Good morning and happy Wednesday. I just love my little dogs. They are so funny. But what they really are is loyal and loving unconditionally. Think about your relationships over the years, the good and the bad. They've had conditions of some kind. Very few have sustained themselves on the premise of unconditional. Not only do we do this with our friends and family, but we do this with God as well. "Oh God if you can just get me through this I will never do this again". Really? What does it feel like to be giving and loving to someone unconditionally and they don't reciprocate? Well, that's how we must be making God feel. But unlike us, He has a heart of true forgiveness. He forgets about it and does not hold it over you. Oh, the consequences of the choice you made will still be there, that's so you can learn from it, but God will get past it when you give it to Him and let Him. Our past is what we and others hold against each other. With that in mind, knowing my own past, I guess there are plenty of things to hold against me. That's the devils biggest and most powerful weapon against us. The crazy thing is, it's the easiest to defeat. God is God and nothing is more powerful than Him. He wants to fight for us, and does when we let Him. Say that again, when we LET Him. Yes, He's not gonna do anything on your behalf if you're not letting Him into your heart and surrendering your life to Him so that He can take care of you. The world can't see this and doesn't want to. That's why you'll be " persecuted for His name". To that I say, welcome Jesus freak. Unconditional love, so easy a dog can do it. Try it for yourself and see what happens. I dare ya. I double dog dare ya. In love always. <><
