The Mind of God!

Seeing the 3rd month of the new year coming to a close so quickly after it just got started has gotten me to thinking!  Our Father is so loving, merciful and giving to us.  All He wants from us is our love, faithfulness, obedience, trust and loyalty.  

Do you ever stop and think what He must be thinking and feeling sometimes?  Oh, yes, He is Almighty God, creator of Heaven and Earth, but He is also our Father, our Provider, our Teacher, our Physician, our Comforter, our Everything! There is nothing He can't do or won't do for us...actually already has done for us...but He also gave us our own wills and He won't go past them!  He has laid everything out in His Word for us, to teach us what to do and how to do it.  If we need anything, all we have to do is ASK Him!  But we also need to learn how to ask and then we have to BELIEVE that we will receive what we ask for!  Don't be like a spoiled brat and go asking for grand material things...that's not what this is about!  Like any good, loving parent He knows what is good for us and what we can handle, so He's not going to give us more than we are ready for!  As we grow, so will our blessings from our Daddy, because He is such a loving Father!

He asks us to be obedient and He lays it all out for us!  Can you imagine how we must hurt Him when we refuse to be obedient and 'do it our way'?  How do you think He feels when we get so 'busy' that we don't have time to just talk to Him?  Do you have children that are 'too busy' for you?  How do you feel?  Yes, I am sure that there are times that we do hurt Him, but He loves us unconditionally and His mercy is new EVERY morning and He is forgiving.  He only wants the best for us...health, prosperity, love, joy, peace...the list goes on and on!

I love my  Daddy so much that my heart feels like a huge balloon ready to burst, but it just keeps expanding!  He is my EVERYTHING!  The next time you are in such a rush and are feeling anxiety come over you, just pause for one minute and tell your Daddy how much you love Him.  You will feel His arms around you and His breath breathing into you, renewing you at that moment.

Remember the next time you hear someone say, "Well, if it's God's will!", that God's will is only the best of everything for us, it is our will and disobedience that stops a lot of blessings from coming into our lives!  Don't be blaming God...be PRAISING Him!

Love and Blessings,
Judy
