Jeremiah 30:17 (NKJV): For I will restore health to you And heal you of your wounds,’ says the Lord, ‘Because they called you an outcast saying: “This is Zion; No one seeks her.”’
GOD LOVES US, enough to restore all that’s been damaged, broken, battered, beaten, corrupted, stolen and lost in our lives. All He asks in return for His goodness, grace, mercy, and faithfulness is this: LOVE, for Him and for others.
GOD's LOVE is a WATERFALL, furiously poured out on us. And when we love GOD sincerely and passionately with our whole hearts, soul, mind and strength, we live SOULED-OUT in LOVE, in GOD's Presence, in His Word, in His Spirit, in His Light, in His Truth, in His Protection, in His Forgiveness, in His Provision, in His Compassion, in His Son, in His Grace. And GOD IS WITH US, the same yesterday, today, and forever, and He is our Lord, our Redeemer, our Savior, our Prince, our Comforter, our Advocate, our Counselor, our Healer, our Defender, our Father, and our King. He is ours, and we are His—beloved, saved, redeemed, delivered, healed, renewed, changed—transformed and repurposed. That’s grace and mercy, forgiveness and love; that's complete restoration and perfect peace—always found in EVERLASTING LOVE, ENDURING LOVE, and LOVE ETERNAL, which is ONE PERSON in HOLY TRINITY: GOD.
OUR GOD is living and eternal, sovereign and holy.
OUR GOD is GOD of GRACE and MERCY, GOD of LOVE and COMPASSION.
OUR GOD is GOOD.
OUR GOD is JUST.
OUR GOD is LOVE.
OUR GOD is LIGHT.
OUR GOD is ALPHA and OMEGA, the Beginning and the End.
OUR GOD is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE, the AUTHOR and FINISHER of OUR FAITH.
OUR GOD draws, saves, reconciles, and forgives.
OUR GOD is ALL-POWERFUL, ALL-PRESENT, and ALL-KNOWING, always in control, working all things together for good because we love Him and are called according to His purpose.
OUR GOD knows the plans He has for us, plans to prosper us and not harm us, plans to give us hope and a future.
OUR GOD is known by the FRUIT of HIS SPIRIT: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Goodness, Gentleness, Faithfulness, Kindness, and Self-Control.
NOTHING is too hard for OUR GOD, and NOTHING can separate us from HIS LOVE, for WITH OUR GOD, all things are possible, and we can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens us.
And from Genesis to Revelation, this is OUR GOD: The GOD of REDEMPTION, RECONCILIATION, and RESTORATION, more than able to find the lost, heal the sick, and mend or rebuild the broken, for we may be hard-pressed on every side yet we're not crushed, perplexed but not in despair, persecuted but not forsaken, struck down but not destroyed, for we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS through Him who loved us, and we are VICTORS, not VICTIMS, in HIM, JESUS CHRIST, and through HIM, the HOLY SPIRIT, and for HIM who will never leave us or forsake us, OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, GOD.
