When Love Calls: Hearing God’s Voice of Acceptance and Divine Delight

 

Dove descending from heaven representing God’s affirmation and love.


When Love Calls… (Matthew 3:17)

"And a voice from heaven said, 'This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.’" – Matthew 3:17

   When love calls, it is not a whisper from the world but a declaration from heaven. In Matthew 3:17, the voice of God affirms Jesus as the beloved Son, fully accepted, fully known, and fully loved. This same divine affirmation extends to each of us as children of the Divine. Through Jesus’ words, “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Continue in my love,” we glimpse the unbreakable flow of divine affection that reaches every heart willing to receive it.

   Firstly, every individual is a child of the Divine. God claims each one as His own, never rejecting or abandoning anyone. This eternal bond reflects an everlasting connection between Creator and creation, a reminder that we are never alone or forgotten.

   Secondly, the Divine not only acknowledges us as children but calls us beloved children. This love is not conditional; it is deep, unwavering, and transformative. To be beloved is to be seen through the eyes of perfect love to recognize our inherent worth and divine essence.

   Thirdly, the Divine is well pleased with each of us, just as with Jesus. This divine pleasure is not based on performance but on presence simply being who we are in God’s sight. When we live from this truth, we walk in confidence, compassion, and peace.

   Conclusion: Begin each day with the affirmation, “I am the Divine’s beloved offspring, and the Divine is well pleased with me.” By embracing this truth, we open our hearts to live courageously, knowing we are eternally loved and valued by the One who calls us Beloved.

📖 Reflection: How would your life change if you truly believed you are the beloved of the Divine?

💡 Action Step: Each morning, speak this affirmation aloud: “I am loved. I am seen. I am the Divine’s delight.” Let this truth guide your thoughts and actions today.

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
