We are the Beloved!

God loves us! If everyone truly believed and accepted it, we would be like little children around age 5 - 10, doing all we can to please Him. We would try, I mean really try. Expend effort and energy trying to make Him happy. We would do silly things to make Him laugh. He doesn't love us any less because we don't or any more than He does if we do but it would pull at His heartstrings. He would say about us as He did about David, "That child is after my own heart!" And it would give Him joy!

Beloved, that is what I try to do each and every day He blesses me to live. I love on Him by loving on you. I am like a child yet, I've let go of childish things but no my child-like wonder, curiousity and quest about Him and the Kingdom of God within me.

I can't possibly love you as much as Christ does but I can try. And in trying, He is glorified and I feel joy! Peace! Free! and loved in return!

I love you, Lord. And you, reading this? I love you, too.
