When the Spirit of the Lord is present, the air itself becomes freedom inside your whole being. Your every inhale and exhale sings Freedom’s song. The atmosphere from the inside out shifts. Your heart’s thermostat regulates with Love’s perfect internal Love Temperature. The walls of your heart soften and the soil of your heart tenderizes. The chains that once felt chained to your soul simply break and fall off once you realize Love Himself’s Presence is in the very room with you. His Reality becomes your reality ~ the only one that was ever true. Christ in you, the Hope of all Glory, is not a distant promise but He, Love Himself, is your right now reality. Love’s Presence is your right~now reality. Love’s Freedom is your right~now reality. Love’s Truth is your right now reality. Love is your right now Near‑to‑You Reality~ your forever‑with‑you Promise.

So catch this breath of fresh air in your heart, soul, mind (imagination) and spirit. The Spirit of the Lord is here ~ right here ~ wrapping you in the warmth of His Love, freeing you to breathe again, freeing you to see yourself through His eyes of Love and freeing you to let go of every mind trap and negative, unloving or jealous voice that ever tried to shrink you, shame you or misname you. Nothing ever separates you from Love ~ not your thoughts, not your imagination, not your mind traps, not your past, not anyone’s opinion and not even your own thoughts you’ve negatively dreamed up and believed were your truth or reality but never were.

As DaddyGod’s Child of Love, you have been brought into His Kingdom of Love and His House of Love ~ not as a visitor, not as a guest, but as His Family of Love. You belong here in the House of Love, the Home of His heart. You are always accepted, wanted, chosen and delighted in. There is nothing you can do to earn His Love, nothing you can do to lose it and no one who can ever take it from you. You are His Child of Love ~ fully loved, deeply cherished and eternally held. His Love surrounds you with the warmest, most comforting Light ~ His Life, His Light and His Love. The expanse of His interactive Love is as wide as it is long and as high as it is deep ~ stretching farther than your imagination has ever dared to wander or journey.

So take Love out of the box! Take Him out of the box you’ve imagined Him to be in. Take the image you have burned of Him in your mind… and now watch what happens next.

The door of the House of Love opens slowly… and you step inside, carrying something you didn’t even realize you were holding ~ an image. Not carved in wood, not shaped in stone, but unknowingly burned into your mind and formed in the hidden places of your heart ~ the idea of who you have thought Love is. A picture… an image painted by pain, by people, by past experiences and maybe even by what someone once told you about the Father of Love that you assumed was truth but wasn’t. A version of God that felt familiar because it was all you had ever known, yet that version was never fully Him and in some ways not even close.

As you sit down at the Table of Love, your heart breathes a sigh of relief seeing that Love Himself is already sitting there with you ~ gentle, unrushed and completely unoffended. He looks at you with the kind of loving understanding that melts every defense inside your heart and mind. “This is one of your Know Nots,” He says with tenderness. He is not scolding you for the image you’ve carried for so long; He simply reaches toward that burned‑in image you had of Love with the kind of Love that frees you instead of shaming you. “My Child of Love… you don’t have to imagine Me into something you can understand, and you don’t have to believe all those voices who misrepresented Me to you through all those years.”

A holy hush fills the room as He whispers tenderly to your heart, “Let Me tell you Who I am, My Child.” And suddenly you realize Love’s invitation to you was never just about the burned images you had of Him. It was about surrendering your view and opinion, all of your imagined ideas and all of your judgments about who you believed God to be throughout your life. It was about letting His View and Opinion of Himself become the only one you trust, believe and accept. It was about surrendering every assumption, every quiet conclusion and every wounded interpretation you’ve held about our God of Love and laying it down in His Presence.

Because anything we create as humans, even in our minds, can never hold the Heavenly Fullness of Who He really is. So as you release all of those burned‑in, untrue images ~ the smaller versions and the safer versions ~ you begin to get free. As you release all the versions shaped by your fears or disappointments and every version that does not align or agree with Who He says He is, you get even more free. And in all of the sacred, now‑cleaned‑out spaces in your heart and mind, Love Himself personally reveals Himself to you. And now you see Him as He is. Not as the One you were taught to be afraid of, not as the One you assumed or imagined Him to be, but as He truly is ~ your Father of Love who has always been faithful, kind, holy and near to you since before you were even born.

The House of Love becomes still, because the greatest worship in the room is no longer directed toward the burned‑in image you once held in your heart and mind of who you imagined Him to be. The greatest worship becomes your surrendering and exchanging your view and opinion for His, and your willingness to replace every burned‑in image with His View and Opinion of Himself, letting Love Himself define exactly Who He says He is.

As you accept that His Reality ~ His View and Opinion ~ is your only true reality, you suddenly find yourself surrounded from the inside out by Love Himself. You find yourself held by the One who calls you valuable, precious, royal and fully His. You begin to think and talk like His Child of Love to whom the Kingdom of Love belongs ~ right now, not someday. And as you believe His Loving Truth, you begin to receive and experience His Love in ways that feel like breath returning to your lungs. Heaven on earth becomes your here and now reality. His Kingdom of Love becomes holy, sacred ground beneath your feet. His Love becomes the atmosphere you live and breathe in.

So let this be your Love~song declaration today ~ your Here as it is in Heaven anthem rising from the Home of His heart: I am fully loved right now, here as in Heaven. I am fully accepted right now, here as in Heaven. I fully belong to You right now, here as in Heaven. I am fully free right now, here as in Heaven. I am righteous through You, Jesus, here as in Heaven. I am pleasing to You, here as in Heaven. You are my reality, here as in Heaven. You are within me, here as in Heaven.

Right now, the truth is simple and beautiful: God is all you need, all you want and all you’ll ever long for, and His Kingdom of Love is your present~tense reality. Heaven’s Love here in the House of Love is your home address. You are lovingly defined by God and God alone. He proudly calls you His own. His identity is your identity. His Love is your truth. His view of you is the only one that is true and worth keeping. And right now, His Love is the best gift you can give yourself and the most healing gift you can offer the world.

So in the end, may the only burned‑in image that remains in your heart be the one Love Himself places there. May every false image fall away until the only flame burning within you is the flame of His Love ~ the same holy fire that burned in the hearts of those on the road to Emmaus. “Were not our hearts burning within us…” they said, and may that be your testimony too. May your heart burn not with fear, not with old stories and not with misrepresentations, but with the living, breathing flame of Love Himself. May His nearness be the warmth you feel, His truth be the fire that lights your way as His Presence is the Holy Burning within you that will never fade or burn out.

Heart2Heart in His Love,
