There are so many who do not know or do not understand the free and flowing love of God the Father. So many, including many of His followers (believers, Christians), only see the requiring and judging side of the Lord. So many walk in guilt and shame because of their sin, and wind up in bondage and condemnation because they think they have to live a certain way, or have to do certain “religious things” to get the Lord’s favor.
Lord, open our eyes and help us to bring revelation to those around us. Help us to bring a new understanding of Your love and the freedom you want all to walk in.
God so loved that He gave.... (John 3:16) – He lives to give out of His love
God demonstrated His love to us that while we were enemies Christ died for us (Rom 5:8) - it is not about being good enough to receive, it is about simply receiving.
Our Father encourages all to ask and lavishes good things to those who come to Him (Matt 7:7-11)
Our Father gives out freely of the Holy Spirit to all who ask (Luke 11:9-13)
The ministry that Jesus was sent to do was to bring freedom to the captives, He came not to rally the healthy, but to gather all the hurting, the sick, and those who need healing. The anointing on Jesus is to preach the gospel to the poor, to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, to bring sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. (Luke 4:18-19; Is 61:1,2)
So many need to simply know that they are loved and accepted. People need to see that the Lord is not a stern and mean God who is always looking for what is wrong in their life. Instead, people need see the love and compassion of a Father who desperately longs for His children to return to Him. May people see the Lord as the father in Luke 15, who daily looked for, hoped for, and prayed for the return of his son. The father’s heart was poised for reconciliation and reunion - He was not there to judge or require.
Let a revelation come forth, let people see, really see and really understand the love of God.
The best way for us to be able to deliver this message to a needy world is for each of us to receive a fresh new understanding and revelation of the love of the Father. As we experience this and as the love of our Father God embraces us we will be able to minister with a new level of power and effectiveness – because He has made us to be ambassadors of His love.
God bless you all.
