What kind of love is this


I am uncertain about some things and some things are just more solid. I wonder all the time about what the LORD could have possibly thought when HE was on the Cross thinking of me. HE was there carrying my anxiety, my load, my cancer, and all things unclean about me. What kind of love is this? What kind of love is it that today, with all the burdens that I have and all the stain of guilt, shame and anger that makes me feel unclean that the LORD loves? I know that the love that HE has for me is so unwavering and unquestionably mine. To meditate on what "kind of love" would take me a lifetime. I know that I have an awesome GOD who is always ready to hear what I have to say--no matter what it is. There is nothing that shocks HIM or surprises HIM. Nothing can sneak up on HIM and take HIM by surprise. And when we have no idea what may be out there for us, HE protects us with a jealousy like there is no other. I know that HE is possessive of what HE loves and HE loves me! This is the best example and when I tell others that I am possessive of what I love, it is because I have the best example. What kind of love is this? I am beginning to understand just what the word "love" means. This is unconditional to me and over me. When I feel that I cannot raise my head from the weight of shame or guilt, I am reassured that I am loved. When I have enough anger and hurt in my heart, I know that I am cleansed. Love covers [over] a multitude of sins. (1 Peter 4:8) This reminds me of a song that I was raised with: Where charity and love prevails, there GOD is ever found; brought here together by Christ's love by love are we thus bound. We are ever bound!

Possessing on. Encouraging on!
