#71 God's Unending Promises

A blessed reading (".)
Inspired by God's promises to all of us, I've been prompted to write and share some of the beautiful verses I am holding on to. May this serve as an inspiration and encouragement to all of us in whatever phase of life we are in-- be it negative or positive :)


All of us are a beautiful creation of God :)
Psalm 139:13
For you created my inmost being; 
you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 

He consider us worthy; all of us :)
Matthew 10:29-31
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

We are all created in His image; we are His offsprings :)
Genesis 1:27
So God created mankind in his own image,
   in the image of God he created them;
   male and female he created them.


Acts 17:28
‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’


1 John 3:1
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.


We are truly blessed; our God will never stop doing good to us :)
Jeremiah 32:40
I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire them to fear me, so that they will never turn away from me.


He has a plan for all of us, no one is exempted :)
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.


He loves us all; a love we will never be able to comprehend :)
Jeremiah 31:3
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying:
I have loved you with an everlasting love;
   I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

1 John 4:10
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Romans 8:32
He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

Romans 8:38-39
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


He will never leave us nor forsake us :)
Hebrews 13:5
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
   “Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you
.”


He will provide for all our needs,.....and more :)
Matthew 6:25-34
Do Not Worry 
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.


He assures us of victory against all temptations :)
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.


He promises to answer our prayers :)
John 16:24
"Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete."


He assures us His guidance everyday :)
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."


He assures us of His forgiveness :)
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."



Cling to Jesus, He is full of assurances, promises, forgiveness, prosperity, love & guidance and more....

And the most beautiful promise- a life of eternity with Him in heaven; a life our minds cannot grasp yet bits of revelations have been disclosed to us; and discernment will be accessible if we will only just open our Bible and read/reflect on it....

This life on earth is just a temporary life; this is not really the life He promised us..........there is more, far more, and unimaginable; what I know and believe, it will be a life in its fullness, full of awe, wonder, amazement, love, joy and other descriptions that will go on and on.....

Don't worry, life here on earth doesn't mean it will always be hardships, suffering, storms and trials,

...He wants us to have a foretaste of heaven :)

but He doesn't want us to be complacent nor settle ourselves as if nothing "eternal" is stored for us,

He wants us to continue,

.....watching,

.....waiting,

.....praying,

and be a blessing to others :)


Here are some readings that may help us deepen our relationship with our Loving Lord, just click the link :)

"Is there life after death?"


"How can I know for sure that I will go to Heaven when I die?"


"How can I overcome the fear of death? How can I stop being scared of dying?"


"What is Heaven like?"






Ponder this:
So what's your move? To live a life of complacency?, a life of sorrow?, a life of pleasure? or a life for the glory of God?.....Think about it :)


Glory to GOD!
May Jesus' love abounds in us all everyday (".)


Bible in a Year:
Read the Bible in One Year- Here's a reading plan where you and I can focus on God's Words everyday....to make it a habit, make it a practice, Amen :)


Read with me; God speaks to us through His words :)
October 15, 2011- Job 40-42 


Today is the day :)
If you have not received Jesus Christ yet in your heart, today is the day. May you embrace His love and His gift :)


"Lord Jesus, I believe You are truly the Son of God. I confess that I have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed. Please forgive all my wrongdoing, and let me live in relationship with You from now on. I receive You as my personal Savior, accepting the work You accomplished once and for all on the cross. Thank You for saving me. Help me to live a life that is pleasing to You. Amen." (ref prayer by: Mr. Charles Stanley)

Why am I doing this? Simple...."I am driven by the eternal destiny of others."
