We all have days when everything that can go wrong does go wrong. We tend to wonder where God is in all of this and how can things go so bad if he loves us so much. If he loves us so much that he gave his only Son to save us then how can things get so mixed up? I have had a string of days like this recently and I know that many of you have also. While seeking Father for answers I heard his soft, gentle, loving voice whisper in my heart. He gave me the following words and asked me to share them with all of you.
My child, my beloved child, don’t you know how much you are loved? Don’t you know that in your bad days and your good days my love never changes? It’s the one constant in the universe. When all else goes wrong you can count on this one thing: You are loved.
Never let circumstances make you feel unloved. They are not related. The reason Jesus said "in this world you will have tribulation", wasn’t to judge you or condemn you. It was to show you that through all these things we are with you. That is why the next thing he said was "be of good cheer for I have overcome the world." He was trying to tell you that no matter what comes your way our love for you is constant and unchanging. My love for you will never change no matter what you go through or how many times you get frustrated and want to quit and walk away. Besides, if you walk away I'll just go with you and love you where you are.
Think about the ones you love. Do they have bad days because your love for them somehow fails and their world falls apart? Does that make any sense at all? Of course it doesn’t. Circumstances don’t change love. Love changes circumstances. In all these things if you will just stop when you are having a hard day and meditate on my love for you then things will change. This is why Jesus said to be of good cheer. It’s the good cheer and filling your heart with thoughts of my love for you that strengthens you.
It’s through the understanding that whether you are exalted or crucified you are loved the same. My children, you must learn to build your lives upon the fact that you are loved and not base my love for you on what you are going through. Most of my children think I am with them when they are walking in good times and I’m angry when things go wrong. This is a lie. I love you and I am with you the same all the time.
My love for you never changes and I will never change my mind about you. I chose you before the foundation of the universe and I will never change my mind. When I chose you I knew all your happy times and sad times. I knew every word of praise you would ever say, and every angry word you would ever mutter when you lost your temper, and I chose you anyway. Your little faults are no match for my eternal love. Your temporary problems are no match for the grace that is available to you.
I have been to the end of eternity and you are still with me there, and I still love you. Rest in me my beloved one. I can never leave you for you are in me just as I am in you.When you believed in me I put you in a safe place. I put you in me so that I could never lose you. I am in you, you are in Christ and Christ is in me.
I am one God. I am the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Yes we are three but we are one. We are wrapped together with love so tightly that you can’t separate us. And now you are in us also. If any man be joined to the Lord he is one spirit.
We made you so much a part of us that you wonder sometimes was that me thinking or my Father? Yes it was all of us. The more you walk with me in this great love our thoughts become one. Many will quote you and say “my thoughts are not your thoughts and my ways are not your ways” that was true before you were born again. Things are different now, you have the mind of Christ.
Think about this for a moment. I waited years and years and years for a man to walk the earth that I could have open fellowship with, and speak to him face to face. I had this relationship with Jesus. When Jesus came out of the water after being baptized I couldn’t contain my joy any longer. I had to express my great love and excitement. I proclaimed loudly,"This is my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!" I say this about each of my children every day.

As it is written in Ephesians; I have blessed you with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ. He goes all over heaven telling everyone how blessed he is to have you and proclaims to heaven what a blessing you are. He speaks blessings over you and pronounces his love for you. All of heaven rejoices over each of you because they know the great joy I have because you are mine.
I love you the same as I love Christ and that will never, ever change. Do you think that he also had good days and bad days? One day they are throwing branches in the street and saying “Hosanna in the highest” and another day they were screaming “Crucify Him”. It’s a good thing that he knew he was loved or he might have not finished his mission.
Think about all these things my beloved. On good days and bad days think about my love for you. When all else fails this is constant. I so loved the world that I gave my only begotten son. I never stopped loving the world. I love each and every person on the planet. Those who respond to that love get to enjoy it. How I wish they would all respond today.
Love is the plan and love has the plan. I always have a plan and here it is: Build your life on the fact that I love you and there is a bloody cross to prove it. Let my love be the source of your joy and my joy be your strength. Bad days will come and go but my love came to stay. Rest in me. Rest in my love. Become one with me in mind as you are in spirit. Become Love with me.

I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time.
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
