If Jesus shared His heart with you today, it might sound something like this divine invitation:
“My flawless bride, I long for you to spend the time you have left on this earth fully believing that you are altogether beautiful, perfectly loved, highly valued, and completely accepted in Me.”
“My heart’s desire is that you live from your eternal spiritual union with Me in the same way that I lived while on this earth: entrusting Myself to and wholly dependent upon My Father.”
“Every day, I want you to fix your eyes on Me and your one and only flawless identity in Me.”
“There’s not a bad you and a good you.”
“Believing this slanderous lie will undermine your experience of your righteousness, peace, and joy in Me.”
“As you focus on eternal spiritual truth, My 24/7/365 life within you will inspire and empower you from the inside out.”
“I long for you to continually experience for yourself My cherishing love and exuberant life.”
“When you let Me love you unconditionally and depend on My limitless power within you, you will automatically express Me in this world.”
“I died for you, so that I could live in you, so that I could live through you in this world.”
“My greatest desire is for you to experience wondrous delight in intimacy with Me.”
“Just as a husband and wife in the natural realm share a physical union and bear the fruit of children, you and I share a spiritual union where I have implanted you with My life and—with your cooperation—cause you to manifest the sweet, refreshing fruit of My Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.”
“You are the love of My life, the object of My extravagant affection!”
“When you begin to understand and habitually see yourself as My deeply cherished bride, you will begin to live like who you already are.”
“Pure and simple, you will live loved and happy in Me, your Spiritual Bridegroom.”
