The Lover of My Soul
Our God is amazing...Growing in love with Him is unbelievable. I am in awe of His leadership, goodness and kindness. He is all that I want and need.
He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness and He relents from doing harm. (Joel 2:13) He is the One pursuing you this very moment and desiring to know you in a personal and intimate way. It's your heart that He is after, it's your love that He craves.
If this doesn't sound like the Jesus you've heard about, I would encourage you to actually open your Bible and check it out...He will show you how He views you and what He was really after when He came to this earth to die-for you. He didn't leave His glory in heaven to die as a weak human so that we could 'stay out of hell', He wants a relationship with you. Of course He wishes that none shall perish (2 Peter 3:9) but that's not why He was crushed under the wrath of the Father for our sins. He desires YOU. Wherever you are and whatever you're going through, He wants YOU. Is that really too much to ask? (Romans 12:1)
Romans 5:8,
Dave

I like the kindness factor. His kindness is what drives everything to come to this great (& terrible)clash..wow..That's what I got from Sat nite. Thanks for that!!
Yep, Carrie. You, Louie Giglio, Chris Tomlin, and Romans 2:4 say it, "Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?"
[Oh, the Giglio and Tomlin reference is to the song, "Kindness."] http://www.grassrootsmusic.com/artist/passion/passion3
Swee...
[The song's entire lyrics can be found on this page/site: http://lyrics.crossmap.com/track/tomlin-chris/noise-we-make/kindness.htm]
Enjoy!
Please take care and God Bless:o)
Love,

P.S.--"But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself."--Philippians 3:20-21
