I think if I really believed and knew… knew how much God loves me. I would not be able to function. I think I would be a basket case all curled up in His loving arms warm and alive but not concerned about anything else but Him.

This would not be good. I have to work! I have things to get done. Does He really want me as I am right now? It is utterly undoing to glimpse even a small tiny fragment of a wee bit of His love for me.

I was wondering if the prodigal son had said to his dad, ‘sorry but I am not worthy to be a son. Please just let me work as your servant.’ What the Father would have done. Would the Father let him keep thinking he was a slave or would He slowly love him back into the understanding that he is His son?

Thank you for the warm reminder and challenge to accept more of God’s love.

There was this story that Brennan Manning spoke about where this Irish guy was so happy and kept saying ‘Me Father is very fond of me.” I thought it matched this page.

I know the story you are talking about. He does an Irish accent pretty well. I’m going to look that up.
