The LOVE of God… And SUFFERING.
Recovering slowly from Covid. Appreciate prayers for us…
Here is some truth from Romans 5. I hope encourages you regarding the love of God…and reasons to THANK Him as you read each aspect of His love for you…
Consider…
- His love manifested in JUSTIFYING You -{v1}
- His Love manifested in imparting PEACE -{v1}
- His Love manifested in Granting You ACCESS To God -{v2}
- His Love manifested in your new STANDING IN GRACE -{v2}
- His Love manifested in Hope of a FUTURE JOY -{v2)
- His Love Manifested in Knowing His PURPOSE IN SUFFERING -{v3-4}
- His Love manifested In the GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT-{v5}
- His Love manifested in THE CROSS -{v6-10}
The Love of God, the Foundation and Focus in Times of Suffering and “Knowing,…To be Fully Aware…” of what God is doing in times of suffering, tribulations, pressures…revealing Himself. He is not out to destroy you but develop you! And He uses suffering as a means to produce Christlike character in and through us…” We also glory in our sufferings, because WE KNOW that suffering PRODUCES perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”-(Romans 5:3-5)
How wonderful these gifts of His grace to us of justification, peace, access, a future hope, the gift of the Holy Spirit, the cross of Christ and amidst these Suffering and its purpose included and explained!
The Love of God does not exclude suffering for the child of God!
God bless
