Hello again sisters!
Good to start the day pondering on and being thankful for God's mercy, grace, love, kindness, longsuffering, faithfulness, forgiveness, and so much more! How can you not go forth in your day rejoicing with a humble thankful heart after that! Reminds me of the man in Acts that Philip preached Jesus to who went on his way rejoicing about hearing about the Saviour!
So I share a few scriptures on those amazing blessings and of course there's so much more!
And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
Exodus 34:6-7
But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.Psalm 86:15-16
I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.Isaiah 63:7
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)Ephesians 2:4-5
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.1 John 1:9
He is good and so too we His children are to strive to be perfect as He is. Holy as He is. Of course we're still humans and always will be until we are like the angels in heaven with new spiritual bodies but until then we just strive to do our best with His help in these mortal bodies.
I was thinking of this scripture...
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.1 Corinthians 15:58
And how whatever good works we do, our labours in the Lord, and that which is according to His will is never in vain! Isn't that encouraging! We once may have lived for useless corruptible things and the lusts of the flesh, all temporary vain things but now in Christ nothing is in vain! Praise God for this! And others can be set free as well!
I must go now. But one day if we all endure we shall be forever with the Lord! Let that comfort us and help us strive on with more zeal and love for Him. We can endure in anticipation of getting to see Him face to face!
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians 4:17-18
