we're not always ready to receive God's love. And we're not prepared to accept that it comes in a variety of ways. Often when we least expect it, God's love can show up in the form of something or someone we aren't happy to see-something or someone we want to push away or even run from. And, let me tell you, God's love can make us downright uncomfortable at times.
The message conveyed in Melody Carlson's "The Christmas Dog" highlights the complexity of receiving God's love. It suggests that we may not always be open to embracing this love, as it can manifest in unexpected forms. Sometimes, what we perceive as unwelcome or difficult situations can actually be expressions of divine love, challenging us to grow and change.
This theme emphasizes the discomfort that can accompany genuine love, especially when it forces us to confront our own resistance or fears. God's love often arrives in ways that challenge our perceptions and encourage us to reconsider our responses, teaching us to accept love in all its diverse and sometimes uncomfortable forms.
