“You will love, freely and without abandon – you will love freely for I will freely love you – I will freely love you and you will freely love My Church as I have told you – and yet you will love no one like you love Me – I will be your first love – no one else – no one else will have that title – I will be your first love”…
“No one else will compare to Me in your life – this is idolatry Andrew when someone else compares to Me in your life – no one else will compare to Me – they will all fall ‘beneath’ Me – I am the One who you love – no other – no other – no other like Me – I am the One whom you love and all other ‘loves’ will come beneath Me – they are ‘nothing’ to you – as My word says you need to hate them in comparison to your love for Me – they are fickle and they are friable – they are not to be trusted – but I am – all will forsake you Andrew – all at some point in their lives will forsake you – they cannot run with you – but you will not be forsaken by Me – I alone am the One running with you – running with you ‘all the way’ as you have said – and I will never let you down – never – I promise you this – those who put their trust in Me are never forsaken and I will not – ever – forsake you – for you have won My Heart and My Heart is yours forever”, declares the Lord who has mercy upon you and who chose you from birth to know Me – declares the Lord…
I surrender to this word Lord, it is causing me a lot of pain to think that I’m just a slave who does what You say, I just love when You tell me to but I surrender to this and I see as I type that the ones who You put Your Love in my heart for they will be the ones who I love and I will see Your Love expressed through me and so my joy will be found in that whether or not they receive my – or Your – love expressed through me – I surrender – this means that there’s no vested interest in me in their response – whether they respond positively or not, i.e. receive me – the messenger, I accept this – give me Your pain, the pain of Your rejection which You feel when those who don’t receive You reject You – let me feel Your pain and enable me to love – to continue to love – whatever the response is from anyone whom You call me to love – this is my fear – being rejected by those whom You call me to minister to – I admit this and admit this fear of rejection – cover me with Your Grace as I surrender to You – this is scary for me – to trust You in this way – I surrender to love anyone who You tell me to – Love You, Andrew
Amen.What a wonderful word!
