The lightbulb goes off
&
everything starts to make sense.
The dots are now connected
The "i" is dotted. The "t" is crossed.
Now what?
You look in amazement, yet are paralyzed at the same time
because
Now what?
GOD LOVES YOU
more than anyone else can or will ever love you.
Yup!
GOD WANTS TO BE WITH YOU
more than anyone else ever wants to be with you.
Yup!
But then the lightbulb starts to dim
as doubt sets in
because
Now what?
How do you live as one who is
LOVED
so deeply by the
ONE
who created you?
Is it possible when you don't feel or act so lovable?
Is it possible when you feel so alone?
Yup!
Now what?
Become like a little innocent baby
who instantly smiles at the silliest things
because a baby
RECEIVES
all that is given to them without question
because the lightbulb is always going off in a baby's life
as she is growing & changing every day
yet still has that precious heart tucked inside of her
that is so
TRUSTING
and always ready to
RECEIVE
immediately the free love given to her.
But then the baby grows up into a
you & a me~
Now what?
"People respond to the love of God differently.
· Some respond with a sense of self-superiority (“I’m so great, even God loves me!”).
· Some respond with doubt (“Can God really love even me?”).
· Some respond with wickedness (“God loves me, so I can do what I want”) (Guzik)
Now what?
"We have come to know [by personal observation and experience], & have believed [with deep, consistent faith] the love which GOD has for us. GOD is love, & the one who abides in love abides in GOD, and GOD abides continually in him" (I John 4:16)
Now what?
Let's become like a baby
and
BELIEVE so deeply
because we
RECEIVE immediately
the love that
is ours whether we feel it or not~
“To feel God’s love is very precious, but to believe it when you do not feel it, is the noblest.”(Spurgeon)
And
Live Like You're Loved (listen to the song)
