You feel his presence. You feel his love for you. You feel him calling to you to come closer so that he can give you the good portion, the good things in life your heart desires; unconditional love, forgiveness, another chance to be who you know you are underneath all the abuse and pain. You know you want peace. You want to be happy. You want to feel like everything is ok.
Hope is why you're here. That tug at your heart, that feeling you have in your gut that God's got you and has always had you. That feeling when people are treating you like less than enough but you feel deep down there's more and you are lovable and there is more out there. You're promised more. That's God. He's the more you're looking for. 1 John 4:16. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
God is love. Does God allow people to have freedom of choice? Yes. Does God allow us to make our own choices and live life the way we want to? Yes. Does God allow us to choose who or what we believe in and choose to put first in our life? Yes. What are the benefits of choosing God and putting him first in our life? Matthew 6:33 NIV But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
God is our provider, a loving father, and the great physician. There's nothing that you need or will ever need that he hasn't already thought about. God will provide you with everything you need; guidance, success, protection, peace, healing, joy from within, and freedom from anxiety. God will also strengthen you with strength and might in your inner man so that you can do everything you need to do. Psalms 37:4 NIV Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. END
