Some people can be a bit prickly too about receiving God’s love especially when things seem to go wrong and they want to say “God how come You say You love me but You let this awful thing happen?” When that happens we need to know God still loves us, He's not mad at us in any way and He's not punishing us. He is still in control and we can still trust Him and hold tightly to His promises of healing, restoration, provision or whatever it is we need.
We only have to look at the Cross to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God loves us.
God says He wants to lavish His love on us but if we hold Him at arms’ length then we can’t receive what He so willingly offers. Sometimes we feel we can't receive His love because we feel condemned or guilty about something, and forget Jesus took it all away.
It’s wonderful to know God knew the very worst about us before He chose us so He’s never shocked if we get it wrong. I think it’s on those occasions He holds out His arms to us even more and offers us His love again.
I pray that not just on the good days but even on the difficult days, the sad days, the days we make mistakes, we’ll always run to God and not from Him, and not be a prickly hedgehog but someone who’s open to receive His love all the time, we need it so much.😊
Let’s receive His love afresh today and feel His loving arms around us.💕
