Daily Devotional About abounding in love: Jonah 4:2. I knew that you
are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God
who relents from sending calamity. (NIV) Of the many troubles and trials we face in life, worrying about what God will do to us should not be one of our problems. The God of our salvation is not a being who seeks to destroy us. Our God is a being of love walking beside us in friendship every moment. Our God is a being of love giving us life, who rescues us, and who gives us what we cannot have on earth�a life without end. We have a God�we have a savior�we have a redeemer and friend�who loves us without bounds or limits. In every trial or tribulation of our life, we are not alone because we have a loving God walking with us every minute. We have our calamities. We have our tribulations. However, our God is not the sender of our troubles. Our troubles come from our great adversary, from our great enemy, from the fiery hand of Satan. No matter how much trouble we face, Christ understands us and is with us to help us. Christ does not attack us. Christ does not get up in our face and scream at us. Christ does not even point out our faults and mistakes. Christ does not do any of these things with us because He is gracious and compassionate towards us. For us to live fully in this life, Christ needs us to see Satan and Satanic sin is the source of our trouble. Christ wants us to open the door of our heart to God's love, to God's compassion, and to His love for us. |
