Father Loves You

Posted on July 31, 2022 by bigskybuckeye

From Romans 5:8: “But God proves His love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.”

Knowing Father loves you

Sharing His peace, believe

Molding each life’s purpose

Pouring out grace, receive

Breathing with hope’s mindset

Tasting glory of God

Following divine Word

Seeing through evil’s fraud

Promising you His love

Filling each wayward heart

Leading away from sin

Bringing life’s fresh, new start

Sending His Son to you

Adding up sin-filled debts

Erasing through Christ’s blood

Freeing from deepest nets

Remembering always

Accepting Father’s love

Receiving Spirit’s gifts

Walking with Christ above

From 1 John 4:8-9: “Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent His only Son into the world so that we might live through Him.”

All of the above verses are inspired from Romans 5:1-5: “Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.”

Charles Stanley Quote

Posted on May 15, 2022 by bigskybuckeye

When we learn from experience, the scars of sin can lead us to restoration and a renewed intimacy with God.

From Psalm 119:67-68: “Before I was humbled I went astray, but now I keep Your word. You are good and do good; teach me Your statutes.”
