Encouragement from David Wilkerson today

This is the new email from David Wilkerson this morning, I pray it blesses and gives you all comfort:

YOU ARE SECURE IN YOUR FATHER’S LOVE!

Jesus said that when the prodigal son came home, he was welcomed back into his

father’s house. He received a new robe, ate at his father’s table and had

full forgiveness. But that didn’t make him an angel.

On the contrary, I believe his father experienced a lot of problems with him

before it was all over. But the one thing this son had to know was that he was

secure in his father’s love! He had to know his father would bear with him,

work with him, love him. That’s how our heavenly father is with us. And yet

we keep saying, “One of these days, I’m going to be so perfect and right

before God that it will be easy for him to love me.”

No! He loved you when you were a sinner, a reprobate, an enemy to him. How much

more does he love you now that you’re reconciled to him! God has already said

to you, “I loved you when you were an alien to me, when you were in rebellion

and sin. Will I not love you even more now since you have committed to

sonship?”

We don’t rest confidently in his love as we should. And yet the Lord says of

himself that he IS love. John wrote, “And we have known and believed that

love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth (rests) in love

dwelleth in God and God in him” (1 John 4:16).
