The love God has for you

God’s love may come as a gentle thought, but its effect is a tangible reality.

Michele Newport

Every day news reports tell of lives being shattered both figuratively and literally; fragmentation of families through divorce, cities by flooding, countries by war. But even in the middle of a catastrophe, God, Love, is there and will always be present at every moment.

My first insight into this truth came as a very quiet, gentle message one afternoon, an angel message that caught my full attention. It was simply, “The love God has for you.”

I didn’t really know what it meant, but I knew I shouldn’t just think of it as a “nice moment,” and then let it go. I was supposed to hold on to it.
