Today we are talking about God’s love with Pastor Jennifer Miller (@dodomiller) who is the co-pastor of Hope City Dallas (@iamhopecity) and co-host of The Awake Podcast (@the_awake_podcast). She is an incredible wife, mom, and friend and we are so thankful to have her on this episode!
John 3:16 doesn’t say that God was so disappointed in the world that He sent His only Son, it says that God so LOVED the world that He sent Jesus. Jesus died for you because He loves you, not out of condemnation, disappointment, or shame.
Hebrews 4:11 — run to rest as fast as you can!
Ephesians 3:17-19 TPT — “By constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of his love will become the very source and root of your life. Then you will be empowered to discover what every holy one experiences—the great magnitude of the astonishing love of Christ in all its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is his love! How enduring and inclusive it is! Endless love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding—this extravagant love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God!”
1 Corinthians 13
You are a human being, not a human doing.
You can “do” all day long, but if you are not living and BEING in God’s love, none of it matters.
Love gives the benefit of the doubt — even in knowing our heart and our motives, God chooses to give us the benefit of the doubt. that’s agape love!
Soundtracks by Jon Acuff is a book we mention and we highly recommend!
Having a revelation of God’s love can pull up the roots of shame in your life.
Jude 2 MSG — Love is on the way!
