Who Loves You?

Yes, it’s true! God absolutely loves you! It may be a little hard to completely understand just how much He loves you, but it is true. That’s where faith comes in.

Faith starts with understanding that God loves us all unconditionally. We don’t have to work for his affection. We don’t have to set ourselves straight before He can pour out His love over us. God loves us simply because He loves us. We can always count on God’s love to be faithful forever. No matter the trials we face, His commitment to us doesn’t waver, ever.

 

“Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.” – Deuteronomy 7:9

“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.” – Isaiah 54:10

And to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” – Ephesians 3:19

“And walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” – Ephesians 5:2

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8

“So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.”  – 1 John 4:16

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.” – Psalms 136:1

 

 

 

 

The True Reason for Our Joy

Jesus Christ is the reason we celebrate this season, rejoicing in His birth and unending love for us. There’s no greater message to share than the good news of the miraculous birth of God’s precious Son, Jesus Christ!
During this special holiday, Isaiah 9:1-7 reminds us of the true reason for our joy.
The Government of the Promised Son

1 Nevertheless the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed,
As when at first He lightly esteemed
The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
And afterward more heavily oppressed her,
By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan,
In Galilee of the Gentiles.
The people who walked in darkness
Have seen a great light;
Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death,
Upon them a light has shined.

You have multiplied the nation
And increased its joy;
They rejoice before You
According to the joy of harvest,
As men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
For You have broken the yoke of his burden
And the staff of his shoulder,
The rod of his oppressor,
As in the day of Midian.
For every warrior’s sandal from the noisy battle,
And garments rolled in blood,
Will be used for burning and fuel of fire.

6 For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

Enter His Gates with Thanksgiving

As we gather ’round the table and celebrate this Thanksgiving with those we love, Psalm 100 reminds us of the One who is worthy of all our thanks and praise….

 

Psalm 100 (NLT)

A psalm of thanksgiving.

Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth!
Worship the Lord with gladness.
Come before him, singing with joy.
Acknowledge that the Lord is God!
He made us, and we are his.[a]
We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
go into his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good.
His unfailing love continues forever,
and his faithfulness continues to each generation.

 

Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving filled with joy and blessings from our Lord Jesus Christ!

Taste and See that the LORD is good. Psalm 34:8
