The first time I heard God speak to me was in the spring of 1970. God said, "John, I love you." That moment set off a revolution inside me, that has never left me. I carry them in my heart every day. God's love, for me, is my secure foundation. His love protects me from my fears, anxieties, and uncertainties.
Henri Nouwen writes:
"When we start losing our money, our friends, or our popularity, our anxiety often reveals how deeply our sense of security is rooted in these things.
A spiritual life is a life in which our security is based not in any created things, good as they may be, but in God, who is everlasting love."
God loves you. Post this truth on the temple wall of your heart.
