the outside and fears on the
inside. Nevertheless God! God brought him into focus by sending Titus and by
raising up an army of intercessors on his behalf!
