I Am Loved

Give yourself permission to accept that you are loved. Love is God himself. Love is the transforming factor giving you life. Deep inside you is your greatest treasure, which is God, and God is love. Love finds love and multiplies itself in the loved one. God is love, and God cannot resist himself.

Take a minute to breathe in the word love. Then gently close your eyes, let your body relax, and sit quietly with Jesus without saying a word. It doesn’t have to be for long; simply breathe deeply, speak the word love, and sit with Jesus. If you do this regularly during your daily walk, it won’t be long before you find a noticeable change taking place in your attitudes and behavior. Breathing in the presence of God is a miraculous undertaking of the Holy Spirit, and there’s no way to fake it. This practice becomes more personal as you continue taking these love breaks.

You learn about love by living for God. He wants you to know him deeply, intimately, and personally. He wants you to think like him. You learn about love by learning about God. Nothing should stop you because you already have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16). Sometimes, it’s through tragedy and sorrow that you discover how loved you truly are. God’s love breaks through pain to see beyond it. It’s this life-transforming realization of God’s intense and personal love for you that keeps expanding in you.

God himself has revealed the secrets of loving and being loved in Scripture. Only he and his love define love. The power of love is to know God. Knowing Him, we learn to see ourselves through the eyes of love. There are no other eyes with which to see the world as it truly is.
