Forever.

Give thanks to the Lord,
Our God and King.
His love endures forever,
For He is good, He is above all things.
His love endures forever,
Sing praise, sing praise.

With a mighty hand,
And outstretched arm.
His love endures forever,
For the life that’s been reborn,
His love endures forever.

(Chris Tomlin)

Introduction. Each day, as we walk in Almighty God’s presence. God’s glory and His unceasing love. Fills our heart and our life with wonder and with awe.

Scripture Reading: Then Jesus said, ‘Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?’ (John 11:40, NIV)

You and I give back to Almighty God. The love He first bestowed onto us. This is the true and sincere meaning of radical love. Falling deeply and intimately in love with the One who loves us so. We are never. Not for a moment to be apart from His Holy and righteous presence.

We hunger and we thirst to feel God’s gentle touch each day. Not only in our Suday morning church service. Every waking hour we yearn for the presence of God our Heavenly Father. To hear the words of praise in King David’s Psalms. To read of His Teachings in the Gospels. To share God’s sadness and His heartbreak at His Son’s crucifixion. For to feel God. Is to share in His sadness and in His heartache. As He does in ours.

Every day you and I fall more deeply and intimately in love with the God who first loves us. Throughout our day, our mind and our heart drifts to thoughts of God’s glory. We are continually amazed as we see before us God’s creations.

We stand in awe before our Creator. As we gently hold a single white rose. We wonder at God’s simplicity of design. We breathe in its sweet aroma. We feel the velvety texture of this beauty’s petals. Then, you and I marvel at the complexities of this flower’s inner workings. Who would think, this single white rose. Holds for us, such wonder, such awe. For it, also is a unique creation. Of God, our Creator.

Scripture Reading: The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of Heaven and Earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. (Acts 17:24, NIV)

Returning to God His never-ending and unconditional love.

Pray to Him more often. Pray to Him more deeply. With an open heart as that of a child of simple faith. Believe without doubt or question. God Almighty always, always answers.

Falling deeply and intimately in love with God Almighty. Growing steadily in our faith journey each and every day. Never letting go of His righteous embrace. Believing in His Holy Word. Every Book, every Chapter, verse and text was written by the Finger of God. God’s Love Story written by God in the language of love.

Obeying His Holy Law. Even when not quite knowing the why and the how. Serving all God’s people, as a true and a humble service to the Almighty One. All this, and so very much more. Is how we fall deeply and personally in love with the One who loves us so.

Growing deeper and more intimately in love with the Almighty One.

Scripture Readings: Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, His love endures forever. (1 Chronicles 16:34, NIV)

Praying without “ceasing”, as God commands. “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.” (Romans 12:12, ESV)

For me the never-ending miracle of falling more and more in love with Almighty God. Is each day the more we learn of and about our Heavenly Father. Closer and more near to us He becomes. As our prayer time with our Heavenly Father matures and blossoms. Our connection to our Heavenly Father deepens and increases. To such a level. His presence is felt nearby always.

Prayer time is for each of His beloved children. A welcomed time of peace and quiet solitude. A sought-after time with the One who truly listens. A Father who faithfully answers each plea.

I so look forward to my time at the close of my day. Where hair brushed and teeth cleaned. It is my much-awaited Bible time. Quiet time, wrapped once more in God’s Holy Word. No, not just a Book or two. To ease my conscience. Wondrous and loving moments spent immersed in God’s Love Story. For me and for all His beloved children. This is what the Holy Scriptures are. God’s Love Story.

Scripture Reading: The Lord your God is with you,
the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you,
in His love He will no longer rebuke you,
but will rejoice over you with singing. (Zephania 3:17, NIV)

Even though the story or the teaching may appear to be repeated. New ways and deeper meanings are to be found. When we persist with genuine love for Almighty God. When we earnestly seek God in new and in wondrous ways. God will always reveal Himself in awesome displays of love and of hope. Once more our heart and our soul to God we sing His praises.

Scripture Reading: Psalm 89

A Maskil

I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever,
with my mouth I will make Your faithfulness known
through all generations. (Psalm 89:1, NIV)

Psalm 147

Praise the Lord.

How good it is to sing praises to our God,
how pleasant and fitting to praise Him! (Psalm 147:1, NIV)

God Almighty has placed in our heart. His Holy Word and His never-ending love for a divine purpose.

God’s Love Story is to phrase it my way. Our life’s instruction manual. Our “go to Book.” God’s unlimited and unconditional love is found in every word. God’s teaching and instructions are to be applied in every aspect of our daily life. Our life has no secrets hidden from God our Creator. Our Heavenly Father searches our heart and reads each thought.

Scripture Reading: God already knows our deepest thoughts. And He understands what the Spirit is saying, because the Spirit speaks for His people in the way that agrees with what God wants. (Romans 8:27–29, ERV)

Our journey has not ended. Our journey of faith has no end. In Paradise. In the Kingdom of God. Our song of praise will continue for eternity.

As I journey on my path of faith. I often find myself unconsciously singing God’s praises. Quite literally singing out loud! My love for the God who saved me and loves me so. I am not ashamed of how this may seem to others. I happily sing away. Sing loudly my love and my praises to God. My heart, my soul and my voice raise to Heaven my love and devotion to God.

If God touched your heart,

please highlight your favorite passages

and leave me a message.

Thank you.
