1 John 3:1 NIV "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him."

We all struggle at times to embrace the pure love of God. Here are some of the things the might prevent us from accepting this wonderful blessing.
1.) Our own relationships. Ironically, the way we love each other can distort how we perceive the heavenly Father’s love. As imperfect people, we exhibit imperfect love.
2.) Guilt. Our remorse over sinful behavior might convince us that we are unworthy of God’s love. However, we have the assurance of Scripture that our Father loves us completely.
3.) Legalism. Many people view the Bible as a rule book. However, God gave us His Word for instruction and inspiration, not as a measuring stick by which He distributes love or punishment.
4.) Misinterpretation of divine discipline. God is a trustworthy and caring Father; His discipline and love are intimately connected. He corrects our behaviors when necessary for our benefit, not as a form of punishment. Jesus already redeemed us from our sin; God doesn’t continue to hold anything over our head.
Perhaps there is something in our lives preventing us from fully experiencing the joy and exhilaration of God’s unconditional love. If so, lets lay it down before Him today and receive the amazing grace He so freely offers to us.

Romans 5:6-8 NIV "You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

We may at times find it difficult to accept that God loves us just as we are. After all, much of the world operates by conditional love, which offers approval and acceptance on the basis of performance. So when we first come to Christ, there is often a natural tendency to assume we must strive to “earn” blessings.
Divine love can never be gained by human effort. There’s nothing we can do to make our Father love us more. Nor can we do anything to make Him stop loving us. No matter what has occurred in our past or what we’re struggling with right now, God’s love is freely given to us. Our heavenly Father pours His love upon us without exception. It’s not as if He postponed loving us until the moment we invited Him into our lives. In truth, the Lord never "began" to love us at all; He "always" has. From the creation of the world, God knew us and loved us.
So lets rejoice in the Father’s love and experience His peace instead of focusing only on what-ifs, and embrace a life characterized by purpose rather than fear. It’s available as soon as we prayerfully open our arms to His unconditional love. God's love isn't something we can earn or lose. It flows from His nature, not our performance.

1 Samuel 15:22-23 NLT "But Samuel replied, 'What is more pleasing to the Lord: your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams. Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft, and stubbornness as bad as worshiping idols. So because you have rejected the command of the Lord, He has rejected you as king.'”

One of the most common ways we step out of God’s will is through partial obedience—doing most of what He asks but holding back in other areas.
King Saul fell into this trap. After God ordered the Israelites to completely destroy the Amalekites and their possessions, they spared the best livestock and the leader, Agag. When Samuel arrived, Saul announced he’d done as commanded. But on further questioning, he shifted blame to the people—though he was king, and no big decision was made without his approval. Then Saul offered what seemed like a reasonable explanation: The animals had been saved to be sacrificed to the Lord. It must have sounded righteous. But Samuel wasn’t fooled. He identified Saul’s action for what it was—rebellion.
We can do the same thing. Our reasons for partial obedience may sound perfectly logical to us. We might even convince ourselves we’re honoring God. But the Lord doesn’t evaluate our obedience by our intentions or justifications. It is wrong to rationalize a decision that doesn’t quite align with what God wants. Partial obedience may feel like a reasonable compromise, but it keeps us from experiencing the fullness of walking in His will.

This week's verse was chosen by staff member Meagan. This popular passage has been one of her favourite verses since she was a teenager. This verse brings Meagan comfort in two ways. First, it reminds her that her hope is in the Lord, even at her weakest. Second, it tells her that she doesn't have to 'be strong' for others, as God is their strength as well. This passage brings rest.

"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:29-31
