Part two

Open your heart wide at this moment to genuine love. Not fleshly love or even soulish - not polluted love the world calls "love", but the purest, most wonderful love you'll ever know, the Love of God. Love (God) suffers long on your behalf. Love is patiently waiting for you to accept Him, Love (God) thinks no evil towards you, about you "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord your God, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end". Love (God) does not brag or speak boastfully about Himself, Love (God) "does not keep a record of wrongs".
I hope you had a childhood filled with love, the love of a mother and a father. Many of us these days (too many) grew up with only a mother's love, but still, think about the incredible love she gave to you, day in and day out - think of the fact that, no matter what you did, or said, she kept loving you. Unceasing, unfailing, never ending love. She sacrificed every day of her life for you, cleaned you, no matter how filthy you got. She fed you, clothed you, taught you everything you needed to know, then brought you to others to teach you what she could not. No matter what you drew on those first childish attempts to please her, to give something back to her, because your heart knew - deep inside, you were the center of her life, the focus of her existence, you knew she would be delighted with you, just being you, so you drew her a picture and no matter how sloppy it was, no matter if she could tell what it was or not, her eyes would light up, a big smile would spread across her face and she'd say "How wonderful! It's perfect!" And in your heart you knew you were perfect too because mommy's love said you were. And you were in perfect peace and content in your mother's love.
Now, let your heart receive this truth - This is exactly how your God loves you, right now, no matter how old you are. "AS ONE WHOM HIS MOTHER COMFORTS, SO WILL I COMFORT YOU". Rejoice! You get to be young again! You get to climb on your daddy's lap and have Him tell you a story! You get to be perfectly content and at peace in the knowledge your daddy loves you! You get to be perfect because His love says you are! It's not dependent on what you do or say, your perfection is dependent on Him alone. He will provide all you'll ever need, if you'll but turn to Him now and trust Him for it. "Therefore take no thought, saying, what will I eat, or what will I drink, or how will I be clothed?" Do little children think on these things? "For your loving heavenly Father knows you have need of all these things and will provide them for you. Our God really delights in little children. Love Him the way a little child loves their daddy, trust Him that way too. They're not ashamed of their love for their dad, why they'll jump into His arms and shout out loud with delight and they don't care who sees it! They're not embarrassed at all (that comes later, when they become teen-agers, lol). No, love God just this way, run to Him as He ran to the prodigal son, don't grow up, grow down! Don't reach a place where you're "on your own" and you don't need Him anymore. Get humble or as Steve Martin used to say "Get small".
