God Loves You!

"Train a child up in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it."  Proverbs 22:6

 To Whom It May Concern

You know you may leave me for a little while to seek after the things of the world but you'll come back. You'll find out. No love of money or anything can fill that void in you but me. I put that void there to be filled with my love. You will never be complete without me. So I'm sending my ambassadors to you to show you my love. Anyone who gives you a kind word, a word of encouragement, a kind act, remember it is from Me. I am a personal God. I love YOU!
God

(If you so happen to stumble upon this page, know it was not by accident. God sent you here to tell you how much He loves you)

I Am In Awe and Revere My God!

Yes, that's right. I fear him! That's what it means to be in awe of Him and revere Him! I highly esteem Him. Deeply respect and venerate Him! I worship Him!

Does not sound like fear to you? Well, that's the kind of fear God had in mind for you to feel towards Him. God is good. He does not want you to be afraid or frightened of Him like what we think of when we think of fear.

So fear of the Lord means extreme reverence or awe. The synonyms for 'revere' is worship, venerate, adore, idolize.

So in this case, I have definite 'fear of the Lord!'

God's Stamp of Approval

Romans 5:17 "For if, through the transgression of the one individual, Death made use of the one individual to seize the sovereignty, all the more shall those who receive God's overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in Life through the one individual, Jesus Christ". Weymouth

Righteousness- right standing with God.
Dictionary says doing what is right,godly.
First of all you see in the verse above, righteousness is a gift. Gifts are just that. You cannot earn them! When you read the Bible, the 'Good News' which is the Gospel reveals to you how God made you righteous. In the short, Jesus took you on the cross with Him and gave you righteousness (right standing with God). If you have been born again,saved,(accepted Jesus as your Savior)then you are righteous. Don't let the devil tell you any different! You are free from guilt and shame, from the past, inferiority and unworthiness.

Through the shedding of Jesus blood, you have been made right with God. All you have to do now is have faith that this is so. Jesus is sharing with you His place with God. Do not think you can earn it, grow it or feed it. It is a gift. You cannot grow in righteousness.

Don't confuse with self-righteousness. This means you think you are better than everyone else or that you are faultless. You are not faultless.

Look close. There's a big difference. When you are born again (accept Jesus), you are not better than anyone else, you are right with God.
This righteousness is between you and God. It is His 'stamp of approval' on you. A gift to cherish. Everyone in Christ has this 'gift', this 'right' standing with God.

As another version of the Bible says "and the gift of His approval will rule in life because of one person", that person being Jesus Christ.

Haven't accepted Jesus into your life as your Savior? It's pretty easy. All you have to do is be honest and heartfelt and say "Jesus, I need you. I believe in you. Please come inside me right now and give me your gift of righteousness, which I have learned is your 'stamp of approval'. Do a work in me. Make me a "new man" In your precious name, I pray. Amen (so be it).

Let me know if you prayed this!

Is God imaginary? Does He have a plan for us?

God has a plan but He also gave us "free will"(a choice). The devil has a plan too. God, being the gentleman and loving Father that He is doesn't move(doesn't make you do what He wants) but waits for us to make a choice. And sometimes our choices get us in trouble but He's there. Yes....You have to look for Him and have that little bit of faith...you know that mustard seed kind of faith that you hear about so often? But wow! When you do, you know He's been there! No mistake. Too many things happen when you follow His prompting that proves it. Sorta like the wind. Can't see it but you see what happened after it came!Is God imaginary? No,God is not imaginary,just invisible to the naked carnal, non-believing eye!
