Have you told God your deepest secrets? 

 Have you told God your deepest desires?

  Have you shared your fears, shame, guilt with God? But wait doesn't he already know it all?

 Yes, he's God all knowing, but there is a connection that happens when the child comes to the 

Father and says you know i think this, I feel this, it may not be what I should think or feel but that's whats

in my heart and on my mind.  I long to do this or that, to have this or that.  Intimacy comes when you share,

when you get real with someone without fear of  condemnation or being rejected. 

 Remember: God Loves you ! He created you he wants the best for you,

He has the unique  plans for just  you, no one else can achieve in life what you can,  the way you can.

Then after you tell him your heart, let him tell you his heart, what he thinks, sees, feels when he looks at

you through Godly unconditional eyes, not the worldly judgmental eyes that we usually get. 

Doing this you will start to form a trust that may be missing in your relationship with him.

You will share with whom you think really loves you, you will trust the one whom you think loves you.

God-Me-Connection. Get your journal out and start writing. You write first and let him write back to you.   

Hope Is Alive!  

God Loves You!      He chose you!        You are his beloveded!

What we all are looking for:  Love, Acceptance, Value, Worthiness.

God was hoping to get you to understand his Great Love for you when his 

only Son Jesus  Christ followed out the Fathers will by dieing for you.

Yes think about it someone died for you out of obedience and Love! 

No buts, take yourself out of the equation as you weren't even borned when this

 event took place over 2000 years ago. We had nothing to do with it. It wasnt if you deserved to  

be loved by what you said or did, or had or hadn't done that this living sacifice for you took place.

John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this than to lay down one's life for his friends" Jesus spoke.

Your loved with agape love.

Agape love is the self giving love that gives freely without asking anything in return, and

does not consider the worth of its object. Agape is more a Love by choice, which describes

the unconditional love God has for the world. 

So lets start right now renewing your mind , speak this outloud daily, 1 , 2 3 times. 

Speak outloud ............... Yes do it now open your mouth and say...........

God Loves Me, God Loves Me, God Loves Me.

God Loves Me ( put your name here) unconditional and there is nothing I can do about that.!

Also use this as a tool when you feel pressured from all sides, God Loves Me, God Loves Me,

God Loves Me and see how it will start a positive flow going.

Hope Is Alive!  

                                          Remember your "First Love".  He captured your heart. 

 You wanted to know everything about him, what he liked, disliked, you wanted to know his every thought. 

You probably spent hours on ends thinking how can I be the closet to him.

 What could I do so that he would want  to see me and  long to be around me as I do him.

You might of even changed a few of your ideas or attitudes to become more desirable to him.

You could of cared less about a sports car but now your thinking I could sit and just watch him work on

them all day and not say a word, just to be around him and I won't complain, This day could never be too

long,  as I am with him. You  listen closely to every word he speaks as you trust and admire.

His presence gives you peace, security, you  feel loved and wanted. Nothing will separate us.

You probably wore a smile most the time  regardless of what was going on in your life because

you are just filled with hope and expectations of what the future will hold for you. 

WOW makes me want to be there.

You can be everyday of your life. Your heart can have that same feeling. You can feel wanted, loved,

secure, protected, full of Hope and expectations of what today and the next and the next day will bring.

Ask Jesus to be your  "First Love" . Pray this prayer with me...

Dear Heavenly Father, you gave your son Jesus to come and be a living sacrifice for me , he shed his

blood just for me because of his unconditional endless and unfailing love he had just for me.  Jesus I want

you to be my first love. I desire to feel that way about you but I don't know how, life has wounded me

and my heart is numb. Light a spark in me that the flame can grow and grow to warm my heart again

and I can feel the love, forgiveness , acceptance, hope you came for me to have. In Jesus name I pray

Amen 

Bible says love God with your whole heart.

 Do you have your pen and paper handy, draw you a big heart  on your paper.  Now draw lines from top to

bottom as many as you need labeling each space with who or what you are loving out of your heart. 

 For example:  God has  a space, family, husband, children,  church, hobby, work  etc.

Now look at the heart and think about what the bible said, love God with your whole heart.  So if you have

others taking up space you have a divided heart. 

Well, wait Cindy how am I suppose to love if I don't give/love out of the heart. You are to love from the 

 overflow. 

Now draw you another heart and write real big inside of the heart  "Gods Love"!

Now look at the two.  Gods Love just makes you feel better doesn't it?  The divided heart will run dry

emotional burn out as  it has humans in it and we fall short to others causing us to lose heart or I don't

want to love again, it might be too painful, I need to protect myself.

But when God has our whole heart we are filled with love that never runs out, loves never fails us, and

loves that is  unconditional even when we or others have fallen short.

Its time to open up your heart and let Gods Love rain down into you.  Begin  by reading through the

Psalms and highlight all the times that his unfailing love is spoke of.  Understanding how perfect and

great his love is will fill you so you can love others in the overflow. This kind of love will allow you to

keep on loving even in the tough times because you are now pulling from Gods Love not your

own resources.
