The Father Says Today: March 15th, 2018

The Father says today, heaven and earth will be dissolved, but My love for you will never be diminished or taken away from you. I have fixed My love upon you this day, says God. Though others despise you and at times you even hold yourself in contempt, that is not My heart toward you at any time. I love you because I love you. When you hate yourself or when you are influenced by the disdain of others that is just a case of mistaken identity. What you do or do not do does not define who you are in My eyes. Your entitlement before My throne is not affected by your actions or by your inaction. I am in your life because of who Jesus is and what was accomplished in Christ on the cross. This is what righteousness is. It is not means based, it is by grace through faith that you stand upright before Me without shame or guilt.
Raise your head, says the Father. Be the everlasting gate that lifts its head in praise and worship in My presence. You are accepted in the beloved. You are safe. You are sound and secure in My pavilion, in My embrace. The Christian life is not intended to be that of going through life with the Damocles sword of religious condemnation looming over you, threatening immanent destruction. I love you, says the Father. From the posture of eternity, I am bringing My love to bear in your life within the finite parameters of time and space. What of sin? It is forgiven. What of shortcoming? It is quenched in My empowering grace that changes you and causes you to be raised up to walk in newness of life. Striving is at an end. Earning of spiritual favor becomes unnecessary, for you are the recipient of all of heaven’s bounty through the impartation of My boundless love and favor.
