Receiving Love

Receiving love is the most significant grace that God gives His people.  I find it is not necessarily something that I can work up myself.  I can know that I am loved, that I am God's beloved, that His love towards me has been proven.  Yet the grace is that His love penetrates the defenses of my heart and the lies that play in my subconscious mind bringing a deep transformation of identity.

Contemplation and worship make room for the grace of love received to penetrate.  We wait on Him.  We make space for Him.  We open our spirits and hearts to the best of our abilities.  Yet we are dependent on Him for the grace to touch us deeply.  By faith, we press on, but our hearts hunger for the deeper things of God speaking to the deeper places of our soul.
