How Great The Father's Love For Us!

We often have a hard time understanding God's love for us, and sometimes think he's only there periodically. As we grow stronger in our walk with Christ through daily reading and prayer we will develop a relationship that is so awesome we will wonder how we ever made it without him! Just as any relationship needs cultivating, our walk with God needs to be the same. Think of it like a parent to a child that is only nice or calls when they want something, hmm....yet that is what we often do to God. He desires to be the one we look too in all situations and contrary to popular belief, he is never too busy or tired.

Some of you may ask how do I know this? Our experience and daily walk with Christ should be our confidence, backed up by his word. The many answered prayers and unexpected favor that is shown to us are constant reminders of his love. Are we looking for his hand and listening to his still small voice?

I am wowed by his ever present provision in my life and my loved ones, through good times and bad. I am indeed humbled that he hears my every prayer, even when it is something as simple as finding my cat, or my way home, he is my closest friend.

When we develop a strong relationship with God, he is always the first one we turn too in gratitude for all he has given us and he comes first in our lives as we reflect his love to those around us, because it is what is in us. Matthew Ch. 24 vs. 34 " For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Whatever we are filled up with is invariably what comes out, whether it be good or evil."

May we all desire to have that intimate walk with God with a lasting peace and hope that passes all understanding, more than all the temporary dainties this world has to offer.
