The love of God does not ask , what does my children deserve to have?

The love asks what do I deserve for my children to have.

Our ” deserverbility” is God’s love for us.

If on one side, things are not going as you expect in any day , month, or year

And on another side one is loved by God, has the Holy Spirit , has eternal life and the anointing of Holly spirit

How would one define their day, month or year?

Bad because of the tough circumstances of daily life or Good because of the eternal circumstance of union with Christ?

Are you REAL when you define your living by the temporary flow of events Or when you define it by the unchanging goodness of God?

We are smack in the middle of these two, which is our choice ?

Almost every minister I know have made this statement . ” we started the ministry with nothing”

So I wonder , does the gift of righteousness , the grace of God, the Holy Spirit , the word of God , the very life of God In us which every minister begins with really amounts to nothing?

Anyone who begins with Christ and the Holy Spirit begins with everything.

Nobody knows better than God the origin, consequences and solution to sin .

How did He deal with it ? He sent grace instead of condemnation , Mercy instead of judgement , Life instead of wrath through Christ on the cross.

Can anyone really love God( spirit) more than their partner,family or neighbor that they see?

We say these things to show reverence to God but I doubt if God is swayed. The love with which we love God can only be exhibited on people we see

Been in seclusion at a Christian men ‘s retreat.

The testimony of many in that retreat was earth shaking. The love of God is without any qualifiers . It is raw and undiluted .For every qualifier that is put on it, people are disqualified .

Is it not amazing that the only person that accompanied Jesus into paradise was a thief?
