A Reason To Be Glad

How can anyone complain when the invitation is there to be 'invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb'.  It gives great hope for each day and a reason to keep on going on.

Another reason for hope is that our beautiful world was created by God through the Lord Jesus Christ.  (A mystery I know, but true none the less. A mystery in the sense that of there being a distinction implied between The Word and God.)

The first daffodils of spring, the blooming of tulips, the snow carpeting the ground giving a completely different landscape to what was before - all beautiful changes and renewal.  How great and how good is God.  The nations do His will and we're invited to be part of it.

So, to love your neighbour, that is to care about his welfare, perhaps even putting him first, might be the opposite to our inclination, but is nevertheless, the best choice.  Especially if it's done that He, through His Son, might receive the honour and the glory.

I need to be reminded about these things. I need to remember them, hope in them and live by them.

There's nothing for sale on this entry because we don't need to pay anything when we call on His name. It's free.  What He gives is given to us through His grace.
