Dear Roses, God wants us to be like His most precious Son and so He…
Believe in His Exceeding Love for You
Dear Roses,
“Believe that He loves you. He wants to help you Himself in the struggles which you must undergo. Believe in His Love, His exceeding Love.”
Stumbling upon this quote from St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, (one of our patron saints), led to my pondering the power of simply believing, the power of child-like faith, in the Bridegroom’s deeply intimate love for me… for each and everyone of us. I began recalling the many stories in Scripture when Jesus tells someone who has come seeking healing that it is their faith that has saved them. He doesn’t require knowledge or understanding, nor that we deserve or earn His love… nothing but that we believe and have faith. And we know it is safe to believe in His Love that is beyond our comprehension because He is Truth and so He cannot speak falsehoods; because He is Love and so He cannot act contrary to His very Nature.If your heart is afraid, if your experiences of trusting and of loving, leave you doubting and anxious, be kind and patient with yourself for surely the Bridegroom is Kindness and Patience and will not rush or pressure you.But what if each day, maybe many times a day, you proclaimed the truth you desire to believe aloud and asked Jesus for the gift of more faith and the grace to overcome all fears and believe in His perfect love? “My Jesus, I believe in Your exceeding Love for me. Help my unbelief, Lord, and drive out all my fears with the power of Your perfect Love.”
Together in His Heart,
Laura 🌹
