Can't Make God Love You

No spiritual discipline can make God love you.

It’s too late for that. God already loves you.

But spiritual disciplines helps us to live in God’s love, and offer it to others.

I am so encouraged by this thought. It’s true to what I’ve taught but expressed so beautifully.

And sometimes, we need someone else to tell us what we already know. Their encouragement helps our hearts gain the courage to believe it and live it out.

I’m thankful for how he put it, and I keep meditating on it.

I hope you enjoy it too!

You need to accept God’s love before you can experience it.
If I gave you a cupcake, until you accepted it and ate it, you could not enjoy it and know what it tasted like. The same happens with God’s love.
