It seems of late that God is wanting me to more fully not only understand His Love for you (me), but to also receive it as fully as He intends for it to be received. I longed for God’s Love to remove for me all the burdening torment of my past. Today I so fully get to see why the memories of my past are important as I listen to those tormented today with their own burdens. What God’s Love has done is remove all of the bondage from that past. Instead of a bondage, there is a continuous nudge to let others know they don’t have to hide their torments from someone trusted God has placed on their heart. Just as God brought His help for me, I get to be a help to others. In so doing, I see God’s Love at work and I receive a confirming joy within telling me, “See, wasn’t it worth it?!” I just tear up as I write this for YES, it was worth every ounce of it!

What a blessed Savior and Lord we get to serve!
