Monday of this week I wrote a late entry for this blog. My site indicates it was not published even though I had hit published upon finishing the writing of it. In case you can’t find it, I want to let the reader know about the message of that day. The morning for me had been one bombarded with temptations to step into porn and not believe the truths about being a new creation. A short time later I needed to get ready for a doctor’s appointment. It was then I received a text from my prayer warrior Lois. It simply said that she was nudged earlier that morning to pray for me specifically for the armor of God to be mine. I was overcome with the truth of God’s Love for me with that message. Yesterday I went to meet with Lois to personally thank her for the message and for being so obedient to God and His nudges to her. (Lois is 92 years old). Lois beamed and thanked me for coming by and letting her know this.

I have spent a lifetime trying to “be good enough” for God’s Love. This event I’ve just described has emphasized for me that it is time for me to open my arms and receive the LOVE God wants me to know, believe and trust is already mine. All that I have done and now do in His Name is good, but His Love precedes all of this. He wants me to be obedient, but that is an entirely different item from His Love for me. His Love motivates me to “stay the course”.

The other thing that hits me about this is that this message is not a selfish/egotistical one (as my father would have said). It is the genuine reality of God for you and me. Satan doesn’t want any of us to know God so intimately, but God is faithful not letting this evil one interfere with our walk with Him. PRAISE GOD!
