As for God, His way is\u00a0blameless.<\/span>
\n The Word of the Lord<\/span> is tested;<\/span>
\n He is a Shield to all who take refuge in Him.
\nPsalm 18:30<\/span><\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 ~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u271e\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 *\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember, as a child, how our dad was our hero? \u00a0How he could not do any wrong in our eyes? \u00a0Well, God wants us to love and trust Him like that. \u00a0To love Him with a purity and honesty that surpasses anything we could ever comprehend.<\/p>\n

As we grew older our dads made mistakes, because they are human. They maybe did not show up at a ballgame, dance recital or have time to listen. \u00a0But I know Who does—God our Father<\/em><\/span>. \u00a0He has time to listen to all of our issues. \u00a0He is always there…all we need to do is call out to Him because He will give us the ultimate peace.<\/p>\n

There are a few moments when we experience pure joy. \u00a0For some it is when their children are born; for others it is receiving the long-awaited proposal; for others it is when we accept the love and forgiveness of our Heavenly Father. \u00a0You feel alive, changed, clean, and whole. \u00a0Just as the shepherds watching the sheep on the night Jesus was born; they witnessed the joy of the celebration of heavenly hosts. \u00a0Then they were able to see Jesus while he was just hours old. Can you imagine their pure joy?<\/p>\n

Mary was able to have the celebration of her first-born child, even though she was not at home. \u00a0God was so good to her to have others there to witness Jesus’ birth and all could feel the love of the Father that night, those who were expecting and able to see. \u00a0This is what we felt when we first believed.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 ~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u271e\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 *\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

If you have not pursued Jesus as your personal Savior, reach out to Him. \u00a0It is as simple as saying this simple prayer, “Father, I am a sinner. Forgive me for my sins. Thank You for loving me and accepting me into Your family. In Jesus’ name, amen.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
