Hi everyone, I'm back. My name is Tonya Lee Carey and I want to share with you today about loved you are. Many of us, if not most of us, don't feel love. And I know years ago, beautiful grandmother, my mom, they all did the best and I received the kind of love that they knew how to give to me. But I kept searching for it in the wrong places until I met up with Jesus. That's another reason why I met and married. My husband was 20 years. He's gone on to be with the Lord now in three weeks. I desire the love of God and to know that I was loved and I do. But I sought the love. I have three principles for you today to catch on to. And one is receive the love that only can come from God. Receivers are ones in football. I use that analogy. They catch the ball but they don't hold on to it for themselves. They are going for a touchdown. They want the ball. They hold in tight and they're not gonna drop it so that they can send it on to the touchdown end. And so when we receive the love of God that never fails, that is kind and patient, that is limitless and is unconditional, because he's already paid the price for us through Jesus, then we have to give it. And that's number two. We can't give what we don't have. So you first receive it and then you give it. Here's a good lesson. When you give it, it has to be unconditional. I've been tested with it. I've given so much love that I thought was love but it was conditional. I couldn't even get a thank you and it challenged me. And it's like what is wrong with these people? I can't even receive a thank you but it wasn't unconditional. So when you give it, give it unconditional. And most times what the Lord is gonna come in another way. Many times, most times, it's not the way, direction that we give. Number three, the manifestation of that love. God is a jealous God and when he gives, he likes to out give. There is no competition when you receive, when you see the manifestation of God's love in your life, your cup will run over. I'm in that situation right now. I've been in other times but I really see, I recognize it's like crazy. I had surgery on my foot about five weeks ago and I've had a lacrosse team of people, women, women who love Jesus, that has assisted me, taken me to the doctor, the grocery store, very humbly. And it's really more than a lacrosse team. Well how many people did you need? I didn't know I needed this many people but God did. And I believe it's from the seeds I sowed years ago. God gives the increase. So three, remember it's the three. Receive it from him. Number two, give what he receives. When you, when he, when you receive it from him, you gotta give it when it's from God. And remember, it's got to be unconditional. And watch and see the salvation of the Lord give back to you in a big, great, big way. That's it for today. I love you but Jesus love you more and there's nothing we can do about it. Peace.
