Each day, we should seek to do right. Not because we think it will cause us placement within the Lord’s heart…but more rather because we’ve been shown love when we didn’t deserve it.  We’ve been shown mercy, when mercy should have failed.  We’ve been shown grace, when none should have been offered.  We are loved just as we are.  We are the light of the Lord’s heart.  He rejoices over us.  Look at yourself, do you find areas to be rejoiced over within you?  The Lord does and honestly…that’s all that matters.  His love is pure and unselfish.  His love gives WELL BEFORE it takes.  His love heals the brokenness within us, but we have to be willing to allow the Lord’s love to become the reality that we stare at in a given day...not listing all that is failing to go the way we planned it.
God loves you.  It has taken me years to more fully understand what this statement means to our lives.  Sure, we’ve all heard it, but it isn’t until you start to place this statement as a foundation within your heart and mind, that you start to see the effects of it.  It is His audience that we should seek first.  It is upon His passion for us that we should rest our head.  It is His Love that your head is Lifted. God’s fullest blessings upon your evening.
