Feeling the Sunshine of God’s Love. Walking in the Shadow of His Peace
God’s love warms our heart. Our Father’s peace is the shadow which comforts and strengthens us.
The Sunshine of God’s Love.
I journeyed oft with sadness and shadowy was the day,
I longed for joy and gladness to brighten up the way,
I heard the old, old story of Him who reigns above,
And now I know the glory, the sunshine of God’s love.Refrain:
I know, I know, I know it’s mine forever,
This gift from Heav’n above I see.
Is but the love of God for me,
I know, I know, I know it’s mine forever,
The light from Heav’n I see is but the love of God for me. (Eric Clapton, 1967)
Introduction. As we turn our faces to the rays of the sun. We turn our heart to the love of God our Father.
Scripture Reading: Because of the tender mercy of our God,
whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high. (Luke 1:78, ESV)
We sit quietly now, to remember each day is a loving gift. Each and every day is a blessing from a God who loves us so. The sun rises each morning. Filled with God’s loving promises and His blessed hope. The sunrises each morning urging us to seek God’s face. The sun rises each morning urging us to seek God’s will and to serve Him. To serve Almighty God and Him alone.
At the start of each day. We bow our head in prayer. We lift our heart to the artistry of God’s sunrise. We turn our face to the sun. We bathe in the sunshine of our Father’s love.
We walk into the gentle warmth and the light of God’s sunrise. Reminding us of the tender and gentle warmth of God’s unceasing love. The delicate and changing colors of His sunrise. Are like the gentle words God speaks to us in His Holy Scriptures. God’s words gently speak to our heart. The Bible is a light to our feet, guiding us through our day.
The changing hues of His sunrise. Are like the changing moods throughout our day. Yet, the artist, the One who loves us so. God never changes. Upon Him we can rely. God our Heavenly Father loves us so. Our God, our Lord is in His sunrise. God in His artistry speaks gently to us. Welcoming us into His brand-new day.

There is consecrated truth in the words,
Scripture Reading: 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. (1 John 4:16, NIV)
God’s hope and peace and love are unfathomable.

Scripture Reading: For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11, ESV)
This verse speaks God’s hope, love and peace directly to our heart. We can never fully understand the why for God’s love. We have a lifetime. We have eternity to think about how great Almighty God’s love must be.
God’s heart and will for each and every one of those seven billion people is to give them a future and a hope, from the most devout and God-fearing among them, down to the most unrepentant sinners. (Aksel J. Smith, Active Christianity Blog)
The more we search out the depths, the height and the breadth of God’s love. The more we seek God’s love in His Holy Word. The more there is to find of and about His love.
The more you and I know of God and His love for us. The more we are driven to love Him with all we are, with all the love our heart can hold. We are bursting with God’s unceasing love. You and I want to share His love with each person God places in our life.

If you, as me, love God’s Bible verses where He promises to protect and to care for us. Well, let me put your mind at ease. Throughout God’s Word there are plenty of promises of God’s protection. We may not have spent three days in the den of lions. As did Daniel in the Old Testament. At times life feels this way.
