He will forever love us, strengthen us, protect us, and guide us

“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." Zephaniah 3:17 NIV

“My Pleasure” is the title of today’s message and our Father’s response to whatever we ask in His name. The writer today says, “It was with joy in mind and not sadness, willingly and not begrudgingly, that our Lord died and rose again to give us life through faith in Him… And it is with joy and not cheerlessness, wholeheartedly and not halfheartedly, that He works in us today and will one day bring us into His presence.” That is the unconditional love the unfathomable love that we all desire and actually have and only need to accept from our Father. He finds us worthy and freely gives it to us, no questions asked.

Reflection from Let’s Read the Bible Together (Jeremiah 43, Jeremiah 44, & Jeremiah 45)

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein, because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭44‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Ephesians 3:16

Our Father abides in us to give us the strength to endure whatever comes our way.🙏🏽💚🦋🌈

He will forever love us, strengthen us, protect us, and guide us, my friend.
