How do we summon and maintain that feeling of being loved? It’s pretty simple. We don’t. Because it’s not a feeling; it’s a fact. To “remain in God’s love” is a frame of mind. We use our brains to remind our hearts. We may not be able to sustain the emotion of being loved by God, but we can remain in the knowledge of being loved by God. We can remain in the memory of being loved by God—and let that sow confidence within us that nothing about his posture toward us has changed.
