love.

“The Lord says that there is nothing that you can do that would make
Him love you more there is also nothing you can do that would make Him
love you less. He loves you because He loves you because He loves you
because He loves you because He loves you because He loves you because
He loves you because He loves you because He loves you because He
loves you, because that is what He is like, it is His nature to love,
and you will always be the beloved. And His love is unchanging, and He
loves you 100%, He won’t love you any better when you become better.
He loves you 100% right now, and even if you have no plans to become
better, He will still love you 100%; because He loves you, because
that’s the way that He is, and even if you don’t want to change, He
will love you 100%. Even if you have no plans to walk with Him, He
will love you 100%, because that’s his nature. He loves all the way
all the time. His love is unchanging. What will change says the Lord
is your ability to receive my love, and this evening I want to cram
some more of that ability inside you. So I challenge you says the
Lord, open your heart to me, open your heart to me and you will
receive more of my love than you’ve ever experience before, I dare you
says the Lord, come on, open you heart to me, give me your heart, give
me whatever your obstacle is, I’ll take it, I’ll remove it out of the
way, because I love you as you are right now. I love you 100% as you
are right this moment. I love you as you are, so be loved. You are the
beloved, it is your job says the Lord, to be loved outrageously, it is
why I chose you, and it is why I set my love upon you, that you would
live as one who is outrageously loved. That you would receive a
radical love, so radical it will blow all your parodies of what you
think love is. And know says the Lord, I will love you outrageously
all the days of your life, because I don’t know how to be any
different, this is who I am, and this is who I will always be, this is
the I Am that I promised you, I am He that loves you outrageously. And
you may love me back with the love that I give you; you may love Me
back outrageously, with the outrageous love that I bestow upon you.
And know this says the Lord you can only love Me as much as you love
yourself. So My love comes this evening to set you free from yourself,
to set you free from how you see yourself. To set you free from the
smallness of your own thinking about yourself, My love comes to set
you free from rejection, and from shame, and from low self-esteem, and
from despair and from abuse. Because when I look at you says the Lord,
I see something that I love, and I see someone that I can love
outrageously. And I have so much to bestow upon you, so much to give
you, so many places to take you in My heart, but you can’t go there
unless you allow Me to love you. And my love for you, will break every
barrier, bring every wall crashing down, and know this says the Lord,
My love damages fear, My love hates fear My love will fight fear it
will fight fear in you it will fight fear around you, and if you have
fear this evening says the Lord, then know that you have a treat in
store, because My perfect love casts out fear, there is no fear where
I am present, because My love casts out fear. Beloved, you are My
beloved, you are My beloved, and in My love I want you to feel good
about yourself.”
