The Love of God

That’s THE key – dwelling in Gods love… resting there, He gives you all you need, all joy, peace, love, strength, rest, freedom! If I am His dwelling place and I am free, then why wouldn’t I dance?! His love is better than LIFE (Psalm 63). That’s powerful! Taking the time to be in His love, rest, feel Him, dwell only on Him, that’s they key to living an abundant life. He kept saying that you should have a Sabbath day to rest (Isaiah 58:13-14), I believe that He still wants us to do that, and not compromise, no matter what the world gives you, what position, power, money, prestige… honors, you still never compromise on what God tells you! New and old testaments talk about it, old testament in Isaiah says that that’s where you will find your joy is in keeping the Sabbath day Holy! The new testament says that it is right to do good on the Sabbath day (Matt. 12:12)… I still feel like Jesus is saying that we should give that day fully unto Him to rest and learn and love… not work, exercise, shop even… Romance with Jesus is the only way to make it! The only way to live life…. It’s the only perfect romance that will ever be, because He is perfect and people are not, if I have the best husband in the world, we will still both mess up and let each other down here and there, but Jesus, He will never mess up or let you down or disappoint, He is perfect even when we are not and loves us unconditionally when we are so imperfect, His love is the only thing that makes life worth living all the time. We need to seek it at all costs, and it does cost, your time, your pride, your fear, your dignity, your other priorities, your love, we think were too busy and cant, don’t have time… well friends I am saying we need to make time, I know I am going to try my hardest to make time no matter what! Because that precious time make the rest worth being alive, if you can dwell in His presence all the time, that’s when life is lived abundantly, and you can only have that by spending the time in the secret place, totally abandoning yourself, being raw, vulnerable, real with Jesus, needing Him, and letting His love hit you. I say at least once a week take as long as you can, a whole day even, and just give it to Him, rest in His love, in His presence, do what you hear Him saying… let Him heal, restore, love, fill you up, and don’t rush it, don’t have any other demands on you at that time, give it fully to Him, its so worth it…
Exodus 33:7-23 are such amazing powerful verses, about Gods glory, His presence being with us, and His rest being with us, we should be like Moses in verse 15 who tells God if His presence doesn’t go with him he wont go! God has mercy and favor with Moses just like He does with us! God spoke with him face to face as a friend talking to a friend… and when Moses asked to see Gods glory He lets His goodness pass in front of him, so he can only see his back because he would die if he saw Gods face! God covers him in His hand, it says the cleft of a rock is where he should stand, but then says He lifted His hand so Moses might see His back… God was letting Moses hide in what He already did for us, in the hole in His hand from the cross…

Jesus words to us –

Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned. SOS 8:6-7
