Romans 5:2-5 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.~Be blessed ~Leaving you with love,smiles and hugs,Linda
You and I have stumbled in life. We've done our best, only to trip and fall. The distance between where we are and where we want to be is impassable. Where do we turn? I suggest we look to one of God's sweetest promises:"For our high priest [Jesus] is able to understand our weaknesses. He was tempted in every way that we are, but he did not sin. Let us, then, feel very sure that we can come before God's throne where there is grace. There we can receive mercy and grace to help us when we need it" (Hebrews 4:15-16).When we stumble we aren't abandoned. The stunning idea is simply this: God, for a time, became one of us. God became flesh in the form of Jesus Christ. Neither his humanity nor deity were compromised.Because God's promises are unbreakable our hope is unshakable!~ Leaving you with love, smiles and hugs,Linda
The God who made the world and everything in it looked out across an earth"without form and void" (Genesis 1:2), and He spoke it into being."Without Him was not any thing made that was made" (John 1:3).He creates and lives and rules"without iniquity" (Deuteronomy 32:4). He knows and frustrates all the plans of man"without investigation" (Job 34:21-24). He has done and continues to do amazing works"without number" (Job 5:9). In fact, all that He intends to do, He does"without fail" (Joshua 3:10). And one day it will be clear to everyone that nothing He has ever done was done"without a cause" (Ezekiel 14:23). ~Leaving you with love, smiles and hugs, Linda
