You are Loved!

TEA FOR TWO GOD & YOU

LOVE

LOVE is stronger, love is greater Your love awakens me We can fill our hearts with his love Let us encounter his love Let His love surrounds us We need his presence

We need his love

These are words from a popular hymn sang in praise at church. Yet we sometimes fail to believe that God really loves us and that his love is deeper than our wishes for Romantic love.

God seems so far away when we are dealing with a problem or our hearts are broken. Yet, if he sometimes can’t seem to reach us he sends special people into our paths. Or we run across a scripture or message that speaks to our dilemma.

Several years ago a young girl was alone and felt so unloved. Checks were in the mail from her part time job, but there really wasn’t more than $10 in her checking account. She had drifted away from her childhood belief in God. I don’t really need him I can take care of myself. She didn’t realize that circumstances would change so quickly and her lucrative job would disappear.

There wasn’t any food in her refrigerator and even her small dogs had refused to eat the last of the steamed macaroni she had boiled for them.

She was hungry and nowhere to turn. Flipping through the T.V. channels she heard the message; the spirit of the Lord is around you. You need him. Let him come into your heart. She knelt down near her bed and called out to God in the only prayer she could vaguely remember from her childhood!

What happened to that God of her childhood?

What happened to her spiritual believes of his perfect love?

As she knelt and prayed, she felt a miracle happen and realized the Spirit of the Lord was near. She fell asleep.

Awakening the next morning she realized a difference. She felt a new presence. She felt his love. From that moment she decided she would pursue a relationship with her heavenly GOD. Perhaps then things would change.

At the mailbox that day a strange letter arrived with a beautiful card addressee unknown. As she opened it, to read a $100 bill fell to the ground. A miracle happened now. The spirit of the Lords is here. The evidence was all around. And there was money for food, and there was room for God in her life again.

She whispered to herself as she headed up the steps to her apartment.

He is Alive!He is alive
