GOD bless you, Jenise, and yours. May the LORD overwhelm you and everyone with the blessing of His Loving presence.
"GOD’s love has been poured into our hearts."
Romans 5:1-5 ESV “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because "God’s love has been poured into our hearts" through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.”
Poured into: filled with, given abundantly, bestowed upon, to convey as a gift, to give something that is precious, priceless."
Pursue: run after, seek, follow, continue to chase, engage, care for, hold on to, not let go, never leave, stay with.
Isaiah 43:1-28 NLT 4. “Others were given in exchange for you. I traded their lives for yours because you are precious to me. You are honored, and “I love you.”
And so, we pray.
Oh, LORD, yes, You alone are GOD. You are the only One, and there is no other.
Who are we that You would Love us so, who are we that You would pursue us even when we didn’t know You or desire You.
Oh, GOD, we know Your Love is loyal. Yes, Your Love is beyond amazing. It surpasses our understanding. And it is true, it is, You have poured Your Love into our hearts, overwhelming us with its everlasting greatness, so now we can only say with all that we are, LORD, "We love You too."
We Love You, LORD! We love You! Forever will we Love You!
Now, we ask You, our Loving GOD, to help us surrender our lives to You more and more, moment to moment, day by day, so You can use us to tell others about Your Love for them so they will also come to know You and be overwhelmed with Your dear Love.
We ask that Your unimaginable great Love will touch the hearts of all those souls You have placed in our lives, those beloved people who have yet to be changed by Your "precious, priceless everlasting Love."
Yes, this is our prayer.
In the mighty Name of Jesus Christ, our LORD and Savior, we pray. Amen
Thank You, LORD, for Loving us all.
"When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you." Isaiah 43:2 NLT
GOD bless you all!

This was perfectly timed--I've been meditating on חסד as found in Ruth. Even though Ruth is a Moabite, and technically outside the covenant, Naomi says God will show her this covenant love. It's so powerful to think on.

Amen, Craig!
