"Dang! I did it again!" "I've lived for years backslidden!" "God sure is mad at me now. God must be disappointed, again!" How many of us have had these thoughts? I know I have! Why do you think that is? Didn't John say in 1 John that God is love? And perfect love casts out fear? ( 1John 4:16, 18) Growing up I was scared of God! Every time a severe thunderstorm came I thought " God's mad at me for- insert sin- ." Yet Father God is NOT human! His thoughts our not like ours, His thoughts are higher! Surprise!! See y'all, we compare our Heavenly Father with our earthly father, and our human emotions. Yet God IS love! The Apostle Paul speaks about it in 1 Corinthians 13. He says Love endures long and is patient and kind. Love isn't arrogant or rude,is not touchy or fretful. Takes no account of evil done to it. Love never rejoices in injustice. Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of everybody. Y'all, Love NEVER FAILS! Glory to God! Hallelujah!! The Maker of Head in and earth. The One Who knit you together I. your Mothers womb, Who knows your beginning and end, He IS Love and He loves you! Now, I'm no expert, but I believe what the Bible says! Jeremiah 29:11 AMP God is speaking and He says; " For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome." Beloved friends, God knows every poor choice we will make. Yet He still is steadfast in loving us exactly where we are, waiting for us to turn back to Him! When we sin we know we must repent and ask forgiveness. God will forgive us of ALL sins if we confess to Him.(1 John 1;9)
