This morning, as I was praying in silence the following prayer came to mind. I believe that it was a gift from the Spirit, and I wanted to share it with you all.
"Abba, you love to love me."
It's a very simple 7 syllable prayer... but it speaks to the truth of God's love for me.
He loves loving me. He is delighted to love me. It's not out of obligation, but out of desire.
I prayed this prayer in the following way.
As I took a deep breath in I would whisper "Abba" and hold that for a second. Then as I exhaled I would let the words "you love to love me" come out.
It was a beautiful time of realizing the joy of Abba for me. How he truly is delighted to love me, to draw me near, to forgive me, to hold me, and to be my daddy.
So, if you find time today, find a quiet place, sit comfortably for a few moments and breathe in deeply whispering the word "Abba", and as you exhale speak the true, intimate words "you love to love me."
This truth is so simple, but I don't think I'm alone in not really seeing that God is completely smitten with his love for me, happy in love with me... not dutifully in love with me... That God, the creator of the universe, loves loving me, loves loving you.
Peace.
