What I love most about God is that He is not distant or remote. He fully understands our emotions: our sadness, our suffering, our joy and happiness.

Jesus told us: "If you've seen me, you've see the Father" (John 14:9) and "The Father and I are one" (John 10:30). Jesus understood our suffering, our pain of being rejected by others and had enormous compassion for sinners, outcasts, the poor and needy.

Our Lord is full of emotion. He loves (Romans 5:8), He grieves (Genesis 6:6), He weeps (John 11:35) and is moved with compassion (Exodus 33:19). He rejoices (Isaiah 62:5), feels joy and sings (Zephaniah 3:17). He is jealous for our souls (Exodus 34:14).

Therefore, every person in the world today can have absolute assurance that every part of their being is cherished by our caring, merciful, and compassionate Creator. Like the Father of the prodigal son, Our God is reaching out to us, waiting for us, longing for us to come home so we can be embraced in His loving arms.

That is so good,

I came across this today...
The Pessimist says,
My cup is half empty.
The Optimist says
My cup is half full.
The Psalmist says
My cup runneth over...Psalm 23:5:)

It's always great to be an optimist. The one who's glass is overflowing will always be an inspiration and encouragement to others!

I love the music from Iona.
My favourite is Take O Take Me as I am.
Their music is so simple but also uplifting.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Come unto Me, and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon My breast.”
I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary, and worn, and sad;
I found in Him a resting-place,
And He has made me glad.
