Have you thanked Him?
Have you praised Him?
Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?
Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?
1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)
1-3The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.
“So many mistakes.”
“Failed again.”
“Walked right into ‘another one.’”
“Let my guard down for one second and WHAM!”
We have the best of intentions and the best of plans and yet more often than not “something” happens.
We forget to look before we leap.
We count our chickens before they are hatched.
We opt for the two in the bush instead of that solid bird in the hand.
In other words we simply get it “wrong”.
We let ourselves down. We let others down. But more often than not we let GOD down.
And then what happens? The old enemy comes creeping around to heckle us and kick us in the gut.
“You know what you did? That sin is gonna cost you big time with the big fella.” “GOD is going to cash out on you for that one.” “You have really done it this time; another relapse? Really what is wrong with you?” “Wait until everyone finds out, that “church” you attend will make you sit in the balcony alone with the other failures for sure.”
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
The TRUTH is we DO get it wrong. We get it wrong A LOT! GOD knows we will.
Romans 3:23
Everyone has sinned and fallen short...
But GOD’s love for us NEVER changes in spite of all of the wrong decisions, the wrong steps, the blown calls or the mistakes. HIS love NEVER fails even when WE DO.
“His love never fails it never gives up, it never runs out on me…” Brian and Jenn Johnson.
That is so very true. GOD’s love doesn’t fail. It is impervious to our sin. It stands when all else falters. It endures forever.
Psalm 136:26
Give thanks to the God of heaven, for his steadfast love endures forever.
Perhaps one of those early quotes describes your yesterday; a day racked with failure and mistakes. Don’t listen to those lies of the enemy. Wake up to this truth and take heart this morning in the unfailing, unending and mistake free LOVE OF GOD!
Romans 3:24 (MSG)
...Out of sheer generosity (AND HIS GREAT LOVE) he (GOD) put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we’re in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. (WITH HIM TODAY) And he did it by means of Jesus Christ.
His love never fails.
I love you all!
