THE NATURE OF GOD TWO: PASSION


God is whole heartedly passionate about us... we consume His thoughts. We need only look at Psalm 139 to see the consuming passion of our Father toward His children. He continually searches our hearts, knows our comings and goings... our daily routine, clears a smooth pathway for our life, knows our thoughts before we speak them, and has encompassed us with a protective hedge. His hand is upon us... ever holding us... ever leading us, and His spirit lives within. He never sleeps in His watchfulness over us. There simply is no escaping His presence, whether we feel it or not the ever-present God is, well... ever-present with us! God’s thoughts toward each of His children are precious and greater in number then all the sand of all the seas on planet earth. He has been thinking about us since before time... since before creation... planning a future full of hope for us in eternity past, millenniums before we existed. On the great mantle of God, over the hearth by which he warms His feet, are countless millions of bottles, each labeled with the name of one of His children, and each containing tears. Never think this God of love who created us ... who counts the hairs on our heads, is not passionately consumed by us... for we are His jewels...
AS WE BEHOLD HIM...
WE BECOME LIKE HIM...
