I was listening to a sermon, and I loved to remember this truth:
When a child is first learning to walk, her parents don't scold unmercifully. When she falls down, the parent doesn't yell, "What are you doing?!? You're a failure of a child!! You can't even walk!"No, no. The parent encourages, arms outstretched to receive their baby.
It's the same with God. As we grow spiritually, He is not berating us and condemning us. He's encouraging. He loves unconditionally.
What a fantastic thing to remember. God is on your side.

Mazenzie, very factual logic ! When GOD is for you, there is NO concern who is against you ! We also cannot EVER outgive our Lord -- HE only asks we draw near and abide in HIM --- oh, safe and happy shelter, when we rely totally on HIM.
ReplyDeletePraise HIM, hallelujah !
