We really have no idea how much we are loved by the Father.
I can't tell you how many times I have heard these type of comments in Christian circles over the past number of years, but I guess we are all a little thick, and have needed it repeated until we get it.
In this 21 Day Reformation I have an overwhelming sense, not only for myself, but for all who are involved, both publicly and secretly, that He is revealing His love to us in brand new ways. Although we are all making choices of reformation, I am keenly aware of His overwhelming love that is being poured out upon all of us.
If we were God, how would we respond to our failures? Shame, blame, condemnation, etc. That's why we aren't God.............. thank God!!!!
My girlfriend has a saying: "NO BS" - With God, there is no Blame or Shame.
He wants to give us brand new eyesight. He wants us to look at ourselves and others with His eyes of love.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

I think that TACF was just a small sample of us understanding the Father's love towards us.
From the time Amanda was still little, my husband would sing over her "You Are So Beautiful To Me". We now sing this in our worship services...I am overwhelmed with emotions each time we sing this. I picture my Heavenly Father singing this over me...I am indeed Loved by my Daddy!!

Jesus Loves ME - this I KNOW!!! Not just because the Bible tells me so, but because HE has lavished His Love on me. It is one thing to be told something is true, it is a different matter when you KNOW it is true because you have experienced it. God loves "hands on" experience because He knows you will not soon forget it.
I love your little code: "NO BS" - I'll have to remember that one. :o)
It's good to HEAR that we are loved, not just to know it. God loves to hear US tell Him that we love Him too. Yes, He "knows all" but He still wants to hear it.
God IS Love - to experience HIM is to experience His Love and His love for us individually.
We are Blessed!!!

Hello Beautiful Reformer in the processing of reforming! I have not been able to check in for a while (guess I need some reforming myself!)so I have just been reading up on the past few days. thank you for your encouragement Cheryl!
I live a truly blessed lifeand I know it! I am surrounded by love from so many sources - my husband, my family, my extended family, my cats and how could we forget the devotion a dog (Amelia) supplies. But mostof all the God of Love, who very kindly blessed me with all of this shows his deep devotion to me daily!
by the way Cheryl - Luv Ya!
