Reflect/Think on His Love

Good morning GIFTED Life Speaker!

I know Christmas is not until Friday, but you don’t have to wait until then to reflect on Christ. Just take a moment and think about His LOVE! Think about His goodness! Think about His Grace! Think about His Mercy. Think about all that you have been through, all the mess, all the relationships, all the hell, all the ups and downs, all the frustration, all the bitterness, all the disappointments, the healings, the deliverance, the new days, the fresh starts, the new seasons. God was right there in all of it. You may have thought He left you, but He reminded me this morning: “I may have been quiet, but I was right there.”

Sometimes in our life we do not want to be vulnerable and love like we should because we have been hurt so many times, but look at how many times we have hurt God. Look at how many times we have disappointed Him with choices and decisions and HE STILL LOVES US. He loves us past our failures and mistakes. We must love ourselves, so that we can love unconditionally the way God created us to love. I can only tell you what I know. Yes I have held onto a lot of hurt and things from relationships that I carry around but I am FREE! When I truly think about Christ in my life and I know that everything died on the cross that day He gave His life, why not that situation or that thing I carry? It’s dead. I am not bitter and I forgive. I let go. I release.

I pray today that as you reflect, you really take the time to examine the baggage you carry around. It’s not always easy to forget but every time we think about it, start giving God some praise, start worshipping, and start thinking on Jesus.
