All My Love Sealed in Blood!


But the love of the Lord remains forever with those who fear him.” Psalm 103:17

What an amazing week it has been learning how loved we are. The greatest part about the stories Christ shared with us, is that today He is alive and well and sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. He is active and involved in the lives of 7 billion people of whom He absolutely loves and adores. He sits right next to us pouring out His love and mercy. He does it individually, with complete intimacy, and has all the time in the world for us. I pray and hope your heart has been filled with His love. And I hope you have a new perspective on what it is like to be truly loved. In case you don’t, I have a few more love letters for you.

Dear __________ ,

   Please never forget the good things I have done for you. I forgive all your sins. I heal all your diseases, and I ransomed you from death. I surround you with love and tender mercies and fill your life with good things. Your youth is renewed like the eagles! I give you righteousness and justice when treated unfairly. I revealed My character to Moses and My deeds to the people of Israel. I am merciful and gracious; slow to anger and full of unfailing love. I will not constantly accuse you nor will I remain angry forever. I have not punished you for all your sins, nor have I dealt with you as you deserve. My unfailing love toward those who fear Me is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. I have removed your rebellious acts as far away as the east is from the west. I am a Father to all my children, tender and compassionate to those who fear Me. I understand how weak you are and I know you are only dust. Your days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, you bloom and die. The wind blows, and you are gone as though you have never been here. But My love remains forever with those who fear Me. My salvation extends to the children’s children of whom are faithful to My covenant, and who obey My commandments! I have made the heavens my throne; from there I rule over everything. (Psalm 103)  
    
All my love sealed in blood,

Jesus

No one on the face of the earth is capable of loving you that way. Nor are you able to love that way without Jesus in you. Jesus displayed real genuine love, and is our true “Soul” mate! He is the very one who acts and chooses to love no matter what “He has not punished us for all our sins, nor does he deal with us as we deserve.” Psalm 103:10 “Our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, we bloom and die. The wind blows, and we are gone-as though we had never been here. But the love of the Lord remains forever.” His love remains forever!!!!

Jesus thank You for loving us forever! Thank You that You gave us the gift of mercy and grace and that You don’t deal with us as we truly deserve. That is a gift Lord I pray we never take for granted. Father as we carry on about our day, I ask for Your love to fall afresh on the broken hearted, the lost, and those who question if Your love is even real. Teach us and show us what real love is and help us to be loving people. Amen
