Greetings sisters!
Hope you're all doing well in the Lord today.
Autumn colours are already here on the trees in the southern hemisphere!
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Genesis 8:22
His creation as we know it just keeps going until He stops it!
I wanted to share some scriptures that remind us again of the goodness of God! I know there would be hundreds of scriptures about that but here's just a few.
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Ephesians 2:4
He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
Psalm 103:10-14
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
Psalm 86:5
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Revelation 22:17
Praise Him! Let us humbly serve Him as His goodness has led us to repentance and we know He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him! He's preparing a place for His own! That's our hope to come! Let us press on with joy through all what is to come between now and then! We must overcome first!
You know when bad things happen in the world...floods, fires, famine, earthquakes and such things that lead to many deaths or suffering and loss, people are usually mad at God or something like that or at least disappointed that He would allow it. To me it highlights how good He is as we all deserve that and worse. It shows His mercy to allow 8 billion people to live on this planet and in many places people are living very good lives surrounded by all the food and comfort they could want.
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Matthew 5:45
Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
Acts 14:17
That should make us humble and thankful and serve Him with fear amen sisters?!
It's just the lie that He is 'all love' that may leave people puzzled perhaps. Anyway we want to be His humble people as we know we are not getting what we deserve and have an opportunity to find eternal life though His Son! How awesome! (But we know outside of Him there's eternal destruction and we want that for no one but He will judge all according to their works and He will deal with that all, not us. But today we can share the way in hopes some will repent and be spared but we know in reality it is few. But we keep going as one soul is worth more than the whole world and God is glorified!)
Hope all your Titus 2 works are going well sisters!
