Accepting God's Love

And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Romans 5:5

I have been struggling with everything in this verse in my real life. But somehow, this morning as I read this verse, I feel encouraged, I feel a peace. I try to keep from being disappointed by filling my life with other things and interest. I have not been accepting God's Love which he has been pouring out.

I think I am realizing this morning that I need to accept God's Love into my heart. I try to keep the holy spirit out of my life mostly, due to a lack of a prayerful heart. But if I can ask for forgiveness, and keep my heart in tune with the holy spirit, then I will be more willing to accept God's Love, Christ's Love.

I have been struggling to pour out love on my wife Beth, so selfishly I have come to realize my need for God's Love in my everyday life.

My prayer is that I will be accepting of God's Love today. That I will be in Prayer, seeking the Holy Spirit. That with me accepting God's Love, I will be able to pour it out on my wife, and others.
