HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER - HOPE CHURCH TORONTO WEST

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:

And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. 

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the
patient waiting for Christ. –

2 Thessalonians 3-1-5 (KJV) 

 

There is a song —” Just say Amen!” — and it exalts the LORD for all He has done, is doing, and will continue to do for His children.  And, so it goes, “If anyone here knows He is faithful, is there anyone here who knows He is able, Just say Amen…”

The song brings tears of joy and hope to the eyes of the faithful, it is a moving and powerful song that gets me every time I hear it-and most of all, it is so true.

Almost everyone has a story to tell and moments that led up to that story, and currently living out that story in heights of glory for the LORD thanks to His grace and love.

Giving Him glory and praise and saying Amen to all He is and continues to be it a joyful and fantastic way of spending our time during our life.  He is the center of all that we are, all that we do, and all that we see, hear, taste, feel and experience.  When we walk with Him and hold onto His ways and listen to His voice, we will be spiritually enacted and cohesively react according to the principles of the Word -and Him.

Joyful, Joyful, and so amazing is my Lord and His love for me!

Hold Him in your heart, mind, and soul.  Think of Him and ask Him for guidance in all that you do.

And think back about what He has done in your life.  When you pray, reflect on your blessings and how He HAS blessed you over and over. Think of the times He has moved mightily in your life -before complaining about “but He isn’t hearing my prayers now.”  No.  That’s not so!  He listens to the cries of His children.  He knows our needs.  And He does hear always.   It has to be in His time, and according to His will.

So, think back to all He has done for you, or someone you love or know.  And, then realize that He is there for us always and always will be. I invite you to just be patient and continue giving Him praise, glory and obedience in reflection of His love and His will, today and all the days on earth, and then eventually into the glorious entrance of heaven where we will live on in eternity!

“Thank You Lord, I know You are able, and You are faithful, and You are mighty, and You are powerful, and thank You for Your steadfast love, endurance and compassion, I love You now and always, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

____________________________________________________________

May the realization and comfort of this powerful verse bring about a personal reflection as you acknowledge and thank the LORD for all He has done in your life and continues to do, may you ascribe to His Word and His ways, and most of all – give Him unending thanks and glory!

DEAR GOD: Your Divine Love Amazes Me~

The Love of God - Lyrics, Hymn Meaning and Story

The Embrace of Divine Love: A Reflection on God’s Unwavering Forgiveness

In the tapestry of human existence, the threads of divine love and forgiveness are interwoven with the very essence of our being. God’s love, a beacon of hope in the tumultuous sea of life, shines forth, guiding us back to the harbor of His grace. This love is not a fleeting sentiment but an enduring promise, a testament to the boundless compassion that forgives and embraces us, His children, despite our transgressions.

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38-39)

The narrative of humanity is marked by imperfection; we stumble and fall, wander and stray. Yet, in the midst of our failings, the Creator’s forgiveness remains unwavering, a constant invitation to return to the fold. It is a forgiveness that does not keep a tally of wrongs but offers a clean slate, time and again.

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)

God’s forgiveness is not merely an act of erasing our misdeeds; it is an act of restoration. It breathes new life into our weary souls, mends our broken spirits, and renews our strength to rise above our human frailties. In His forgiveness, we find the courage to forgive ourselves and others, to let go of the chains of guilt and embrace the freedom of redemption.

“The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will He harbor His anger forever; He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.” (Psalm 103:8-10)

As we navigate the journey of life, let us hold fast to the truth of God’s enduring love and unwavering forgiveness. May we reflect His love in our actions, extend His forgiveness to our neighbors, and embody the grace that has been so generously bestowed upon us. For in the heart of the divine, we are forever cherished, forever forgiven, and forever held in the embrace of a love that knows no end.

This essay reflects on the profound nature of God’s love and forgiveness, drawing from the rich well of scriptural wisdom.

May it inspire a deeper appreciation for the divine mercy that surrounds us each day, only offered by and through Jesus Christ. Amen!  🙌

“Father, thank You for Your unsurpassed and altruistic love, Your heart and gentle ways surround me daily, I am in constant awe of Your Omnipotence and brilliant Light, may I be led daily by Your grace, Your Word, and Your direction, may I walk humbly and with a gracious manner, and be a reflection of You in my actions, words, and thoughts, may I walk the path of righteousness in and of You, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
