Invitation to a LoveFest

I read this verse (again, for-the-first-time) a couple of days ago. 

Mind - Blown 

An invitation given to Perfect Love

A LoveFest that all Love relationships are judged by.

Sheer perfection.

“…the one who loves Me will be loved by my Father. I also will love (Kathy) and will reveal Myself to (her).”   

No - my name isn’t in the original text.

Try it.

Put your name in there.

It’s personal. It’s for me. It’s for you. It’s for our today.

I have had a life-long belief that Jesus loves me. Even when I turned from Him, chose to not love Him in return, I never doubted.

But this!

This brings home so much more. The Father also loves me! I'm part of the conversation ... Again. Blows my mind!

Let’s break it down ...

   the one who loves Me

Me = Jesus the Divine, who freely came to this earth, through a messy birth canal, into a stinky dirty barn, living in all of the physical limitations, emotions, sadness, hormones, grief, loss

(Don’t worry, He never loses His sovereignty - He is God.

Another one of the mysteries of the Almighty)

We need to remember how much He gets us.

Thirst, hunger, passion, and at times, outright exhaustion.

He Gets It!

  will be loved by my Father.

my Father = the One Who created us for the simple fact that He wanted to. 

  Kathy WILL BE loved by my Father!

     It’s a Promise

     And He can’t break promises because He is God

And it keeps on going, my friend

  I (Jesus) will also love Kathy ~sigh~ and will reveal Myself to her

Myself = The Holy Spirit, the Comforter

God the Father, Jesus the Savior, revealed to me (to you)

with me

everywhere

all the time

in all circumstances because He said He would be.

Jesus lived life full, never lost sight of His purpose, the why He came to live among His creation in the first place. And when It was finished, when it was time for Him to go and prepare our Forever Home, He didn't leave us alone. 

“In a little while the world will see Me no longer, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live too. In that day you will know that I am in My Father, you are in Me, and I am in you. The one who has My commands and keeps them is the one who loves Me. And the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father. I also will love him and will reveal Myself to him.” (‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭19-21‬ HCSB)

I give you Jesus ...

You might live in an apartment in Shanghai, or in a village in Rwanda. Maybe you live in a tropical climate, like in Malaysia, a humid, hot, very hot community on a beach in El Salvador; or it might be pouring when you look out the window in your flat in Great Britain. You may be snowed in in Finland, or without power so you went to an internet cafe in the Ukraine or Russia, and found this blog.

The remarkable thing about all of our differences is the similarities that we share.

We need.

I need.
       ... a Savior
I need.
       … forgiveness every day

I've discovered that I crave His love, and can breathe only because He loves me

I have been,
     and continue to be
restored and comforted in very dark moments of my life.

If you're reading this, then please understand, the only thing,
                the only One I want you to know about me
          is my God.
He is a God that is not to be hoarded.
He is a God who is not to be kept hidden from others, or worshiped only in the private places.
He is a Savior,
     One who forgives
     One who loves, restores and comforts.
So this blog is written with the purpose of sharing
           with you …. my friends around the world
I give you  Jesus
