Unfailing Love...............


How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. Psalm 36:7

Love is a major theme in my life. I explained on Bible Tour before that I grew up with a loving mother and losing her at an early age has caused some damages. I grew up searching for love and my search had led me into some serious trouble and it was frustrating to know that nothing was able to filled that void. It wasn't until that I reconnected with God that I really started to experience the kind of love that I have hoped for all my life. Friend our search for love should lead to God and not away from Him. God wants to be our all and all and every time we look for a substitute we will experience disappointment, frustration and even anger. No one but  GOD  CAN LOVE YOU the way you DESERVE TO BE LOVED.

We were created with a need that only the love of God can fill. Friend, there is no substitute. Listen, your spouse cannot even begin to love you like God does. Frankly, your spouse is ill-equipped and limited in ability and desire to fill all your needs. Trust me when I tell you that your spouse will disappoint you multiple times. God on the other hand is willing and able to be your problem solver. God is our true protector. God is our heavenly father, our healer, friend, lover, provider, victory, and our everything. God is faithful and dependable. He will come through for you. I have come to realize that no matter how much we love, our love is conditional. Human kind of love comes with certain guidelines. The search for love starts and ends with God. Listen, trust God with all of your heart and you will see His glory.

David was a very spiritual man. God said "a man after my own heart". He admitted he had challenges and expressed them through song in his psalms. The reality is there are so many people struggling through life with one form of challenge or another. I think what happens is that when we go through hard times, somehow we feel like we are the only one going through it. We tend to feel like no one else has been through this or even see the vulnerable places of our heart and can relate to what’s going on in your life. We tend to forget that we still have God on our side, and He is the one who really matters.

God wants us to trust Him. He does provide for those who put their trust in Him. When He wanted to provide for Abraham, He tested his faith by asking him to sacrifice his only son (we know that God did not spare his own son for our salvation). God wants us to trust Him. He does provide for those who put their trust in Him. When He wanted to provide for Abraham, He tested his faith by asking him to sacrifice his only son (we know that God did not spare His own son for our salvation). A man of God has this to say about faith "Faith isn't believing in God in spite of evidence but it is obeying in spite of consequences."


Christians still count on their own ability. When in trouble, they get discouraged if they are unable to see a way out. They worry time and again and finally, in absolute frustration and when they have exhausted all they know to do, they finally surrender and declare that it's now "in God's hands?" Friend, God should not be your last resort. God is our first and only hope, God will really provide for those who trust in and understand that He is indeed Jehovah Jireh. After analyzing my life, from childhood to today and after reading my Bible thoroughly, I am convinced that there  is NOTHING that God cannot do.

God can do all things. "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist" Colossians 1:16-17. As believers in Christ, you and I must trust the Lord. When troubles come, we must trust that God it all under control and that He has our best interest at heart. The True Believer does not ask why he should trust God; instead, he asks, "How can I trust God more fully?" The true believer does not ask why this and that has happened or haven’t happened to me, he instead invite God to use him as He sees fit.

God loves us and wants to help us with ALL our problems (from a broken nail, loss of employment, to our struggle with Diabetes, MS, Cancer, High Blood Pressure, Heart diseases to our broken relationships and our emotional trials). All we have to do is let Him in. He wants to help. He wants to be in our lives. He wants us to experience His peace but we need to read and meditate on the Word to know God better. We can only trust someone we know. Friend, get to know God. Let Him be to you what He already is: Your creator, your provider, your healer, you joy, your peace, your salvation and your everything. Let not your heart be discouraged. He is able!

No weapons of disease, no weapons of death, no weapons formed against you shall prosper. Trust God. the adversary cannot win. The victory was at Calvary many years ago. Love won at Calvary.

You are loved. You are not alone. It it is going to work out.

Be saved! Be healed! Be delivered! Be blessed! Be Joyful!

"The fear of man brings a snare: but whoever puts his trust in the LORD shall be safe" (Proverbs 29:25)

Praise the Lord!
