“The Lord longs to be
gracious to you; He rises to show you compassion (Isaiah 30:18).”
The greenest grass is found
wherever the most rain falls. So, I suppose it is the fog and mist
of Ireland that makes it “the Emerald Isle” And wherever you find
the widespread fog of trouble and the mist of sorrow, you always
find emerald green hearts that are full of the beautiful foliage of
the comfort and love of God. The picture flows on and on of God’s
grace as seen through the beauty of His creation. How, regardless of
the cloud that arises, He is in control and He allows the life to
grow.
Look at what Paul said
concerning the love of God – NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US from His love.
Clouds will rise. Winds will blow. What seems like unbearable heat
or the burn of cold the moment will pass. Was it just yesterday,
someone complained of all the snow? In a short time, the heat of
today will only be a memory.
He has demonstrated time and
again, Our Father longs to be gracious to His children. He who
breathed life into man knows what each of us needs and is willing to
shower you with His love. |
