Yesterday Isaiah was on my mind. Words of hope, promise and love. Light bulb moments beaming with fresh realisations about God. Understanding Him more. Rationalising why the world is confused by Him.
God speaks with truth, consistency and love. He cherishes
us. His purpose for us was made clear. He hasn’t digressed from that vision.
That purpose, and His love, never changes (see
Isaiah 44:8).
HE
WON’T CHANGE HIS MIND … EVER!
Relief floods my heart, and as I close my eyes I gain
some steps forward in my journey with Jesus. Feeling His closeness and the
peace that ensues is pure joy.
The world doesn’t understand God, and yesterday I realised
that God’s proclamations of His power and greatness are misinterpreted.
He’s not saying those things because He’s bragging, or
because He wants to intimidate us into following Him.
HE
IS SAYING THOSE THINGS BECAUSE HE LOVES US. TRULY.
He is declaring His love for us. Reassuring us that we can turn to Him and rely on Him without fail.
We need to be as bold as God. We need to proclaim that WE
ARE SAVED. WE ARE LOVED. WE ARE VALUED. WE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. Not to brag, but
to share in love with others the joy that comes from knowing Jesus.
He is our living water. The only means of complete and thorough refreshment (see Isaiah 44:3-4).
He chose to give us His Spirit and blessing.
We are meant to THRIVE, and not just be.
Be bold.
Be brave.Be courage.
Exude intrepidity.
Share His love. Share His purpose. Share His living
water. Splash it out over all you meet. And remember that YOU are loved,
cherished and made for His purpose.
Love your thoughts here, Paula!!
