God's Love

Good morning and happy Thursday. From last nights small group discussion came this revelation to Lindsey. Her parents based their love and help on her performance. While God shows His love even as we perceive ourselves as failing. That is powerful and so true for so many. Even for ourselves as parents. But in that to we have to find that God does discipline, but it's with love and care for us based on nothing done but what's ahead. We are the opposite. We discipline out of love but because of what's been done. God doesn't walk beside or behind us in our journey, He walks ahead of us with His hand held out to us to follow. Everything with Him is positive. We bring the negativity and doubt into the relationship. When we let go of that and truly trust Him, then we grow in a more positive and productive way. I can't fathom the depth of His love. I just know and trust that it's enough for all of us and then some. I want to love like that. In love always <><
