Zephaniah 3:17 (NIV): The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.
GOD LOVES YOU; He is with you and for you, always preparing a way for you to succeed, to persevere, to overcome, to come home—victorious, strong, and courageous. He is your Strength, your Helper, your Comforter, your Guide, your Advocate, your Savior, your Redeemer, your Deliverer, your Healer, your Provider, your Protector, your Intercessor, your Counselor, your Father, and your Friend, and He takes pleasure in blessing, encouraging, edifying, and strengthening you in your walk of faith.
GOD IS WITH YOU through every trial and triumph, cheering you on, helping you through, sustaining you, and carrying you when you cannot carry even the weight of yourself. Even in the midst of your pain, suffering, sickness, or grief, He promises you that all things work together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose; He promises that you are HEALED, DELIVERED, and in GOOD HEALTH now, today, because by JESUS' stripes you ARE HEALED, with nothing broken, nothing lost.
GOD PROMISES that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, that Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world, that weeping may endure for a night but JOY comes in the morning; that you shall not die but LIVE doing the works of the Lord. He promises you UNCONDITIONAL LOVE—an EVERLASTING LOVE—a Father who will never leave you or forsake you—one who sacrificed His Only Begotten Son JESUS, just so you could REPENT, CHANGE YOUR MIND, YOUR LIFESTYLE, and YOUR DIRECTION and BE SAVED, REDEEMED, and RECONCILED to Him--GOD--BY GRACE through FAITH IN HIM--CHRIST JESUS--and so you could spend eternity in His presence.
GOD LOVES YOU beyond your dreams, hopes, and imagination, higher than any mountain, more profoundly than even your natural father or mother. GOD loves you MORE than your spouse or children; He loves you to LIFE, not death, and HIS WORDS to you are SPIRIT and LIFE.
Even when you make mistakes, He gives you another chance, a fresh start, NEW LIFE through JESUS CHRIST, the ANOINTED ONE. And once you've REPENTED and CONFESSED your sins, HE is faithful and just to FORGIVE YOU and CLEANSE YOU of all unrighteousness, for HIS LOVE keeps no record of what you have done wrong (because you are forgiven, and you are loved).
GOD IS WITH YOU through every step of life, even when He seems so far away, and He wants you to trust Him and lean not on your own understanding; He wants you to acknowledge Him in all your ways, so He can direct your steps; He wants you to love Him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength; He wants you to obey, revere, and worship Him in sincerity, humility, in Spirit and Truth. He wants you to surrender your will for His, and to KNOW that He is GOOD, He is JUST, and He is LOVE.
He wants a personal, intimate relationship with you, and He wants to spend eternity with you. Above all, He wants you to know that you are precious in His sight and that you are not alone. You are His, and He loves you. Regardless of what you do or where you have been, His love remains and it will never fail, for He does not change, and JESUS CHRIST is the same yesterday, today, and forever. So, be loved, uplifted, and blessed, resting under your heavenly Father's protection, in His unfailing and everlasting love.
