Have you taken your love break today?

Have you taken your love break today?

John 15:9
As the father loved me, I Also have loved you; abide my love.

In the work place, people often take lunch breaks, tea breaks, and especially toile breaks. Why not do the same thing in your spiritual life – take time for love breaks?

What is a love breaks? It is the time you take to enjoy and feed on the love of Jesus for you. At any time during the day, wherever you are, find a quite spot and feed on Jesus love for you. Just sit down and talk to Him. Say to Him, "Thank you, Jesus, for loving me. Nothing is going to happen to me that you don't already know. Jesus, when I could not save myself, You died for me. You gave up your life for me. What else will you not do for me!"

Such love breaks are typified in the Old Testament when Aaron the High Priest and His Sons fed on the breast of the animal offering. (Leviticus 7:31) The breast of the animal speaks of the love of Jesus. Today, you are a priest to God. (Revelation 1:6) So spend time feeding on Jesus love for you, and see yourself nourished, Strengthened, and sustained by His Love. Jesus is our High Priest today. This means that His "food" is in loving us. He enjoys loving us and is also "nourished" when we allow Him to love us.

But don't forget that the breast was roasted by fire (Leviticus 7:35), which speaks God's Judgment on Jesus as He hung on the cross because He was carrying our sins. So as you feed on Jesus love for you, see Him loving you at the cross. When things are happening to you? "My friend, interpret Gods love for you based on the cross and not your current circumstances.

During the day, when you are hard at work, when busyness set in, when problems pile up or when discouragement comes, just stop everything and being loved by Him. Lean on His bosom, abide in His love and be nourished by his love for you!.

GBU,
