                     You Are Forgiven And Loved

Child of Mine, I have loved you with an everlasting love, and nothing
can separate you from My great love for you. I have told you this
over and over again in My written Word, the bible. I want you to
believe what I have told you and to live accordingly. Your sin cannot
separate you from My great love for you, because the blood of My own
dear Son has covered every single iniquity that you will ever commit.
I want you to remember that the next time that the enemy whispers 
his lies of accusation and condemnation into your ear.

Have I not said in My word that "There is therefore now no condemnation
to those who are in Christ Jesus?"* If you are called by the name of
My Son, then this applies to you. I will not listen to the accuser of
the brethren when he comes before My throne in an attempt to condemn 
you; for I have already heard the voice of atonement that cries out 
to Me from the shed blood of My own Son.

Dear child, since I will not listen to the voice of the accuser 
against you, then why should you listen to Him? Why should you care
what He says against you? Do not believe His words of shame and
condemnation, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Believe Me instead, for I am Truth and I cannot lie. I would not tell
you that your sins are forgiven if I did not mean it. Yes, it is true
that you are still weak from the carnal nature of your sinful flesh,
and you will fall from time to time. But I am strong enough to love
you when you make a mistake and fall into sin. I am able to wash and
cleanse you when you run back to Me and repent. When that happens, I
do not hold your sin against you any longer--I separate it from you
as far as the east is from the west.

So why do you continue to live in shame and condemnation after I have
set you free from it? Why do you believe the lies that I will reject
you or push you away because of past mistakes that you have already
repented of? Allow Me to open your eyes to see in the spirit so you
will know the truth. Then you will see that I am standing before you
with My arms open wide to receive you. When you run to Me, I do not
receive you grudgingly; I receive you with great joy and with complete
acceptance.

Dear one, it is time for you to start believing in My great love for 
you, and it is time to start living in the reality of My acceptance.
Do not allow the voice of the accuser to trick you into keeping 
yourself at a distance from Me. Believe My word and believe in the 
atonement power of the blood of the Lamb, that was shed for you. Stop 
living in the lie of condemnation and start living in the reality of 
My love and forgiveness.
