It is truly amazing to me just how much God cares for each one of us–including myself. The depth of intimacy He has in His love is well beyond what my flesh can absorb. I had a client yesterday who has been in a relationship now for a year. It is a healthy one and he is pondering what love is and if he is in love? He knows he doesn’t want to live out his life without her, but he is truly caught in the mystic of love. We brought into the picture what elements were included in his broad statement of not wanting to live out his life without her and that got him started. All of this had me reflecting on this topic of love.

My first marriage of 7 years taught me about commitment, and it taught me about deception. It wasn’t until I met my wife of today that I began to recognize what love is truly like. Kathy has taught me how to feel loved and how to give it. God’s love isn’t earned and neither is man’s love. Love inspires one to give, but love is an act of our heart. It is inspired within our spirit. I’ve lived a long time with this confusion, but God is making it so much clearer these days.

I still am learning about “I am worthy”, but what is clear is that I am worthy not from my actions, I am worthy because of God’s Love. He has shown this to you and me most vividly through giving us Jesus Christ. No greater demonstration of love exists. How grateful I am!
