Found the reading to be very powerful. I looked out of myself for years to find love. What I came to realize when I came into recovery, and my son got caught up in his addiction, I passed a lot of my fears along to him.
I didn't know how to show and express love and the two of us are getting better now he too is in recovery yet I know he still has a problem with it. I try to remember to say, I Love You Son" when he phones. He doesn't have a phone I can call to get in touch with him. So my love is sent in prayer and hopefully, he is open to receiving it.
I heard more years ago than I care to remember, about a little boy who was asked who God was. He replied, Teacher, everyone knows, God is a feeling."
If I had to add a feeling to God. It would be love. It is unconditional, forgiving, and caring.
God is as He reveals Himself to me today. The key for me, is to keep looking for Him. When I think I KNOW who God is, I might just stop looking and listening for Him.
God is great. God is good. Let us thank Him for this food. For the food and everything else in my life. He has been very good to me.
God is Good. Good is God. God is Love. Love is God.
Quote:
1 John 4:18-19
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us.
