The Love of God

There is nothing we can do to make God love us more. In the same way, there is nothing we can do to make Him love us less. God loves us 100% all of the time, and all the time He is good! So often I think we strive to win God's love in "doing." While works are a measure of our responsibility as believers, we are called to "becoming". We need to become the example of Jesus in every way, through our thoughts, words, and actions. We achieve this only in spending time with the Holy Spirit. The more we do this, our "becoming" will be the overflow of our time spent with Him.

God wants to delight in what He creates. The only way He can do that is when we step into the fullness of all he has created us to be. For us to find that out, we have to spend time in His presence and in His word. In our works oriented world, sometimes it is difficult to understand that our fullfillment is determined by our surrender, not our striving. When we get to the place where we allow God to do His work without interruption, and in surrender, we will begin to step into the wonderful promises He has for us. Let us become what God has intended us to be!
