~ SEEKING GOD'S LOVE ~

Worship God in Adoring Embrace, Celebrate in Trembling Awe . . .

None of the good Promises the LORD had made to the House of Israel failed. Everything was Fulfilled . . .

DEEP ROOTS
They are strong, like a tree planted by a River.
The tree produces fruit in season, and its leaves
don't die. Everything they do will Succeed.
PSALM 1:3 NCV
Looking for Peace in the Psalms is not a random choice on your part. There's a reason you've come here. Perhaps you're seeking understanding in a difficult situation. Or maybe you don't know where else to turn. Either way, you're looking in the right place ~ the only place Peace can be found: in God. You'll always find God in his Word.
Like River Waters nourishing a tree's Roots, when you drink in God's Word, it goes deep into your Heart and makes you Strong. God's Nurturing Truth gives you the Courage and Wisdom for whatever you're Facing.
So Seek Him ~ allow his Word to take Root deep in your Heart. You'll be sure to find the Peace you're looking for.
God, I know that I haven't come here by chance.
Thank You that the Psalms will Strengthen my Heart
and Nourish my Soul.
Delight in doing everything the LORD wants;
Day and Night . . . think about his Law.
~ AMEN ~

~ LOVE NEVER FAILS ~
1 Corinthians 13:8 (NIV)
We are not wrong to think we desperately need to be Loved. We do. But we are wrong to think we can make anyone Love us the way we need to be Loved. Our need for Love does not constitute anyone Else's call but God's.
Perhaps you have heard the devastating words, "I just do not Love You Any More". Others may not have heard the words but have felt the Feeling. Throughout Life we will lose people ~ people who really Loved us ~ to Death or Changing Circumstances. As Dear and Rich as their Love was, it was not Unfailing. It Moved. It Died. It Changed. It left Wonderful Memories, but it also left a Hole. Only God's Love Never Fails.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Love of God,
and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you . . .
2 Corinthians 13:13
I used to Struggle with God's Love for me because I knew my own sins and weaknesses ~ all the reasons He should not Love me. Surely everyone else was not the mess deep inside that I was! (Of course, some people can be so full of Self~Righteousness, they seem convinced God Loves them best of all.)
But why do we have such difficulty Believing God could Love with the same unfailing Love those we perceive as good and those we perceive as bad? It's because we relentlessly insist on trying to Humanize God. We tend to Love people according to how they act, and we keep trying to create God in our Image.
