He loves us deeply; He wouldn’t harm a hair on our heads. God gets a majority of His bad reputation (wrongly, of course) because He has given mankind free will and the authority to overcome the works of the enemy (Luke 10:19); however, few see their potential in Christ (Philippians 4:13) and use the tools God provided for joy and victory which are found in Christ Jesus. I am not saying we will have a perfect life; I am saying we have joy and know we have victory during the good and bad times. We know God is on our side and we know all things work towards and for our good (Romans 8:31, Roman’s 8:28). This is all true, but there are a few other parts that are vital to our walk. Notice how many times I said, “we know”? Knowing and believing in a loving God is vital to our Christian walk. Seeing His true image (who He is, a loving God) is one of the most important tasks we are given. If we do not know Him and His Son-His words- we do not have eternal life (John 17:3). How can we blame God if we are the ones not spending time with Him? Know Him through prayer, scripture, and the Holy Spirit, and be blessed…
