Dear God, good morning. Today's reading is "Jesus is your love." I have grown to love you, Jesus. When I write to you, I feel love in my heart and joy in my soul. The Bible says, "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love to us: He sent his one and only Son into the world so that we can have life through him. This is real love:" "It is not our love for God; it is God's love for us in sending his Son to be the way to take away our sins." 1 John 4:712
What a beautiful topic, God's love for us is too powerful for me to understand. I know very little about the gospel and Bible. I remember our babysitter bringing the four of us kids to Catechism at the church on Broadway in Everett Massachuttes.
We sang songs about you, Jesus. The song said, "Jesus loves me. This I know cause the Bible tells me so." That song has remained in my heart for forty years. I loved that song. There was a picture of you all the wall in the classroom. You looked like a loving man, and the picture showed your hands reaching out to us lovingly.
When my parent found out that we were going to Catechism, we were forbidden to go back to church. We could not go to that church because both parents would be charged with child abuse and neglect if the church found out about the abuse. Both biological parents were fearful of people, and nobody was ever allowed in my house. Even our friends from the playground could not come over to our house.
The first love I received was through my siblings. Denise, W***y, and Sunflower. We comforted each another, nurtured each other, and we loved each other very much. God, you created that love for my siblings and me. Thank you.
The love we had for each other was powerful. If one of us children got into trouble and was physically hurt, we tended to that child with empathy and love. My sibling and I were the "four amigo's" running around the streets of Everett, Chelsea, and even Malden.
God, you showered your love on the four of us, and you protected us while running in the surrounding towns. And you, sweet Jesus, taught us about unconditional love for me and my siblings.
Jesus, you said these words, "I love you as the Father loved me. Now remain in my love. I have obeyed my Father's commands, and I remain in his love. In the same way, if you obey my commands, you will remain in my love."
John 15:9-13,7
I don't know all of your commands yet. Yes, we love our sisters and brothers because you loved us first, Jesus. And to turn the cheek when someone hurts us. Thou shall not kill or commit adultery. That's all I really know. I need a Bible study so that I can understand your will for me, sweet Jesus.
Thank you for my sisters and brother and for their unconditional love. Their love for me kept me alive. We actually kept each other alive. According to psychiatrists, Social Workers, and Doctors, children who do not receive physical or emotional touch and or lack of love for that child. That child will tend to withdraw from reality and shut down from the world. Some children die from a lack of physical affection and emotional love.
That's what happened to me. I did shut down from my reality because I was ten years old when the Department of Social Services (DSS) crushed my world by separating me from my siblings. I became a quiet little girl who was in emotional pain because I was in a stranger's house, far away from my loving siblings. It was the straw that broke the camel's back.
I withdrew from adults. They could be abusive, like my biological parents. I was a scared little girl for good reasons. I was alone without Denise, W***y, and Sunflower, and I used to cry myself to sleep in silence.
Jesus, Thank you for taking us four children out of my biological parent's house. I know that was your love for us, Jesus. Throughout the years, I learned about you through movies, I know you are a loving God, and the bible writes, "I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. Proverbs 8:17
I did cry out to you, Jesus, and you came to me, and in my heart, I loved you.
It's getting late this morning, and I have things to do today. I need to get an easement on my car and maybe trade it for a newer Toyota RAV 4. And get a warranty from them too. God, if it's your will. I love you, Jesus, so much!
