SylviaAnd now remain these three: faith, hope, and love.

But the greatest of these is love


Listen with your spirit to Romans 8:38-39. "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Your Father made you beautiful and beloved. Beloved one, be blessed with receiving the Father-heart of God and his matchless love for you. His love revealed in you is a gold mine of identity and legitimacy from which to live out your birthright confidently and purposefully. Be blessed with the belonging, inclusion, and worth that his love nurtures in you. You can be convinced deep in your spirit that nothing in heaven, earth, or hell can separate you from your Father's love. Nothing in your past, present, or future can take his love from you. Be blessed with being sure of his love in your fears and worries, in your problems and pain, in good times and bad. He promises that because of his love, his power, and his blessing upon you, he causes pain and negative things to be transformed into good. Be blessed with deeply abiding in that truth.

Listen with your spirit to John 15:9,11. "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love... I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete."

Beloved one, I bless you with being filled with complete and overflowing joy, knowing that Jesus loves you as his Father loves him. Imagine that! Be blessed with experiencing that rich love of your Father. Be blessed with deep heart identity as God's very own beloved child, securely loved in his family, calling him "Abba, dear Father." See the gifts, the presence, the hand of your Father, his truth, and the touches of his love all through your life. You can experience your Father's faithful love for you, with your heart knowing, feeling, and delighting in the love that your Father expresses to you. Be blessed with experiencing that so often that you never doubt your Father's love. Know deeply in your spirit the truth that you are accepted, affirmed, and capable. Receive God's love that casts out fear. You can be completely persuaded that nothing can separate you from his love.           

God is love. You are loved by him. Know deeply that your Father's favor is upon you, he likes you, he enjoys you, he takes pleasure in who you are today, regardless of what you are doing or have done. Be blessed with being secure in your Father's love, having the peace of Jesus in your relationship with your Father. Receive his communication of his love to you in a thousand ways. He gives creative and unique reminders of his love for you. Be blessed with recalling countless times that your Father has been with you, has loved you, has taken care of you, has blessed you. You can do nothing to make him love you more and nothing to make him love you less.

Be blessed to love and be loved, to enjoy life and enjoy your Father and be enjoyed by him. Now abide faith, hope, and love, but the greatest of these is love.

I bless you with his banner of love over you.
