November 21, 2023… God’s Precious Love…    


Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ...   Please take the time to take in this song with lyrics from Chris Tomlin  singing  … Precious Love …  Poignantly singing of how God, the Father, extended His precious love to His chosen by sending His Son to shed His blood as the Lamb of God for our sins.

Highlight Passage: …Isaiah 43:4 [NLT] …  Others were given in exchange for you.  I traded their lives for yours because you are precious to me.  You are honored, and I love you. . 

… God promise of His love for His chosen is expressed thru the Prophet Isaiah to His people.

… God’s Prophet, Isaiah, assures God’s family of believers of God’s love for them (and us).

Reference Passage: …1Samuel 16:7  (NLT] …  

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”  

… God in choosing His king from the hours of Jesse, shows that God judge not from physical appearance but from the content of the heart.     .  


Reference Passage: …Psalms 23:4  (NLT] … 

Even when I walk thought the dries valley, I will not be afraid, for Your are close beside me.  Your rod and Your staff protect and comfort me. 

… King David shows God’s everlasting love and protection from his Lord as his Good Shepherd.       


Reference Passage: … Jeremiah 31:3 [NLT] …  

Long ago the LORED said to Israel, “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I had drawn you to Myself. 

… God, thru Jeremiah, declare the Lord’s everlasting and unfailing love for His chosen and faithful people.    


Reference Passage: … John 3:16  [NLT] …  

16 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 

… Jesus declares to Nicodemus that God, the Father, gave Himself to give His life for ALL those who believe in Him as Messiah and Lord.    


Reference Passage… 1John 3:1 [NLT] … 

See how very much our Father loves us, for He calls us His children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know Him.   

…The Apostle John assures true, bon-again Christians of God’s love for all who believe in Christ as Messiah and Lord of all.  


My Devotional JournalToday’s Our Daily Bread entry at this link  , author Jasmine Goh … tells of a young man who was raised by an earthly father whom he later learned wanted his son aborted and raised his son with an attitude of disdain and unfair strictness.  So, later in life when the young man became a Christian, he had trouble accepting the truth (expressed in the Scriptures cited above) that God, our Heavenly Father, loves him and all who believe in Jesus’ finished work on the cross. 


Do you know that God, our Heavenly Father, loved you so much that He sacrificed His Son to  save YOU as a believer in HIs Son as LORD and YOUR Savior?  If you have any doubts about that, I invite you to email me @ willieb13@rocketmali.com so that I can help you be assured of your salvation.  God loves you …  a whole big bunch; … and HE wants to share His love for you.                                                                                             

   

My THANKFULNESS:.. Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for showing me Your love … every day!                                                                   

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, …to be assured that You, Lord, as our Triune God, love us with an everlasting love.
