“Throughout the Bible we see God pursuing His people with relentless passion and doing whatever He had to do win them back. God had a plan for redemption and a means to restore a broken relationship.” ~ Joel Ryan

When God moves in our lives and we look and act different than what people have always known ~ we have a great moment to declare what Jesus has done for us and bring Him glory!

God sees you in those moments, those seasons. He not only sees you, but has a secret treasure waiting for you there.

To read God’s word as if the One you love has revealed his heart for you, his passions, his emotions, and his love for you is the more personal way to read it because that is exactly what He has done. God has made himself vulnerable in scripture.

Jesus fully and completely met people where they were at so He could bring them to the the most life-changing decision of their lives -- to believe that He is the Messiah and would save them from their sins.

Perhaps like me at times you find it to believe that a perfect God does in fact, truly and fiercely loves us. That He is walks with us. That He protects us. That He is who we can go to in times of distress and doubt.

You see, I’ve defined anxiety as a feeling. Anxiety isn’t a feeling, it’s a belief system that disguises itself as a feeling.

When we feel nothing He is still there. Still showing up. Still leading. Still loving.

If Americans got behind President Kennedy with his dream to put a man on the moon, surely we can believe in the God of the universe,

Love begins and ends with God. He provided a way for us to be with Him for all of eternity…He loves us so much He wants to spend it with us.

We all like the idea of having grace, mercy, and peace available to us. It’s amazing to realize how freely God gives that to us through Jesus. It’s not something that we can earn, but it’s freely given. 

In the case of how we live our lives, the execution is absolutely just as important as the intent of our hearts.

Our security and trust is not dependent on what this year will look like or not look like. It is not going to waver in tough and hard times. Our security and trust in the One who fiercely and completely holds us!!!!!!!

When we are in a constant communion with God ~ when we trust in and believe in God ~ we are under the umbrella of God’s protection. We are inaccessible.

Jesus loved and met people where they were as He was living His life. We can do the same. We are called to do the same.

Can we trust God that He can see a deeper need in us than what we think we need? Can we trust that He has a wide-lens view of what He’s doing?

The impact of Jesus’ life in this world is still being felt today!

God is not looking down on us with a disapproving shake of His head.

I hope this helps us remember the majesty, the power, and the I hope this helps us remember the majesty, the power, and the faithfulness of our God.

We don’t always need to understand things to be faithful in our walk with God.
