The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”
Zephaniah 3:17 NIV
We love because he first loved us.
1 John 4:19 NIV
The more I become awakened to the reality and depth of His love, the more I will be free of any fear and worry. This increased awakening (being "woke") occurs as I daily spend time being with Him.
While in a dream state I perceive that I am somewhere else, but when I awake I realize I was safe in my bed, and in my home all along. Similarly, as I truly awaken in my spirit, I realize that I had perceived that I was alone and journeying through this difficult life with little help or strength; but as I awaken I realize that I have never been alone, unsafe or without help.
It is Love that always is, was and will ever be. Perfect and ever-present Love is the true reality of our environment and existence. To experience this seemingly mystical reality all we need to do is simply wake up. You don't have to try to get into His love, you're already there.
[The following are the lyrics to a song, "Your Love broke through" - by Keith Green.
Like a foolish dreamer, trying to build a highway to the sky All my hopes would come tumbling down, and I never knew just why Until today, when you pulled away the clouds that hung like curtains on my eyes Well I've been blind all these wasted years and I thought I was so wise But then you took me by surprise
Like waking up from the longest dream, how real it seemed Until your love broke through I've been lost in a fantasy, that blinded me Until your love broke through
All my life I've been searching for that crazy missing part And with one touch, you just rolled away the stone that held my heart And now I see that the answer was as easy, as just asking you in And I am so sure I could never doubt your gentle touch again It's like the power of the wind
Like waking up from the longest dream, how real it seemed Until your love broke through I've been lost in a fantasy, that blinded me Until your love, until your love, broke through]
