A Love Journal
What about keeping a 'Love' journal. to record how much God loves you, to begin or deepen your love relationship with God?......This thought came to me today as I began thinking of God's unfailing love. We usually ache and yearn for human love, which many times leaves us broken, empty  and or disappointed; while neglecting the unfailing love of the One who loves us just as we are. For even though God is sinless, he loves the sinner but hates the sin. He does not wait for me to change first but he loves me first and freely gives me the chance to enter this love relationship.
Can I honestly answer the question which God continues to pose to each person: ? ....Aku, do you love me? ... do you love me as I have love you?........do you love me more than these others? depending on how much you have been forgiven......... We cannot love what we don't know, and God has revealed his unconditional love   to us through Our Lord Jesus Christ who came to show us how much God loves us. The Holy Bible contains all the love stories of God through which we can discover this love of God., we have also the writings of the Saints and  especially the Love letters in the Messages of True Life in God (tlig.org) given to Vassula Ryden is worth reading for God has not ceased speaking to us. We can come to know and love Him as He loves us through His many graces He continues to lavish on us. ... He is both the Lover and the Beloved and we have all become His beloved sons and daughters through the Precious Blood of Jesus shed for humanity on the Cross. See how great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!... ( 1Jn 3: 1-2)....Waao!....... I'm a child of God......and loved by God.......not that I have done anything to earn it........ but He just loves me....... even me!........people may not love me for whatever reasons ...... but God loves me.........Discovering the unfailing love of God will help us love Him, more and more. So my answer to the question now is:  Yes Lord I love you, but my love is weak, come to my aid and strengthen me that I may love you more and more.......What will be your response?
