Transformed on Tuesdays

Everyone loves being in love. The honor, the thrill, and the certainty that we are special make lovers glow.

Now consider the fact that the One who loves us is the most important being in the universe, and we should literally be walking on air. But so often we’re not.

At times, God’s amazing, unconditional love is brushed aside because we are unwilling to love and accept who He has made us to be.

Two weeks ago we began discussing the importance of accepting who God created you to be (click here). We discovered that when we begin to see ourselves as He does everything else starts to fall into place.

Continue opening yourself up to His love by meditating on the truths below. Take time to absorb them into your very soul and don’t forget to personalize them by replacing the underlined pronoun with your own name.

10 Evidences of God’s Love for Me ~ Part III

7. God sings over me

Do you remember those first few nights with your newborn child? When you two were the only ones awake in the middle of the night when darkness had blanketed the earth and the silence was thick. Except for one thing… if someone listened very closely they would hear the steady creak of a wooden rocker, back and forth, back and forth, and hear you sweetly singing a song of love over your precious child.

Now change the picture a bit. It’s night, your Heavenly Father is up, and the song He is singing is a song over you.

Far-fetched? Not really.

The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17

Don’t forget to replace the underlined personal pronouns with your name. It’s powerful.

Zephaniah tells us that God rejoices over you with singing. His voice is lilting with love and delight all because of you.

God sings over you!

8. God tells me His secrets.

Sharing secrets with a friend is a sacred trust. We only tell soul secrets to those with whom we have deep intimacy and trust. Hearing the secrets of another is an incredible privilege.

Friendship with God is reserved for those who reverence Him.
With them alone He shares the secrets of His promises.
Psalm 25:14

Imagine God cupping His hand to your ear and whispering words He intends for you alone. God’s Spirit continually whispers to the hearts of those in whom He makes His home. He tells you the truth of who you are, how important you are to Him, and His purpose for you in the world.

At times, God’s whispers may seem almost inaudible. His truths are easily blocked by busyness, inattentiveness and sin. But at other times, His words are a megaphone shouting His love into your ear. Either way, take the time to listen. God has secrets to share and you don’t want to miss a single one.
