THE LORD IS GOOD AND HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER;
HIS FAITHFULNESS CONTINUES THROUGH ALL
GENERATIONS.
( PSALM 100:5 *NIV )


When we try our very best to live by following God's Commandments we please our Heavenly Father. For THE LORD LOVES RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE; and THE EARTH IS FULL OF HIS UNFAILING LOVE, for His children that obey His Laws.. ( PSALM 33:5 )

The Prophet Moses told us to: LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH. THESE COMMANDMENTS THAT I GIVE YOU TODAY ARE TO BE ON YOUR HEARTS. IMPRESS THEM ON YOUR CHILDREN. TALK ABOUT THEM WHEN YOU SIT AT HOME AND WHEN YOU WALK ALONG THE ROAD, WHEN YOU LIE DOWN AND WHEN YOU GET UP.
( DEUTERONOMY 6:5-7 )

Now it is easy to Love God when we think about how much He loves us, and all that He has done for us. After all through Him all blessings flow! Therefore let us: GIVE THANKS, TO THE LORD, FOR HE IS GOOD: HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER! ( 1 CHRONICLES 16:34 )

A RIGHTEOUS MAN MAY HAVE MANY TROUBLES, BUT
THE LORD DELIVERS HIM FROM THEM ALL.
( PSALM 34:19 *NIV )




We all face troubling times in our lives. Times that we wish that we could escape from troubles like the pain of sorrow, grief or failure to just name a few. Even perhap the small daily frustrations that constantly bother us as well.

When you find yourself experiencing problems like that remember that: THE LORD IS CLOSE TO THE BROKEN HEARTED AND SAVES THOSE WHO ARE CRUSHED IN SPIRIT.
( PSALM 34:18 ) For after all: THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE ON THE RIGHTEOUS AND HIS EARS ARE ATTENTIVE TO THEIR CRY. (PSALM 34:15 ) For when THE RIGHTEOUS CALL OUT, AND THE LORD HEARS THEM; HE DELIVERS THEM FROM ALL THEIR TROUBLES.
( PSALM 34:17 )

Now you may be thinking, how does that apply to me for I do not feel very righteous. Well through Jesus Christ we become righteous, for it is written: GOD MADE HIM WHO HAD NO SIN TO BE SIN, SO THAT IN HIM WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD.
( 2 CORINTHIANS 5:21 ) Therefore if we repent of our sins they are cleansed from "The Book of Life," and we become righteous once again!

So, remember the Words of our Savior Jesus Christ: "DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED. TRUST IN GOD; TRUST ALSO IN ME." and let GOD deliver you from all of your troubles! Amen. ( JOHN 14:1 )

SO GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE, IN THE IMAGE
OF GOD HE CREATED HIM; MALE AND FEMALE HE
CREATED THEM.
( GENESIS 1:27 *NIV )


We are indeed made in God's image. When you think about that it means, God has feelings and emotions just like we do. Now that means that God can experience anger just as we sometimes do. Remember Noah's Flood, as well as, Sodom & Gomorrah to just name two. How about Jesus in the Temple with the money changers, now that was righteous indignation indeed!

Then there is Love, who has more Love than our Heavenly Father: FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. ( JOHN 3:16 ) AND WE KNOW AND RELY ON THE LOVE GOD HAS FOR US, FOR GOD IS LOVE.
( 1 JOHN 4:16 )

God also experiences sorrow, remember when Jesus went to raise Lazarus from the dead? Is it not written that first: JESUS WEPT, ( JOHN 11:35 ) then He raised Lazarus from the dead!

So friends, when you think about God remember He is your Loving, Caring, Heavenly Father. A Father who understands, and is always there for you no matter what. One that you may always turn to with all of your troubles and sorrows, for He truly understands!

Therefore always tell God how much you love Him when you pray, and never be afraid to share anything with Him! After all: THE LORD YOUR GOD IS WITH YOU, HE IS MIGHTY TO SAVE. HE WILL TAKE GREAT DELIGHT IN YOU, HE WILL QUIET YOU WITH HIS LOVE, HE WILL REJOICE OVER YOU WITH SINGING. Amen.
( ZEPHANIAH 3:17 )
