His Love endures forever
When things are getting better in life, we tend to forget the One who blesses us with all good things.
He is the Greatest Father we can ever have.
When problems strike we call to Him for help, but we often neglect to spend time with Him.
God wants His children to love Him. In fact, it is the first commandment.
Many times we can get caught up with our own head, swirling in different thoughts of fear, anger, guilt
and shame. It shouldn't be this way. I know it's easier said than done.
But as christians, we must train our minds to think on good things, this is something I want to practice as well. I'm not talking about "feel good".
I'm talking about good things, the bible says it clearly: "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." -Philippians 4:8
With all the things that's going on with the world today, I know it can be a struggle to think on good things, especially with all the deaths and lies all over the place.
But these things aren't new, there's nothing new under the sun: death and suffering has been around for a very long time, because both of them are result of "sin".
Personally, when I think on problems on the world, it makes me feel angry to those who deceive and sorry for those who are being deceived. I forgive them and I trust in the Lord that He will not let the wicked go unpunished.
When I think how powerful God is, and that He is just, and that He sees everything and that He loves His children, It gives me peace and joy and contentment.
I know I'm being taken care of, and indeed He's taking care of me and my husband. He provides for us and satisfies our soul.
Even when the world is getting darker, I have this peace in my heart, I know it is His peace. I owe everything to the Lord Jesus Christ.
He is the Good Shepherd. And His love endures forever.
