2 Samuel Thirteen

If this isn't a Jerry Springer / Law & Order (Criminal Intent) episode waiting to happen then I don't know what is. Amnon thought that his lust for Tamar was love. After he got what he wanted apparently his eyes were opened to see what was truly there.

The Enemy works this way. He will distort the truth just enough to give us a false reality. He will make the end result seem to be all that our hearts are looking for. Ultimate and instant gratification. As we see here, this is only a mirage.

Our ultimate fulfillment is found only in God. He does not distort reality. He does not use deception as His tool to influence us. He loves us like a father loves His children. He is committed to seeing us through the victories and defeats of life. He loves you. Here that again, HE LOVES YOU.

Now stop everything, take a deep breath and know:

HE LOVES YOU.

"Father, thank You for loving me."

Heart and Soul,
BAG
