THE MEASURING WEIGHTS OF LOVE
There are seasons when I have raised you with tough love as well as raised you with comforting love. At this point, there is a balancing scale in My hands, and I AM weighing issues I have spoken about to you for years. Precious, I love you. I want you to walk in freedom. I want you to walk in power and grace. I know how deeply your soul hurts when you don’t measure up because of making deliberate choices that take you into captivity. I love you and it hurts Me when you are hurting.
I don’t want you wallowing in self pity. I don’t want you burning with shame. I don’t want you wincing in condemnation. I want you to grow up and mature the child inside of you that runs from obedience and turns to the world for escape. This balance scale is weighing heavily on My heart. The hand that holds these scales of tough love and comforting love is called Grace. I offer you My abiding grace, but I AM asking you only one question. I need you to be WILLING. That is all. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and be willing to listen to Me and obey. I will help you face these things, but you must be willing to do your part. We will partner together and face this mountain. How can two walk together unless they agree?
1 Cor 4:21 AMP
Now which do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod of correction, or with love and in a spirit of gentleness?
Ps 119:73-77 NLT
You made me; you created me. Now give me the sense to follow your commands. May all who fear you find in me a cause for joy, for I have put my hope in your word. I know, O LORD, that your decisions are fair; you disciplined me because I needed it . Now let your unfailing love comfort me, just as you promised me, your servant. Surround me with your tender mercies so I may live,
for your law is my delight.
Amos 3:3 NKJV
Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?
