Why does God care about us?


This is a question that, it seems, crosses many people’s minds today. It is a question that many have wondered about for many centuries. If you have read the Bible, especially the New Testament, Jesus showed God’s love for mankind all during His ministry. It is easy to see God’s love for us because He has waited twenty centuries to allow as many people to come to faith in Jesus. Your life and my life also show how much God loves us because we are alive today. Yes, I have pain in my legs and my back but that doesn’t mean that God doesn’t love me. There are many people dealing with pain and suffering caused by cancer and arthritis and other diseases, but God provides the strength for them to weather them.

God loves us and cares about us because He stitched us together in the womb and for many of us, He does have a purpose. Some of us will not accept His gift of salvation and that’s their choice, but God knew their choice before they did. It is sad that people don’t like to hear that. Yes, God is like any Dad, He will let you make your mistakes and sometimes He lets you suffer because of your mistakes. The gift of grace and salvation is offered to all, but some will not accept His offer. God doesn’t force you to take His gift, it is your choice to accept it or not.

When things go wrong…


All of us have those days that try our patience. We lose our keys or our glasses. The car won’t crank or maybe its making some awful noise going down the road. Hopefully, these things won’t happen on a Monday or a Friday but we don’t have control over any of it. God will help you through it. I know when these things are happening it doesn’t feel like God is anywhere near you, but He is.

God loves us and He is there with us wherever we may be. That is why I pray while I’m driving. I need Him to be near so I can get to my destination and back home again. I know He’s always near, but it makes me feel better when I’m in traffic. Our lives can be so useful to Him in many ways. When you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, you have access to Him all of the time, every day and in any situation. You are loved more than you realize because the love of God is like nothing we can imagine.

God gives us the strength and the faith to make it through many situations so don’t think you can do it on your own. For some things you might be able to get by without His help but even those could’ve been easier with His help. We are very stubborn at times and I know that I’m not the only one. Allow God to come into your heart and your life so you won’t be going through bad days or good days without Him.

Serve in love


On our nation’s 250th birthday, we need to seek Him and learn from Him how to live in our freedom in Christ and the freedom that we have in America.

Live peacefully


In Him we are safe


Resist the Devil…


Resist the devil. What does that mean?

Any temptation that comes into your mind or your sight that tempts you to do something or want something that you shouldn’t have. Those come from the devil and his minions. Temptation comes in many forms but most are from things that God wouldn’t approve of. Jesus went through temptations when He was in the wilderness after His baptism. We see things, such as beautiful cars or trucks that we can’t afford and it is tempting to finance it, especially if we can’t afford it. It is a temptation to get what you desire rather than what God wants you to have. Resist these temptations and pray that God will show you what you should have and ask Him to help you to get it. Walking and living in His will is not hard to do, but you have to do it deliberately.

Life doesn’t compare to heaven


Eternity will be so much better than anything we are going through today. Life here has many problems and possibilities but for many of us we seem to have more problems than possibilities. Eternity with God will be so much more than anything that we have to live through here. Get to know Jesus. Read the Bible. It’s not just a book about what you can do or can’t do, it is God’s love letter to us. He shows us how much He loves us and that love is the basis of all of the blessings that we have now and the unknowable wonder of heaven that we will have there.

Let justice roll on like a river…


Our righteousness and justice both come from God and our relationship with Him. But so many people today don’t consider God as their Savior or even consider that our relationship with God should dictate how our lives should be lived. God gave us the wisdom contained in the Bible, regardless of which version you read, and it is the best guidebook for living that we could ever have!

God loves you and your life matters to Him. Live your life by following Him every day and you will find that life is not as hard to live. God’s presence in your life, beginning with reading even a single verse every day, can make your life so much better. Many don’t seem to understand that God’s presence in their life every day can make every day better.
