Today’s Scripture: “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. Psalm 91:14 NIV
When was the last time you told the LORD you loved Him? Before you answer that, think about it. I know I have but unbelievably as I read this scripture my search for affirmations of God took me from “because he loves me” to saying I love You LORD. For over five years I have captured almost fifteen thousand affirmations of God and written over 600 blogs and yet this is the first time I have written the most basic of words: I LOVE YOU LORD.
LORD I want to live in Your shelter and rest in the shadow of Your wings. LORD I take refuge in You. You are my protection. LORD I want to know Your love and I pray You know my love for you.
Will you join me now in assuring that we say this often: I love You LORD!
Today’s Prayer: LORD, I love You. LORD, You are my God and the source of all love. Please forgive me for not telling You I love You enough. LORD, I have experienced Your peace and Your joy. I have seen Your salvation and felt Your refuge. LORD, please keep me in Your love so I know Your name and Your love. I love You. Amen

I always find the timing of others posts so interesting, always “from God”. Last night I did tell the Lord I love Him–surely it was the Spirit speaking through me, as my flesh was more in the attitude of, “why is all this crap happening??” And then the enemy jumped in again, telling me what a rotten Christian I am because my faith is “always falling out of the boat”. Arrgghh and a half–I’m sure glad Jesus loves me no matter what! Thanks again for your prayers–you and your family are always in mine, as well. God bless you BIG–love, sis Caddo
thanks sis, I too am glad and thankful that Jesus loves us no matter what. I am also glad and thankful that the Holy Spirit speaks to God on my behalf when I just can not do it!! He doesn’t need our words he just needs our hearts. He has that the enemy doesn’t like it one bit. Get behind us satan, our God, the all powerful God loves us and is with us. No matter what. He continues to show us Himself and speak to us through His Word and through others….we are always amazed at His timing, His perfect timing…He shows His love for us. His love for you, sis:) BIG LOVE:)
I love you LORD! And please forgive ME for not showing you I love You more. Thanks Tom…great post. God bless you and yours, Cindy
Thanks Cindy and blessings to you and yours!
This was so good for us, Tom. I tell Him I love Him often, but really want my faith to follow through too .. and to trust Him like I love Him. Thanks so much and God bless you as you love Him more and more!
Thank you Deb and I too pray my actions, my faith and my trust reflect the love I have for Him! Blessings!!
