The Love of God!

Romans 5:5 

"And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given to us."

We go through day to day lives, many saying, “no one loves me,” but the Bible says there is one who loves us, more than we love ourselves. There is one that sticks close to us, even when we don’t always feel his presence.

 

We can live our lives, going through each day, not hearing a word of encouragement from anyone, but that isn’t what God intended for you to do. Even if there is no one in your life who will offer it to you, know you can go to the one place where you can receive encouragement each day. Affirmation after affirmation of God’s love and His desire for your life… It is in His Holy Book, the Bible. It was intended for daily use…

He will tell you every day, you are loved, you are cared for, that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. He promises to walk with you, talk with you, lead and guide you… God is good and His love is never ending.

Romans 8:39

"Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Faith Steps!

It is funny how life changes and it ends up not looking like you thought it was going to look like. You

see your children growing and following their own paths, and your own life changes are just as surprising to you than what you ever thought it was going to be for yourself. You see yourself another year older, and haven't done all the things you thought you would, you find yourself experiencing things in life that you didn't expect to experience, and yet you keep on going.

You take each step by faith, knowing that God has a plan, not your plan, not what you thought it was going to be, but a plan. You know tomorrow will be another experience, another challenge, and maybe even a new blessing. Take what you are given and praise God for a new day, He will show you the right path if you are listening to Him and letting Him lead you.

II Corinthians 5:7 - For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Joshua 1:9 - Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neighter be though dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersover though goest.
