Why on earth do I say God loves me?
Part 5
And, again, that is not how God’s love is experienced. His love speaks with an authentic voice. If I was tricking myself, I would be more deviously self-serving and induce the voice to tell me exactly what I want to hear. Instead, the voice of God definitely has a mind of its own, and tells me the truth about myself in no uncertain terms. I don’t think I am fooling myself. I know what my voice sounds like in my head when I’m trying to talk myself around on some matter, and this voice simply sounds like a different voice to my own. God is speaking back to us in a genuine conversation – always full of love, but sometimes definitely saying things we’d rather not hear.
This voice of God has become the most precious thing in my life. It acts exactly like I would expect God to act in the traditional understanding of God. I cannot see any reason why we should not call this God – and love him, and act on what he says accordingly.
