He Loves Me

If I started to tell you everything that has happened or everything I have heard and learned this weekend you would not believe me. It has been quite the weekend, but over the last few hours I have quieted my heart and sat with a book and talked with Father. The book is so good that I am going to share some of the points I have read. I realize that I am not giving the context, but hopefully enough food for thought that you may wish to read the book; or at least take the thought to Father and hear what He has to say to you about it. He Love Me by Wayne Jacobsen. windblown media

* When the enemy drove a wedge between Eve and her Creator , he had won the moment. Everything we do as a result of not trusting God and his intentions toward us draws us into the everdeepening bondage of sin. page 125

* For the power of the cross to significantly change our lives, it would have to restore the trust that was shattered in Eden. page 126

* Perhaps when we don't understand or feel His love for us we need to pray " Jesus we choose to believe in the Father's love for us because you did. Give us your faith to stand right here in trust that our whole lives are in your hands". page 130

* Because of the cross, we are no longer oppressed by the need to appease God. We are free to live in his love and, as we'll see, that can completely transform everything about the way we think and live. page 131

* "I have spent all my life trying to earn points with someone (our Father) who wasn't even keeping score" page 136

* God has done everything to demonstrate His irrefutable love, but He will not make us live there. We can still live less loves, pursuing our own agenda with our own resources... page 137

* "The key to living a productive Christian life is not waking up every day trying to be loved by God, but waking up in the awareness that you are already His beloved." page 138

* "People who live out of a genuine love relationship with the God of the universe will live in more power, more joy and more righteousness than anyone motivated by fear of His judgment." page 141

* God enjoys taking fearful slaves to sin and teaching them how to live as beloved sons and daughters. He knows how to peel off layers of selfishness and shame to shape His image in us page 157
