Love is All We Need


"Behold, O My people, I will open your graves . . ." ( Ezekiel 37:12 ). When God wants to show you what human nature is like separated from Himself, He shows it to you in yourself. If the Spirit of God has ever given you a vision of what you are apart from the grace of God (and He will only do this when His Spirit is at work in you), then you know that in reality there is no criminal half as bad as you yourself could be without His grace. My "grave" has been opened by God and "I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells" ( Romans 7:18 ). God’s Spirit continually reveals to His children what human nature is like apart from His grace.

Here’s the
rest.

It is truly amazing how the master of disguise, Satan, the father of lies goes so unnoticed in and through what we like to call ‘human nature’.
Learning, and that is only possible as the invasion of a Father’s love begins to address (undress) that which has become but a cheap substitute to define who I am, who we are.

All that is missing, all that is lacking, is found in only one thing, the love of God the Father, and that love as it is becoming fleshed out in and through us, is releasing into my world the truth that God is indeed LOVE!
