Something happens inside us when we fully understand and accept the unconditional love of our Saviour. When we receive this truth deep with our being and begin to take hold of its significance, there is nothing we cannot do.
Suddenly, we are not inhibited by our lack of courage, by our fear of failure. Our confidence comes in knowing that God is with us, beside us, and for us. He is cheering us on from the sidelines. It is in this place that we can begin to change and heal, because we know we are loved, just the way we are.
This is where the journey begins. Then slowly, lovingly, He takes us further. We deal with painful memories, recurring sins, lack of loving kindness towards our loved ones and mostly towards ourselves. We stop the enemy from the onslaught of destructive thoughts.
We focus less on ourselves and more on others. Grace becomes easier to give in situations that once made us angry or irritable. We desire to serve, rather than being served.
We become open to the possibility of change. And this makes us willing to improve ourselves in many areas of life. The lure of being a "better, whole person" is attractive to us.
We fully understand our limitations and weaknessess and yet know that when we accept his love , all things are possible.
Understanding God's love for me, is perhaps the most powerful, life changing event I've ever experienced.
