Me:\u00a0 Prodigal, what are you eating?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 Some cookies that were made out of love for me.\u00a0 They are even shaped like hearts!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Love that is a topic that is very popular.\u00a0 Debra Evans talks about God’s love versus human love in her book But For God.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sometimes the people who are supposed to guard our well-being don’t just disappoint us, they outright devastate us with their unthinking choices.\u00a0 When they do, we are jolted by the reality that not only is love often conditional, but that their particular love for us has very real limits.\u00a0 The enemy, seeing a prime moment to attack, then steps forward and says, “See? What you’ve always feared is true: you aren’t worthy of love.\u00a0 And this proves it.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

But God reminds each of us that when anyone’s love proves conditional, even “When your father and mother forsake you, then I will take you up” Palm 27:10.\u00a0 Those are healing words, no matter your age, and no matter the source of your devastation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some of you are overwhelmed with the\u00a0loss of your loved one who was suppose to do the right thing.\u00a0 That love one who was suppose to\u00a0love instead of turning the other direction.\u00a0 The pain is so real.\u00a0 You try to stuff down the pain, move forward and it is still ever presently there.\u00a0 It has over taken you with grief\u00a0and you are loss with thoughts of\u00a0what this means about the person you are.\u00a0 God sees you and feels the pain of the loss of your loved one.\u00a0 God is the only one who really understands you right now.\u00a0 God has been rejected by this person too.\u00a0 Turn to God and let God share your grief.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Psalm 22:24<\/p>\n

For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help.<\/p>\n
