Great is His Faithfulness

It is a good morning. When there is so much hustle and bustle in our days and even our nights, we can get so bogged down with complaints and fill our thoughts with only what is wrong, but, what is good? I am so compelled to share the GOOD news today, as I should everyday, but today especially. 

God is faithful, ALWAYS. I have been reading through the gospels. I am currently in Matthew, so I guess you can say I just started. As I read, I have been praying I would fall more in love with the Lord by seeing His character lived out in His word, and I can say joyfully today He is answering my prayer as I continue reading.
  

"Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Or do you think that I cannot now pray to my Father, and He will provide me with more than twelve legions of angels? How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?" 

Matthew 26:52-54

When Jesus was betrayed, He already knew He had been betrayed. He knew what was coming and although He prayed the cup of the cross would pass from Him, He went with love for us to do the will of His Father so that the Scriptures would be fulfilled and in turn so would our joy. What a loving God! He has so much to offer us and it is all free. 

I pray for all of those who aren't sure about Jesus, that you will be convinced of who He is, that He died for you, so that you may have life and life abundantly; a future and a hope. 

As I shared in my post yesterday, He is a God full of mercy, compassion and grace. He loves you, is jealous for you and longs for you to come to him. Don't hesitate to call Him your God and to live for Him. It is a choice you will NEVER regret making.

For those of you who do believe in Jesus I have a few encouraging quotes that have blessed me:

"Let us rejoice in the Lord always; let us show to the world that we are a happy and a blessed people, and thus induce them to exclaim, 'We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you." C.H. Spurgeon

"Some blessings come early,

some come late, and some

don't come until heaven, but

for those who embrace the gospel

of Jesus Christ, they come"

Jeffrey R. Holland

Praise God! Love, Jess
