Taking a Break

I will be taking a break from blogging for a while. I have been studying God's love and I want to spend focused time learning to understand the love of God. I hope to return to writing daily blog posts again in a few months.

Thanks for reading. Please pray for me and I would love to hear your comments.

God Rejoices Over Us (Part 10)


"The Lord your God is in your midst,
A victorious warrior.
He will exult over you with joy,
He will be quiet in His love,
He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.

Zep 3:17

God dwells with us. He is in our midst. He's there to help us, and to be our companion and leader all through life. He'll never forsake us. Not only does He do all us this for us, but also, He enjoys it. He exalts over us with joy. He loves us. He shouts and rejoices over us. He gives us good things generously, and is happy to do it. He loves having a relationship with us.

Do we love our relationship with Him? Do the things we do please Him?

Lord, I thank You for the pursuing a relationship with me. Thank You for loving me even when I don't return that love. Thank You for dwelling with me. Thank You for rejoicing over me. I want to always bring You joy by my life. Help me to put my relationship with You before anything else so that You can always rejoice over me with shouts of joy.

God's Unending Commitment and Love (Part 9)


"I will betroth you to Me forever;
Yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice,
In lovingkindness and in compassion,
 And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness.
Then you will know the Lord.

Hosea 2:19-20

God's love for us stands in strong contrast to human love. We falter and fail. God's love endures. Our love wanes. God's love never fails. As we accept God's love and spend more time with Him, our love can become more like his. We can love unconditionally. We love when people do not return our love. We can love the unlovely

Lord, thank You for your amazing love. Help me to love like You do. Help me to be a picture of Your love to other people around me.
