God Loves You So Much.
by Steve Countryman God is omnipresent, He knows the beginning from the end. God knows ALL possible outcomes to all situations that life can offer. From the gigantic to the smallest detail, God knows the outcome. God knows every possible way to answer your prayers even before you ask Him for help. He often answers our prayers in ways we least expect it or never thought was even possible. That is mind blowing! Father God knows the best way to answer your prayers and ALWAYS answers them in ways that will bring you the biggest blessings! Psalm 84:11 "For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless." You are His prize possession. When God looks at you He smiles! That's because He sees who lives in you, His Son Jesus. He sees who you are versus who you were. God also sees what you will do in the future that will bring Him glory. The other day I thought about how much God loves me and how I often make it difficult for Him to do so. But He stills loves me none the less! God loves you even when you fail and fall. God will purposely place an obstacle in your path to see how you will handle it even though He already knows the answer. How strange it must be for God who knows all things to give you an opportunity to do the right thing even though He knows that you will fail. Why would God waste His time on you knowing that you will fail? Because you are His child and He loves you so much that He wants you to grow and mature in Him. So that means that some times you will fail. No God is not mean or sadistic, He takes no pleasure in your pain, suffering or your failures. But He rejoices in your victories! What is so awesome about God is that He never holds your failures, faults and flaws against you. God knows that you will not always come out the victor. But He also knows that because you faced this trial and failed that you will succeed next time because of it. "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger." It is like a parent who tries to help their child take their first steps. Sooner or later the parent has to let the child go on their own to see if they can make it knowing that the child will fall down. What joy fills your heart when you see them succeed and walk on their own. That is how God is with you. He hurts when you fall and rejoices when you succeed. When you fall you make the choice to get back up again. All heavens rejoices when you do! There is nothing that you are going through or could ever go through that Jesus didn't face here on earth in one way or another. In fact Jesus suffered things for us so that we wouldn't have to suffer them on our own. That is part of the abundant life that He came to provide for us. God's love is a powerful love. His love is so big and wonderful that trying to measure it would be like trying to measure the universe. God loves you so much and has so much faith in you that He will give you every opportunity to succeed even at the expense of your failures! Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
