Some people have a very warped view of God…that He is impersonal…that He doesn’t want to be bothered by us, fallen, bothersome, puny human beings…that we are nothing but a great disappointment to Him.  Nothing could be further from the truth…and if those people would only take the time to look in His Book…the Bible…they would find a God who genuinely loves and cares for each and every one of us.  For instance…check this out:

Ephesians 2:4-8

4 But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions–it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparable riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.

“If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He’ll listen. He could live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart. What about the Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem; not to mention that Friday at Calvary.”  ~ Joe Gatuslao

The Lord bless you and keep you….
