“…God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” —1 Timothy 2:3-4 (ESV)

I love you! I really do! You know how I love you? Because I desire to spend every moment with you now & for all eternity. I Am always in your Presence, and I desire the same from you. But in your fallen world, I know that you won’t always be in My Presence. Sin does that. But I will always remain where I Am waiting for you—constantly prompting you with My Grace to be in My Presence. And to ensure that you’ll be in My Presence for all eternity, I sent My Son Jesus, to pay the penalty of your sin—which is spiritual death or eternity apart from Me. I love you so much, Jesus came not to condemn you, but to save you from that brutal penalty, thus ensuring you & I will never be separated. I did this for you and the entire world. It is My Gift of Grace prompted by My love for all, as I desire for all to be saved. It breaks My heart, but I also know that only some will truly receive My Gift of Grace in Jesus—and only those who do will be with Me for all eternity. But My desire is still for all, My love is still for all. I never hold back My love, knowing fully well most will accept Me under false pretenses or flat out reject Me. But that’s what love is. Giving your all and hoping for a relationship, but not expecting one. Otherwise, love wouldn’t be love. It would be a transaction. You, My child, received Me through Jesus because you were moved by My Grace and love, and not out of obligation. It’s when you truly experienced My Grace through Jesus is when your true love for Me was forged and started to grow—you want to be in My Presence more & more. And that’s how you know you love Me. Thank you for doing so! So go!…Even in the midst of your trial, love Me by sharing My love with others and do as I do. Give all of yourself, hope, but don’t expect. Let My Grace do it’s thing. I love you, My child!
