His Love and Your Anchor

By Chris Oyakhilome

He Loves You The Way You Are
Behold what manner of love the father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of god: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not {1 john 3:1}.

It‘s so wonderful to know that God loves you just the way you are. It’s great to know He didn’t create you to be a failure but to be head over all things. Now you can walk in the liberty of his love; you can walk in full assurance of His love, knowing that you’re beyond condemnation for He loves you unconditionally all the time. He loves you just the way you are. You didn’t have to work, struggle or do anything to earn His love, He chose to love you unconditionally, with an everlasting love {Jeremiah 31:3 }

God’s love for you is a function of His grace: ‘’not of works, lest any man should boast’’ {Ephesians 2:9}. All you have to do is accept His  love just as simply as it has come to you, and you’ll never remain the same again. Accept that He loves you just the way you are!
The knowledge of God’s magnificent love for you will change your life. It will add springs to your steps and put a smile on your face. It will give you the ability to live in the liberty of His word and enjoy his abundant life. God’s love will put you over in all circumstances of life. 
If today you’re going through a situation that’s contrary to the good life God has planned for you in Christ, begin to meditate on the love of God! Remember what He did for you on the cross of Calvary. Give him thanks for them and ask Him to help you in your present situation. Jesus said He doesn’t have to pray to the father on your behalf, because the father himself loves you . He loves you just the way you are {John 16:26_27}, enough to help you come out of any situation triumphantly. Thank God for his matchless, unfeigned and everlasting love for you; rejoice exceedingly, knowing that God loves you just the way you are! Worship him for his great and wondrous love, and for causing you to triumph today over every challenging situation.
His Word is Your Anchor
He loves you just the way you are, just make God’s word your anchor. Which hope we have as anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil {Hebrews 6:19}.

An anchor is an object, often made out of metal, which is used to attach a ship to the bottom of a body of water at a specific point. It holds that mighty ship in place, making sure it doesn’t go beyond the circumferences of the anchor - even when the storms rage. It’s the anchor for your soul! It’ll keep you standing strong and tall in the face of adversity and cause you to be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the lord {1 Corthians 15:58}.
When you make the word the anchor for your life, you’ll not be swayed by challenging situations and circumstances of life. You’ll be like the man the lord Jesus described in Luke 6:47_48 ‘’Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth  my sayings, and doeth them…is a like a man which built an house, and digged  deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and  when  the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it…’’
Make a quality decision today to anchor your life firmly on God’s word. The captain of a ship knows the fate of his ship that it won’t drift aimlessly away into the horizon because of the anchor he has cast overboard. In the same way, you can determine the circumstances of your existence by anchoring your life on the word of God.  Give yourself no option but to stand on God’s word in all that concerns you, whether in your health, finances, relationships, business, education etc. Let the Word be your final arbiter. It’ll keep you in permanent success and prosperity.
