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.

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

The Sacred Sunday Posture:  Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

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...
