Bombarded by God's Love

I read this at a recovery meeting last night:

 "The most common symptoms of emotional insecurity are worry, anger, self-pity, and depression...If  I am unable to change the present state of affairs, am I willing to take the measures necessary to shape my life to conditions as they are?"

Yep, I have a new normal.

 I am a widow. 

I am willing to shape my life to conditions as they are as I follow God's lead. 

I feel as if I've been spiritually bombarded with God's love for the last 24 hours.

 I've heard and read so many pertinent words that apply to where I am today.

• I am a child of God.

• I am a jewel that God treasures. 

• I can't run out in front of God like a dog on a leash. I need to follow Him in obedience.

Malachi 3:17

“They shall be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts, “On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them As a man spares his own son who serves him.”
