FREELY LOVING BUT GUARDING YOUR HEART
Pebbles and stones are the stumbling blocks that arise in the communications of all people. It is how you respond to these, that brings you into the maturity of walking in My love. When it comes to learning how to freely give and receive My love, there is a fine line in learning how to walk between tenderness and hardness of heart. If one is too tender, he will feel every pebble under foot. To walk in such a place will eventually leave the stoning of a bruised heart. If one does not freely forgive with understanding, that bruised heart will become stone. A stony heart must be broken and the bitterness removed. It is a painful process in the unveiling of one’s soul to be so broken. It is a hard place to guard one’s heart and yet to love enough that you let yourself out and someone else in. Love is sometimes very painful and trust is not easily given once broken.
Dear hearts, give your bruised and battered places to Me. Hold your heart in the palm of your hand and lift it up to My loving embrace. I have shed tears over your broken places. I know what you went through to come to such a state, and I so deeply long to heal you. I want you to walk in freedom in your communications and do so without wincing. I will bring you to a new place, where you will learn how to freely love and receive My love.
Your trust has been broken and no human can repair such a state, for all have fallen short of My glory. Your ability to love and ability to give love ONLY comes through Me. I AM love. Look to Me as your Source of love. In so doing, when you express and receive My love, your heart will stay stable and not become ensnared by mankind’s wavering disloyal remarks that come and go. Thus Your trust will arise in Me, and your relationships will become a 3-fold communion where I dwell in your midst. How do you remain freely open and yet guarded? You turn your focus to Me as your Source in all relationships.
Heb 2:11-13 NKJV
For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying”I will declare Your name to My brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.”
And again”I will put My trust in Him.” And again”Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.”
1 John 4:16-21 NLT
God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we are like Christ here in this world. Such love has no fear because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of judgment, and this shows that his love has not been perfected in us. We love each other as a result of his loving us first. If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we have not seen? And God himself has commanded that we must love not only him but our Christian brothers and sisters, too.
