The Footladder:  God's Love For Us

Our human minds are grounded in fear, first of our selves which are guilt ridden, and then of others whom we believe feel about us the same way as we feel about ourselves.  Our downing of ourselves needs to be abandoned, but it can only occur in the light of how God reveals to us His undying love of us.  In Scripture this is addressed by Jesus – “Do not be afraid little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom”, Luke 12:23. 

Are we worried about harsh judgment?  Jesus states, “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through Him”, John 3:17.  Or God’s character makeup?  Jesus states, “Your Father knows what you need before you ask Him”, Matt 6:8.  “Be merciful just as your Father is merciful”, Luke 6:36.  But you might ask is He unconditionally merciful?  Jesus answers even that with, “He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked”, Luke 6:35.  Need more than that?

The Footladder of Notes Divine passionately confirms and expands on God’s love for us in verse after verse.

Wouldst not thee know

of thee I sing

to have and hold

on angel's wing

23

Wouldst forsake thee

I would not

whenever would you think

this what I allow

Wouldst you know Me better

what belies

wouldst you have

the truth of Me

Then wouldst you know

that what I am

bestows blessings

that I allow

   Midst gladness reign amidst of Me

   Made joyful in moments of glee

  Made Mine in everheart One

  Made mine for joyful dance

  Made Mine to swirl and swing

  Made Mine for gilded wing

  midst beating hearts made One

  made One
