GOD LOVES YOU
The Lord appeared in the past to me saying, "Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love therefore with loving kindness have I drawn you. For I know the thoughts and pland that I have toward you, says the Lord, "thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you hope in your future. I have loved you, says the Lord. My intense bitterness obstructed my peace but You have loved my life back from the pit of corruption and nothingness; for you have cast all my sins behind your back. We know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God and God abides in him.
GOD IS MERCIFUL AND GRACIOUS
In His steadfast love, the Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in loving kindness. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so is God's steadfast love toward those who with godly fear, reverence Him. Ps. 103:8-11
But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting for those who, with godly fear reverence Him...to those who remember to obey His commandments. The steadast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end. For though He allows grief, He will have compassion according to the abundance of His steadfast love. With the merciful, You will show yourself merciful. With those completed in You, You will show Yourself complete. O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His loving mercy endures forever. You are gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and of great kindness. When sinners turn to You, You revoke the sentence of death.

OBEY AND RECEIVE GOD'S LOVE AND BE FILLED WITH HIS HOLY SPIRIT
God gives the Holy Spirit to those who obey Him. That He would grant, according to the riches of His glory, that you may be strengthen with power through His Spirit in the inward man. You will know the love of Christ which goes far beyond knowledge, and you will be filled with all the fullness of God. If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him. We must ask and receive. If you remain in Me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done to you. The fullness of the Holy Spirit should be the desire of every Christian and we must pray for that fullness on a continuing basis. You have received the spirit of adoption by whom we cry, "Abba Father, oh, my Father." The Holy Spirit speaks to us deep in our hearts assuring us that we are children of God.
LET US OBEY AND RECEIVE GOD'S LOVE AND BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY

ONE STEP AT A TIME
Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise. Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails. Prov. 19:20
We may be called to do what nobody understands except those to whom the word of guidance is given-and with it, His promise to. The word must come first, and also His promise. You and I must be sure of what we are called to do, with an inward conviction that absolutely nothing can shake. Only God and those who have to walk in that path know how hard this kind of faith-life can be. But He does know. And when the people around us don't hear the words and the voice we have heard, and only say, "It thunders..."then He comes near and we know Him as we never knew Him before...If only the next step is clear, then the one thing to do is take it! Don't pledge your Lord or yourself to any steps beyond what you know. You don't see them yet.
